Active Server pages? I should imagine that web based is the easiest way to work – after all half the world has set up a web cam(!)

Nice one.

 

I think this setup has serious HA potential.

 

With Comfort, HomeVision and HomeSeer all now having web interfaces it's not hard to imagine how you could control your entire home with a PDA on a wireless LAN.  I believe there is also a VNC client for the pocket PC. (iPAQ is cheaper than colour Pronto).

 

Imagine Comfort detecting movement on the driveway and sending pictures from the CCTV camera at the front of the house to your PDA. 

 

Not completely sure on how all this would be achieved but there is great potential.
