This is quite nice. If you're up for another one... :)

Q1 : What's the best way to use the up/down keypad buttons for volume? Pulse the volume up/down in the "On-Pressed" event? Or use the Pressed/Release events to do up/down? I'm worried about room max-volume, and don't see an obvious way to limit things.

Q2: Ideally the "Playlist Press" would be "tri-state":
Press State 1: "Play Rush Playlist".
Press State 2: "If Playing, Pause Rush".
Press State 3: "If Rush is paused for < 1 hour, Continue Playing Rush else restart the Rush playlist".

I'll give this a try and see if it works.

Haven't tested it out but, I think the double tap feature you were trying for would work out if the initial programing was put under the single tap event instead of when the button is pressed.

Could I hire your services for some assistance?

If I have, for instace, List with next items: One, Two, Three, Four. How can I use conditional statement ? I tried to use next statement: if MyRoom -> Thermostat -> LIST 1 VALUE EQUAL TO Two. This programming does not work (statement, located under that didn't execute). What wrong I do ?

Would the Room Control driver make this process easier?
