Home Automation - Indigo Experience

In my continuing search for a home automation solution, Jerry Shields sent this message along, and I wanted (with permission) to pass it along. My buddy David Herren also strongly endorsed Indigo, although he's still X10 bound.

Anyway, from Jerry

I have a house with about 200 Insteon devices all being run by Indigo. It is a great package.

Most linking of Insteon devices can be done within Indigo without touching the device. A few devices don't support that, but most do.

I have lots of sensors (contact closure and motion), switches (dimmers and relays) and other various devices such as a thermostat, etc.

It is available as a demo that you can use before you actually buy it, but I would predict that once you try it you will buy it. 

It is very flexible and since it uses AppleScript for fancy automation, it's VERY flexible. You can do a lot without AppleScript, but there's nothing like being able to write some scripts to adapt to your lifestyle.

Perceptive's support have been top notch too.
