[QUOTE="TritonT, post: 498422, member: 26020"] @ WileECoyote Yes, having ‘event driven’ actions would be a great addition. I for one would really like MediaPortal to pause a movie and bring the lights up when the phone rings or someone comes to the door. Regarding triggering macros, by running xAP Floorplan in the background I can trigger macros far beyond what you are proposing here. For example I can modify a macro at runtime based on who’s in the room, the temperature, the time etc. Also I can stagger execution in a macro for a more pro look. I’m not saying it’s easy to setup but it is already possible. Also only about half the people who have X10 will be able to use your plugin since it’s CM15 only, and no-one who has a more modern home automation setup such as C-Bus, Rako or Z-Wave can. The point I was making is that all this code is already written and functional (with skins for Blue, StreamedMP, ReVision, Replicant and Monochrome), the only thing that needs to added is event driven actions in MediaPortal/Patrick’s plugin (ideally bi-directional), I’ve had a look at Patrick’s code and it would seem possible to add this function.
