IBM Home Director HD501 and a Powerhouse TM751. - The dimming percentages
are the same with both transceivers.

Hi A.J.,
Two ways come to mind (with a timer and without):

1)	If	Minute-Timer	Is		0
	Then	Minute-Timer	Set		2
	Then	...

2)	Do	Number-A	Set		Minute
	Do	Number-A	Divide		2
	Do	Number-A	Multiply	2
	If	Minute		Is Now		Number-A
	Then	...

The dimming problem sounds familiar.
What X10 transceiver are you using ?
