Thanks for the response.  What I was really asking, I guess, is what hardware people recommend?  The automation page of the LinuxMCE wiki lists several different types of home automation protocols, like X10, ZWave and Insteon.  I have no experience with any of these and wanted advice as to which people recommended.  I want ease of use without breaking the bank.  I, too, have a media room with dimming switches already installed.  I was going to start there.  I want to replace these dimming switches with ones that work with LinuxMCE.  Insteon makes a switch that looks just like my existing switches, but I'm not sure if I should go this route.  Any recommendations?

If you were starting from scratch, what light switches would you install in your house to work with a LinuxMCE box?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
