I don't think the Miracle controller has ever materialized.  People on the 
HomeSeer board have been less than pleased with iAutomate.  The web page 
says "This Item begins shipping in mid-April 2007. Pre-Order this Item and 
We'll Ship It Free !".  Without the Miracle controller, the receiver 
protocol is pretty bad and/or proprietary or something useless, so I hear.

For a MUCH more economical option, you may wish to consider the CheaperRFID 
stuff at http://wingsnwakes.com/  The protocol is dead simple.

I haven't used either one,
Wayne
