[ale] Bottle Rocket

After years of a hiatus, I've broken out my X10 gear and am having
problems with understanding how to use bottle rocket.

The main motivation is to keep timers on an aquarium.  I now have the
air pump on C1 and light on C2.  Cron keeps lights going from 8am-9pm
and keeps air pump going from 8pm till 8am.   There are live plants in
this tank so when there is no light i need to pump Oxygen into the
water.  During the day the bubbles will remove CO2 and the plants need
that.

I've got a dino light on C4 for the daughters.  I can not seem to figure
out how to only dim the dino lamp using br.  I'm using a lamp module on
the aquarium light because I'm low on appliance modules and I do *not*
want that dimmed.  

It seems that br wants to send a DIM command to all modules in the house
code.  Any ideas? 

I'm using cron too :)
