We have received our licensed for our new S3-1080P, HDMI video card and Bluray DVD drive as well as a license to playback material. So we will be testing systems over the next several weeks. Our first step is to build a xLobby system that will playback Bluray directly from inside xLobby from the DVD drive. The secondary plan, legal issues permitting is that we build it into xLobby completely.
I will be posting more follow up news on this in the future, stay tuned.

I have been experimenting with some new features that we want to fully implement into Ver 3 like on the fly theme changes, auto changing of the background images by event or timed values, etc. Some other ideas on what some users want are welcomed.

Below are one of several early screenshots of xLobby Ver 3 lighting menus using insteon lighting products. Shown are dimmer style designer wall switches with 2 way on\off status shown.
Overlay with direct access to rooms or areas of lighting with indication of lighting status and colored id events to indicate scheduled lighting events based on different groups. Lighting events can be sorted by groups or lighting status.
This screenshot shows lighting activity by lamp style icons in different rooms.
