Please read THIS General CES 2006 Update Disclaimer FIRST:
I had a great visit with Chris Walker, President of Control Think. Chris's software is used in applications for Digital Media Research (reviewed HERE).
He offers a ZWave control solution along with his hardware. Setup is VERY easy. Just take a ZWave enabled device, hold it next to his box, and an icon appears on the screen (which represents the type of device that was added). You can then click and drag this icon to a floor plan of your home (see the screen shots below). This device is then encrypted and also incorporates any special "ZWave feature" that are particular to that device.
This system also incorporates a ZWave USB computer interface and a wireless remote.
This system is designed for very high reliability and was proven with extensive testing throughout the last year.
If hardware has a ZWave chip in it, then it is already pre-certified for compatibility.
A software development kit is presently available for manufacturers.

Chris is a regular Cocooner and I know I didn't give this great product the justice and coverage that it warrants, so I'm hoping Chris can provide additional details (after he rests up from presenting at the show).
