Check this thread for xbmc integration: http://www.pilight.org/Thread-My-setup-XBMC-event-based-lighting

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. You can check http://wiki.pilight.org for a full description.

So, I'm bringing up this old thread again, as I'm picking up the project. I've been looking at both pilight and webIOPI. WebIPOI has a terrible looking UI and poor cross-platform compatibility.
So, I've decided to use pilight.
Thanks for the link CurlyMo, but I'm looking for a UI. I want to be able to press a specific button to light a certain lamp. I guess I have to intergrate the UI into Xbian by myself, but maybe you could help me set it up so I can control the relayboard from the webUI?
Thanks in advance
