I personally use LinuxMCE (as is obvious when you look at the article I
wrote many moons ago about it). One of the main device driver developers
for LinuxMCE, who wrote the DMX, Z-Wave, 1-Wire and KNX (and probably a
few more) drivers for LinuxMCE has his own new project called
ago-control. Compared to LinuxMCE it is much more loosely coupled, i.e.
no central database, and can easily be extended using Python based
device drivers. It hasn't been released yet with 1.x version, but is
already quite useful, and runs on everything from raspberry pi on
upwards, i.e. quite efficient. http://www.agocontrol.com has details,
and the system is licensed under GPL.
