Sherlock
For a really fast search of internet resources, try the “Home Automation” Sherlock channel. It searches wiki’s, forums and newsgroups and you can often find your answer this way. For example, your devices are no longer responding to your FireCracker or hand-held remotes and you suspect that the transceiver may not be working. You look on the transceiver and see that it is model RR-501. Then use the “Home Automation” channel in Sherlock to search for "RR-501" and find that others have seen this before and have found a solution.
To enable the Home Automation channel, visit the Thinking Home’s Preferences window and select the Extras tab. The Sherlock button is located there. This is available for Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier.
