I also don't know if you answered my question. You implied that you ARE gettings events from Cinema Experience to show up in the eventGhost log.
If you are going to use eventGhost at all you should have a give run through of this: http://www.eventghost.org/docs/short_manual/index.html
It is a fairly intuitive program once you understand the basics of how it works.
You basically want to create macros on the right. You drag events from the log window onto the macro, and after that when the event occurs again it will trigger that macro.
I don't know if there is a plugin to actually control x10 from eventghost, but you can use its ability to run programs with commandline parameters.
Here's my macro to turn all units off
You can actually copy that, and then paste it into eventghost and the macro should show up on the right hand side.
You will need ahcmd.exe which comes in the activehome sdk and you will need to modify this macro I posted to point to the correct location of your exe
I haven't read through this CE thread so I don't know if we are going over old ground here or not...
