As far as the home automation, that's probably best suited as being a 'normal' XBMC addon, which at this time would handle the same way as others. XBMC Constellation is and always will be at it's core a "Remote Control for XBMC" and although some potential new features could be coming to 'enhance' that, it doesn't seem to fit adding home automation controls directly into the app itself since both iOS and Android have dedicated apps for that purpose. (Again, if someone created an addon for XBMC it could be used similar to other addons)
Yes, my idea it's to develop a home automation xbmc add-on to make this and put right to the comunity. there are the reason that i'm question from the support of xbmc-addons inside your app and and can be put without your intervention. Would be great to add xbmc add-ons to the sidebar, as this could put more icons with more functions .for this time, this feature to open add-ons to third party apps are in the hand of the xbmc developers, but i'm trust that there are working on it, and can see the add-ons in the ipad like the tv screen.

Thruthfully, I don't own any Android devices so I haven't bothered to ask any details on the progress for it.
Yes, not worry. I'm imaginated that the constellation team are expert in develop ios apps and there are learn more to port the application to android or is the first app that make in that os. The best work, is the work well done. Its good to know that you planned to end the port. this piece of software is too good to be alone in ios and thus sell more and reach more users.
