I'm coming to this thread a bit late due to Yahoo not sending digest
out reliably but...

Interested in your theme here. I too use xLobby and have been playing
with the xAP plugin.  I've got it working well for quasar temperature
reporting into XL.

I also got Patrick's xAP comfort plugin working independently but then
didn't get to a point of xL integration because I also use the
Comfort/ACE interface and found that I couldn't use the same UCM for
both purposes at the same time.  Was this your problem too or were you
trying to do something more sophisticated?

I'd presumed a second UCM could be used but I'm not sure.

(My intent had been to control X10 lighting scenes set up in Comfort
via the xAP interface but didn't get that far...yet.)
