same here, love to be there. However, back to the Insteon support with the stand-alone widget. I want to restate a request on this integration. For people that DON'T have a program already setup for Insteon control (such as PowerHome, HomeSeer, HAL, Indigo, HouseLinc) this setup is great. However, many of us have fully setup programs to control our insteon systems and want xLobby to INTEGRATE with this existing software, receiving updates, sending commans, etc. I would not even consider tossing my investment of money and time out the window that I've spend configuring PowerHome like I want it to work in favor of xlobby's widget and starting from scratch.
Please seriously consider adding this integration. I don't know what type of broadcasts the other systems use, but PowerHome now broadcasts UDP packets for all changes (xLobby could read these and update the appropriate screens built buy the end user of course) and uses a socket server to receive commands easily.
Thanks again for all the hard work on making this new version viable, just adding my thoughts on the HA front.
