Thinking Home 2 has everything I need at a reasonable price. It works really well. It's a great value!

I was abandoned by Thinking Home over 4 years ago when I could not get v1.17 to work reliably under Classic, and support disappeared (v1.1.7 is dated April 25, 2004, NOT December 10, 2005, as shown on VersionTracker). In the interim, there has been nothing heard from the developer; I have never even been notified that an update was in beta testing, although my e-mail and postal addresses and home and work phone numbers have not changed. So while I'm cautiously pleased to see an update, I'm also very hesitant to purchase. I hope I'm being overly cautious, but I definitely do not recommend a purchase at this point based on history.
Meanwhile, at first glance, the software recognized my ActiveHome Pro but so far hasn't allowed me to create a schedule for it...which is the only reason I would ever consider purchasing the software. Keeping a Mac running to operate a device schedule is way overkill!
On the other side of the coin, it's nice to see that TH2 can import schedules from its ancient ancestor (as well as from Indigo and CP290 Director X). But if they really want future business, they should import schedules from that crappy ActiveHome Pro Windoze software I had to use under Parallels Desktop. It's incredibly kludgy, full of adware (and possibly spyware), and the schedules it uploaded to my device don't come anywhere close to the schedules I created!

I have been using Thinking Home for years...started using it on an old Mac Color Classic. Thinking Home worked when I moved to a PowerPC and their OSX version worked when it was time to move forward. Now that I am starting to use CF blubs and moving away from Active Home, Thinking Home has once again stepped up and works great in 10.5.2.
Thinking Home just plain works and is very simple to use.
