Hi Mark!
Software for home automation in KNX:
Elvis - http://www.it-gmbh.de/indexe.htm
Ipas - http://www.ipas-products.com/ex/s_ovr.php
NETxAutomation - http://netxautomation.com/ENGLISH/
IQhome from eibmarkt -
http://www.eibmarkt.de/IQHOME_Website_EN/iqhomestart.html
...there are many others.
If you want to go for mechanisms, then have a look at:

This one doesn't costs around 800, but look at his functionalities:

If you want a low price instalation, go for the "universal interface"
of devices as inputs - if you don't find them, just do a search with
that expression:) :

Search also for these: 75342001

In the end, the prices for these articles are not as low as x10, but,
like AMX or Creston, this is not bricolage!

Cheers!
