ECS (Event Control System)

ECS is an all-purpose automation program suitable for virtually any tasks (in residential, commercial, and industrial environments). Boasting an object-oriented design, ECS is elegantly simple, yet extremely powerful. Tasks may be implemented via schedules or English-like scripts. Accessible via Internet and/or PDA. Prices range from $140 to $680.

Automated tasks may be implemented via simple time-based schedules (great for novices)

and/or English-like scripts (which give power users the flexibility they demand).

And anyone who can surf the web will be comfortable with ECS, as it supports a browser-based/web-accessible user-interface.
