Then I guess my web site is your first stop. :-) For some reason my
Sourceforge site always shows up first on Google searches
(http://linuxha.sf.net/) but the http://www.linuxha.com/ is a better
one to go to in my opinion.

I'm just getting started with Insteon and I've written an interface to
use it with Mr. House (http://www.misterhouse.com/). Mr. House has a
pretty steep learning curve but is extremely powerful. There is other
software but I don't know what level of expertise you have and in what
direct you want to go in.

BTW, others are working on more Insteon code and I know of at least
one person who is working on UPB code for Mr. House.
