Edit: I've decided that this really doesn't fit on my "shop" page. So, all future posts about home automation will be posted on this page: Don's Home Automation
Last night, while fighting off a cold, I worked on an X-10 interface for the CM11A, and it finally works. So, now I can use the PC to turn on and off lights and other devices. I have yet to weave it into my main home automation program, but the hard work is now done.
Current interfaces for the Weeder W800RF and the CM11A are working. I think the CM17 (aka The Bottlerocket) will probably be next - but I want to make it part of the CM11A interface, so that both the CM11A and the CM17 are on the same port.
For those who don't know: The CM11A sends/receives commands through the power lines, while the W800RF receives wireless signals and imports them into the PC. The CM17 is the opposite of the W800RF, it takes commands from the computer and creates wireless signals to control X10 devices.
