What are people using these days to control scenes other than the Grafik Eye? I only need to control two switches (lighting banks) in my HT, so the GE seems overkill. I hope to use X10 via Pronto & IR543.

Insteon (www.smarthome.com).

I'm probably going with a spacer. If the economy improves quickly enough maybe RadioRa, and if things get worse, I'll cheap out with Maestro IRs.

The maestro's would work if you only want 1 pre-programmed scene and then off, on, raise all, lower all. As mentioned above the Spacers and Insteon is the next step, though the spacer still limits you to like 4 scenes and Insteon is a little more versatile.

I haven't had the greatest experience with Smarthome. Is the insteon technology solid from IR to the switch? Any intermittent problems?
