I was wondernig if I could get my lights to turn on/off when I hit play. I am using a URC light switch that is RF compatible with my URC-810 remote.. however would be nice to do it inside xbmc. I have no idea where to start however.
You would need some sort of RF transmitter(433MHz) and the codes to trigger your scenes... Not likely to be able to happen from XBMC. Now if you were to have UPB lighting, that is do able.... I personally like the URC light switches(which are made by Lutron..) especially because the RTI programmers have cracked the signal so I can use my RTI remote to trigger those switches... lol..
But I think you will find that they will only be able to be controlled via the remote...
