I have a number of KPLs that have scenes set. I'm
creating a web interface and would like to be able to
run these same scenes from that interface. What are my
options to have a web link/button (or really a formula)
that sets a scene?

I *think* my options are:
1) Run a formula that sets the levels for each light in
sequence. This gives me to most flexibility, but the
lights turn on one after another. A scene in my kitchen
takes several seconds to go through the 5 lights.

2) Make the scenes groups and run group commands. So
far this seems to be the best option (so far this what I
am using to group lights for "All Off" buttons for each
room. This of course limits the number of scenes, but I
doubt that will be a problem.

Is there anyway to fire the command that a KPL button
does? It seems to me it must fire a specific command
that causes that scene to be in effect. Doing such
would buy me a few extra scenes (plus make it easier
when scenes are changed).

One last thought, I have heard the modem is faster than
the controller. Does that mean a that my formula that
runs 5 lights in a row would be faster?

Thoughts from the experts?
