(1 stars) - Smartlinc falls short
I have been an avid X10 user for 10 years. I recently purchased an Iphone - how cool would it be to use it as a controller for home automation ? Pretty cool if you want to replace your existing X10 network with the newer more expensive Insteon devices. This controller certainly could have been a 5 star if it was able to control X10 but all you get is a manual control panel that you must navigate to in the software. I was sadly disappointed and returned mine as I am not going to upgrade all my devices to Insteon at one time to be able to use my existing network.

(5 stars) - Awesome! Now I can talk with my house via iPhone!
Awesome product, but I think the title is a bit overstated, I wouldn't call it a central controller. It does have a lots of cool features, but falls short of "Central controller", but it is an awesome (sorry for repeating, but it it really IS awesome) iPhone/iPod-touch API with some additional functionality like simple timers.
You will not be able to execute any automation scripts, but it is great for simple schedules, and oh, camera support is such a nice touch.
So, if you won't pick on title, this device is totally deserves 5 stars.
