But the real killer is my BS9000 setup with 6 CDs of a custom printed CD covers of plain colours. I have installed subtle Philips Hue lights on a side. Whenever I chose a CD, say number 2 which has Blue cover, my side lights go Blue as well. I will make a video in a months or so to showcase what has been done so far.

I don't do IFTTT as it create network lag, I handle everything on my server, but if I make something decent good quality that is capable of a release project quality I will definitely post it. Stay tuned for video. 

Hi mczac! Have you ever had a chance to study the BL5 data protocol?

I'm trying to figure out how to turn it on and off via PL using a 3rd party processor that has a simple 12v trigger out, but didn't had any sucess yet.

it is very simple, I have BL anniversary edition myself dusting them off to wake up my village, say tomorrow, or now, why not))).

You need to  get a voltage on Pin1 exceeding 2.5V threshold, to be at 3-5V. to let relay in BL5 know that you are turning them on. that's it.
Enjoy.

BS9000 hardware control is implemented, now wiring bits to modern interface. First mock-up of what it looks when you choose in the browser which CD will be played.
