Indigo was developed from the ground up to be a robust, Mac OS X native, home control server. Mac OS X, with its preemptive multi-tasking and protected memory, makes for an outstanding home control operating system. When idle, Indigo uses a very small percentage of your computer's CPU cycles. This means you will not have any problems running Indigo in the background while you use your computer to do other tasks.
Indigo's client/server architecture allows remote control and configuration from any local or remote location that has network access to your Mac running Indigo. The server supports local network access through a native Universal Binary Mac OS client as well as web browser access provided by the Indigo server's built-in web server. The Indigo server can be installed on any Mac running OS X 10.4 or higher and can run in the background with no UI visible.
