Since the Automated Home news article - thanks Mark :-) I have had quite a few requests to join the beta program - and all are welcome.
I do want to stress that this application is useable on all devices that can run Flash content but it can only control your devices that are xAP enabled. There are typically three ways to do this. An existing xAP application that has been written for your device, a device that has xAP embedded or an existing home automation application that supports xAP or has a xAP plugin available. Most HA applications do have such a plugin , and the really nice thing about this approach is that most of the hardware devices supported by your software then become controllable via xAP too.
A list of well over 100 xAP devices and applications is available on the main website.
(X10, CallerID, Dynalite, 1-wire, Weather, TV listings, News, Traffic, BlueTooth, DMX, RFXCom, HomeEasy etc etc)
