I've dabbled in it but found it was just easier to get wireless stuff that I can put on different channels so it doesn't interfere with home network but gave me the option of tying it into home network. I got some stuff from HAI (manufacturer) and Smarthome (reseller). They have separate controllers but I tied mine in eventually with an old laptop because some of the controllers can be expensive depending on what options you want from it and if you want the lcd screen remote and if you want to add a stylus to it. Like your buying a palm or something to run your house.
