There's another way. With the Sonos plugin, I set a counter to a value, and then let Comfort do the rest. In Comfigurator, you tell it to fire off a response when a counter changes.

 

Set a counter that you want to trigger, and put all your X10 commands and other functions in there, rather than letting homeseer control it. For example, the HS Sonos plugin send this type of command when a Zone starts playing :

&hs.plugin("pjcComfort2").Transmit("C!C901")

So when the Lounge Zone starts playing, HS detects this via the Sonos plugin, and tells Comfort to set Counter 201 (C9 in Hex) to a value of 1. Comfort now knows that lounge has started playing, and sends the IR commands to the Amp for the lounge, etc. HS is a conduit only for settings some flags and all the logic is in Comfort

 

 

As for HS doing commands, refer to this - http://www.cytech.biz/Downloads/Files/163/rs232.pdf

Search for X!P1005 which is the command I posted above - this shows you examples of what to send as an RS232 command.
