Features
Drivers
- CM11/12 (thanks Riccardo!)
- CM15
- CM17a (Need testing!)
Actuators
- Switchable (On/Off state)
- Dimmable (Variable state)
- Generic (Used to talk to any X10 device)
Meta-modules
- House (Something like a "group" of devices)
API Example
# Retrieve USB CM15 Device
scanner = USBScanner()
dev = scanner.findDevices()
dev.open()
# Use a single module
lamp = dev.actuator("A2")
lamp.dim(10)
lamp.off()
# Use a group
house = dev.house("B")
house.lightsOff()
More samples in tests.
