Hi Paul,
Yes, I have heard of xAP but not explored it yet. It's definitely something
I will be looking into.

Hi too, Rob,
Harmony, eh..? Not heard of that before but I will also look into it. Is
this a new system (like AMX, Crestron) or a platform that will combine many
systems?

Thanks for the welcome too, guys :)

p.s. should I be removing my signature and previous posts etc when
replying?
I'm thinking of the people who get the daily digest - I just get the posts
sent to me individually.
Thanks :)

Best regards,

Welcome John.

You'll find this is a nice group!

You could also look at xAP which is very similar to xPL. I run bits of both
here.
