HLC - Multiple Scene Switches Per Room

Is there a way to have multiple scene switches per room in HLC? I plan for all three scene switches to have the same set of commands, just be in different places in the room. Can I just have the OPII configure each one as the scene switch for the room? That would give them the same ID and same links. Would that be a problem?
 
It would not be a problem as long as you never view them in UpStart. If you were to go into UpStart and 3 devices responded to the same Device ID, it will freak out and crash.
 
I don't know if this is true. I have multiple scene switches programmed in the same slot 1-8 or -8 in any given room. It works just fine until you load up upstart and then it is a very big problem. Things just start getting very flaky... Just wanted to relay my experience and I think this is an known issue and not the normal application.
 
Now that I understand how HLC works a little bit more, I realize I don't think I need to do this. I can assign the scene switches to IDs outside the room and not managed by HLC. I will copy the pertinent links from the "master" room controller in that room and status updates should be fine since its based on the transmitted link not the source (or so I hope).
