I hope this in the right forum. If not, feel free to move it.
I have created a plugin for the home automation program Open Source Automation that can interact with XBMC. As of now it can play/stop/pause video and receive notifications about the state of media that is playing. This can be useful in home automation for the following examples:
- When the doorbell/phone rings, automatically pause video and brighten the lights.
- Automatically dim lights when a video begins playing and brighten them when stopping or pausing.
Of course there is a lot more that is possible, bu these are some basic examples.
I thought some users here might be interested in integrating XBMC into a home automation system. I will continue to post updates about the plugin as they are developed.
