Indigo is a home control server that integrates INSTEON and X10 hardware devices. Save money, conserve water, and reduce electrical usage by automating your home with Indigo's unlimited scheduling and control logic. Using Indigo's built-in Web server, you can access and control your home from anywhere using any modern Web browser (including the iPhone and iPod Touch!).
Indigo was developed from the ground up to be a robust, Mac OS X native, home control server. With Indigo you can automate your lights, appliances, thermostat, sprinkler system, and more! You can even control Indigo via email from your cell phone or the office. In addition to having a built-in Web server, Indigo has customizable graphical Control Pages for creating Web browser UIs to control your home. Indigo's Control Page editor allows you to create and edit Control Pages without the need to understand HTML, CSS, or JavaScript programming. Indigo's intuitive user interface allows you to create complex home control logic without complex scripting languages. And for users comfortable with AppleScript, Indigo provides a thorough and powerful AppleScript object model and dozens of AppleScript verbs.

Within an hour I had quite a setup going.
Some elements of the GUI are a bit weird and less than clear.
However all in all it works well and is VERY robust - no hangs or crashes.
