I'm deciding on which home automation software to get since there are too many software out there. Could everyone state which home automation software they using and also tell us why you prefer it than others (pros and cons). thanks

CQC (www.charmedquark.com)
It is robust, network based, has support for a large range of devices and allows me to write drivers to gear that only I have.

am looking at the cqc website for supported devices. it seems like they don't have alot of device listed on their website? Is there a way to check all compatible devices for cqc?
Personally I am using Promixis products at the moment for my Now Playing project (see my blog) but will be looking into either Elve or Homeseer/HStouch when the snow starts to fly.
HomeSeer is one of the most used home automation packages and has the most active message board of any of the automation packages. You can download a free 30 day trial ( http://www.homeseer.com/downloads ) and if you have any issues put in a help desk request or ask the message board here:

I'm a CQC user but to be perfectly honest I don't think I would invest any $ in CQC right now. The company seems to be in a never ending tail spin and I'm not sure it is going to pull out. It is sad because I don't think any other software can really touch it's positives. There are other alternatives you really should look at first.
