Perceptive Automation makes fantastic home automation software for Macs called Indigo. A couple years ago, I decided to delve into automating various functions in our house. After reviewing several of the technologies on the market including X10, UPB, and ZigBee among others, I settled on a relatively new technology called Insteon, in part due to the great software I found for it. Perceptive Automation, the brilliant brain-child of Matt Bendiksen, provides extensive capabilities for automating your home. It does so in a way that is user friendly for non geeks, but is also incredibly flexible for geeks that want to automate every facet of their domestic lives. Indigo and Insteon are backward compatible to X10. However, after experiencing the reliability of Insteon, you may find yourself replacing any x10 devices you have. I use Indigo to control our lighting and irrigation, with plans to eventually automate HVAC and home entertainment. If you have ever wanted a Smart Home and own a Mac, I highly recommend Indigo. Available from MacHomeStore.com for $180.
