Default Home Automation

Hi - what's the best website for home automation products, tips etc.

Looking to use my PC or Mac to do some basic stuff like auto light switching and other stuff like temperature control, cctv/home security monitoring etc. later on.

cheers, Jai

Cheers Guys!

Nothing like that Hutton_d If only things were that easy !

Which system do you guys recommend? I've seen Insteon and X10 which apparently is now old and not as reliable as the new systems. The downside with the new technologies is the lack of plug in modules for them.

Cheers
