X10 (aka Domia 10) - the tried and tested, easy and cheapest route into Home Automation.
First invented in Scotland, and with millions of units installed Worldwide,
this brand has the widest range of modules available, and in many cases
does not require any re-wiring, since the X10 control signals are sent over
the existing mains wiring of the house

ZWave - New technology that uses radio signals to communicate between
modules. Each module can act as a repeater, so range is not an issue, and
each module can also report it's status. Signal transmissions are virtually
guranteed by the use of a mesh network, and confirmation status is available.
Switching of modules is faster and more reliable than with X10
