I would recommend using a universal remote... you should also set up a way to have your heat, cooling, and lighting preferences dialed in so that when you get home, your house is allready at your temperature. You could also set your appliances up in such a way that it will do things like washing your dishes and cleaning your cloths fairly autonomously. Set these up so that they can be accessed from your macs remotely... and your all set.
