What is Linux X10 universal device driver FOR LINUX?

Linux X10 Universal Device Driver

Linux X10 universal device driver, also called Project WiSH, makes it super easy to connect to an X10 network. It does this by using a mix of Linux kernel modules and daemons, giving you a clean /dev interface.

What Can You Do with Linux X10?

This driver is all about giving you a standard way to control your smart home devices. Whether you're using shell scripts like cat and echo, or writing in Perl, C, or Java, you can manage your X10 devices smoothly. You can even go from simple tasks to more complex automation projects without worrying about what transceiver you're using!

Getting Started with Shell Scripts

The easiest way to use this driver is through shell scripts. The package comes with some handy examples that show you how it's done. Plus, the project currently supports three types of X10 transceivers: PowerLinc Serial, PowerLinc USB, and CM11A.
