Event handling / Home Automation - Andre - 2011-07-25

Hey guys,

I am currently implementing all kinds of systems in my home automation environment using IPSYMCON...

From within XBMC I would like to call a http:// addrr (Script on the Home Automation Server to e.g. Dim Lights) whenever a movie starts, is paused or resumed. Is there a list of events and how to work with them using Phyton in XBMC?


Thanks in advance,
André

You can check out this post right here. I did talk about event broadcast within xbmc and listening to those with eventghost.

PS. Eventghost is windows only, but I'm sure you can find other software to capture the events from xbmc if you're on a different os.
