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?
