In EventGhost you could have a macro triggered on incoming call pickup or just incoming call if you vould like the automation executed before picking up (with a timer to restore whatever action taken if you don't pickup.
The macro asks XBMC about what kind of media that is played (parse the playback status from the XBMC HTTP API). If video you could pause, if audio dim...or whatever.
Or you could keep the playback status broadcasted by the XBMC EventServer in memory inside EventGhost to decide what action to take on an incoming call.
You could even ask XBMC about the volume used (not that exact though as all music is mastered at diffrent levels) and just dim the volume if a threshold is reached. Or if you control the volume with an A/V Receiver you could ask the receiver (via RS-232) about the volume used.
You could also use EventGhost to send the notifications to XBMC instead of letting Notify Pro send them. You have more control and could do more condition based notification broadcasting (like depending on the time, where media is played etc).
If GPS could be integrated you could use your (and other family members iphones) as an "at home" indicator.
Examole: "Send SMS notification with text to main XBMC client only if my wife is not at home".
The options for automation of XBMC and your home are endless with this approach.
I've already spent alot of time to get all the above (plus a lot more with lights and automation of all electronics) working with Bluetooth. Never got it to work as I wanted. But with Notify Pro it will be easy!
