The KODI module is still a work in progress! I finally started working on it again last weekend.
Right now, I'm working on a method that will display an image from a doorbell camera for x seconds, and then automatically resume playback to where you left off. Then I still need to add Pictures and Music Videos to the library. I can't promise everything will be posted this weekend, but for sure the weekend after next as that's a holiday weekend for me. It's very close and has performed very well for me.
The only catch is you need KODI open for it to work. It does however automatically reconnect every minute, so if you close KODI then reopen it, it will auto reconnect.
The Tasker module is very neat, but... I never documented it! No reason it can't be added to my youtube account. Certainly if I continue to get subscribers and views, I don't mind posting it to my channel along with a video. I think the Tasker module would greatly increase my traffic (due to all the Tasker folks), so it's really a win-win. Setup is a little tedious, but everything relies on only three Tasker Javascripts, so it's not too difficult. Way easier than a lot of Tasker tutorials I've seen. I want to add the KODI module and SpeechParser modules first though.
Currently, the Tasker module:
1. Tracks, incoming/outgoing calls (so you can pause your TV when a call is received to your mobile number)
2. Gives Premise access to your phones sensors (position, humidity, temp, light, etc...)
3. Automatically keeps Premise aware of your location and allows you to add locations in Builder and trigger events automatically when you are at those locations.
4. Tracks phone hook state.
5. Tracks missed calls.
It does this all with a special protocol I developed, so multiple things are sent from my phone as part of a single packet. It's really like several dumb Tasker Tasks, that just pass the raw data to Premise, and Premise does all the processing. It's much more organized to have all home automation logic within Premise.

Have you released the updated KODI module? I still want to get that working. Also, you mention Tasker. Do you use Bluetooth, wifi, GPS, NFC, or something else to trigger the away from home stuff?
