I'm not sure what country you're in, Harry, but in the US the word
"domination" tends to be associated with things other than home automation.
You might want to consider a different name.

There's a persistent legend that even Coca-Cola had to change their name in
China, where it meant "bite the wax tadpole"

A similar tale arose of why GM renamed the Chevy Nova in Spanish-speaking
markets where the name translates to: "No go!"

Apocryphal, or not, I would do a test survey asking a sample of Americans
what they thought a program called "homedomination" was likely to do.

Just a thought.
