HI all!

Bought a new house just iching to be Smart. My last home had HAI and Premise but I wan't happy with the UI options. I'm not a big coder (Modified the GC, Denon and a few other drivers) so didn't greatly modify Premise.

I'm impressed with the latest version of XBMC and wondered if there's been any development efforts around a bi-directional integration. Premise is wonderful for complex automation options, HAI for security, and I/O. Looking to move to multiple Droids and thought skining in XBMC might be quicker.

Any thoughts or direction would...well keep me from spending a bunch in the wrong direction.

Thanks,

Maybe ex-domus ?

Hi,

I don't know if this software can integrate with premise, but I know that the enterprise wich has developed ExDomus has used "Premise" in few another installations.

The Enterprise is DHC (Digital Home Concept : http://www.digital-home-concept.com/ ), It's a french enterprise.

Otherwise, you must develop an addon to windows media center wich send http requests to premise server

I just reviewed and I'm really intending to integrate (actively) to XBMC. I just purchased the Motorola Atrix Driod and really like the functionality AND efforts are underway to get XBMC on it. Just seems like hooking up with the very active XBMC user community would provide momentum to Premise as well as infusing still more innovation.

XBMC Dev:

...also settled on Zwave and Radio Shack was clearancing out so got all modules for under 10 bcks.


So any other ideas? Or is the community OK with the UI already integrated, which has many benefits!

Thanks,
 
I'd never really looked into XBMC, but I'm impressed after watching the youtube video below. XBMC looks like an active community too which is a big plus. It should be possible to integrate Premise in a setup similar to what's shown below. There's a few things that may/may not be missing such as security system status, two way control of A/V components etc...

If anyone knows how the guy in the video made the XBMC ipad GUI, please post as I'd like to research on how to make such a GUI too :)
 
etc,
 
I lost track of this thread. Still certainly something I want to do and with the latest XBMC release (Frodo) they now have cool ipod, ipad, android, apple TV, and even Raspberry Pi images. and of course Windows, Linux, and iOS. The skinning community is still growing so the UI's for each of these would be mostly self sustaining. I guess I'm wondering how to create a bi-directional module that will put/pull/act on Premise states, and visa versa. Maybe the E.G. plugin is a less direct, but more comprehensive, way there?  It would also allow for control of XBMC on non Windows sytems...
 
PM me your email and I'll ship you the beta for Premise EG.
 
I don't think using EventGhost in between Premise and XBMC is how I would do it. Within a module, Premise can handle HTTP requests and TCP connections. If XBMC uses UDP, you'd need to develop a plugin using the Premise SDK or you can just write a simple perl script and let it transfer the packets from UDP to a TCP listener for Premise to connect to.
 
Nothing agains EventGhost, but it doesn't have the predefined classes like Premise and this does save time. The Premise EventGhost instructions will show you how easy TCP is within Premise, using a dummy Lantronix UDS10 work around. I'd try something similar with XBMC.
 
PS: I still don't use XBMC and probably will not until the whole bluray iso with menu support thing is ironed out. Frodo looks really nice though and as soon as they add this feature (and it's not beta or something) I'll try it!
