Re: Cbus XPL XAP

[Kevin Hawkins <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use MainLobby as a C-Bus front end (via xAP/HS) which is very
polished
in appearance, but I don't think ML will be useable on the Nokia as it
is Flash based.  I don't believe the Nokia has a Java VM either does it
?  I have also used XLobby with the xAP plugin but ongoing development
of XLobby seems to go in stops and starts by the author so I would base
any usage on what it does now rather than futures.

There is one other possibility  which could achieve what you want - let
me check if they support the 770.

If you like Ajax based web solutions it may well be that xAP Floorplan
will run on the Nokia 770  - I haven't tried it though. If it does that
will give you exactly what you've asked for with realtime
display/control  of C-Bus devices (if you use the xAP C-Bus gateway) ,
it also includes a scheduler and script engine.  You can skin the
background and device icons to achieve any look you want.
