Having all this time off during the holidays has given me the opportunity to get my home automation install going a bit and once I had a few more switches in the first thing i was itching to do was find some software to control it all. 
Don’t get me wrong, I love having the switches talk to each other and being able to shut off all the lights from bed is great, but the real power of home automation comes when you can unlock things like conditional events and incorporate external data like weather forecasts (i.e. It’s going to rain later today so we won’t activate the sprinklers this morning).
Unfortunately there’s not much out there in the way of a concise comparison for Insteon software, but I found a few reviews that led me towards either Indigo or HomeSeer. I was worried that if I installed Indigo on my Macbook that everytime I took it with me the house would be in a state of helplessness, and I have a spare windows box so I’m going to try Homeseer and see how it goes.
I’ll let you peeps know!
