I've never done any home automation though.  Seemed like it could get very expensive for all the equipment.  the package is driven by mh and Perl so runs on anything.  Get that big ole Unix iron off of Ebay to dim your lights!!  Or, that old 386 in the closet would work too!

Hey Dow,

  I've played with misterhouse in the US and Japan, but didn't try in AU 
since everything here is 220V and doesn't work with my existing X10 
equipment.  That means I haven't touched it in 2 years.  MH was ok at 
the time.  I never heard of using it for GPS anything.  I preferred HEYU 
for automating tasks.

  Here's some more pointers for Home Automation (the other HA)
