Installing into XBian can be done by using the pilight apt repo.

WebIOPI is not the same as pilight. webIOPI controls basic hardware interfaces. pilight lets you also control hardware interfaces but also includes many protocols to decode various wired and wireless protocols. pilight also offers a JSON API so you can use various GUIs to control your devices. There are already people working on mobile phone apps, there is a cross-platform java GUI and just like webIOPI a integrated webserver / GUI. In pilight, the hardware interfaces, protocols, and clients (through the API) are fully modular. It's written in C so low-profile and fast.
