Has anyone got this system to control home lighting?

It gets some good reviews and at the price I'm quite tempted.

Likewise very tempted and keep nearly ordering and then somehow not quite getting to hit the buy button. I need convincing!

I have lightwaveRF stuff but instead of getting the link hardware I connected a Raspberry Pi up to a RFXCom receiver and run automation software on the Pi. The advantage is that it is more powerful, works with other protocols too and doesn't rely on a third party server.

The starter pack is fairly tempting.
