This is an idea to include XBMC support inside of InControl. If you are intersted in this plugin, please leave us a comment with the interaction you would like between InControl and XBMC.

I think it might be easier to make an add-on for XBMC to list devices and or execute scenes when the player starts, is paused, is resumed, or ends. I have this working on a PC os (laptop running XBMC) but I am having issues with lights coming back up on Android stick running XBMC when player is paused, ends, or is stopped.
However, I'm not sure what you have in mind. I like both InControl and XBMC. Getting the two to work together would be awesome.
I have fixed issues with my script to allow XBMC to send commands to InControl. This script will dim lights when player starts playing a movie, is paused, or stopped or ends. You will need to create three scenes: PlayMoive, PauseMovies, and StopMovie for the lights you wish to control when using XBMC.
Place the following script in a folder called scripts in the XBMC root directory also you will need to add or create the script autoexec.py under the userdata directory:
example:
____________________________________
import os
import xbmc
xbmc.executescript('special://home/scripts/playeraction.py')
____________________________________
This is the playeraction script in the scripts folder. Edit the IP address to the IP of the machine on your network running InControl. I added notifications these can be commented out by placing adding a # the start of lines that start with xbmc.executebuiltin
