It's certainly a good piece of software, especially in the newest
version.  Salling Clicker is also a very useful application for a home
automation point of view.  With it installed you can then connect your
phone through bluetooth/wifi to the computer (it even works with
Windows) and control iTunes, EyeTV and loads of other apps.

Since Applescript is so easy to use, and hooks exist in practically
all applications for almost every function, you can create a script
for Clicker to control almost anything.  This will be one of the ways
I would control my automated home, as long as I can get some decent
home automation interface software.
