	Isn't this kind of Asterisk interface to home automation what the xPL
package in Trixbox is supposed to offer? Is there a source for clear,
concise, *tested* guides and instructions for Asterisk/xPL home
automation somewhere other than just a needle in the
http://www.google.com/search?q=xpl+%22home+automation%22+asterisk
haystack? Or maybe there's a better interface than xPL.
