Domoticz X10 plugin (based on Mochad)

Untill now i integrated my CM15Pro by using Homegenie as an adapter for X10. From Domoticz I was sending HTTP-commands to Homegenie. The reason for this was that:

• Dimming was not supported by the Domoticz-X10 Mochad plugin
• Mochad sometimes hangs

Therefore I created a plugin which solves this.

Requirements

• Only tested on Raspberry PI 2 (Should work on all platforms)
• For Mochad restarting to work a Linux platform is needed with pkill installed

Key features

• Direct integratrion with Mochad
• Dimming support
• Will create devices when detected (easy to by sending command: echo "pl a1 on | nc localhost 1099")
• Will check Domoticz <-> Mochad <-> X10-unit (CM15) connectivity on heartbeat
• Optionally restarts Mochad when the Mochad-command is specified in the configuration

Installation

• Currently the beta-version of Domoticz has the plugin-functionality enabled, so this is needed
• Create a directory under /plugins/ named X10_mochad for example
• Put the plugin.py in that directory
• Restart Domoticz

Configuration

• In Domoticz the hardware can be added
• See configuration options in the hardware-config
