I don't know what hardware they will support in the future Xlobby releases but I use a Global Cache GC-100-12 over a lan to control
both I.R. and RS232 components. the cheapest Global Cachce GC-100-6
is about $150. I use Premise Home Control now but am looking into Xlobby as a possible replacement if I can't get a nicer GUI setup for Premise.
