X10MMS is a Linux-compatible software suite for the X10 CM19A USB home automation transceiver. It offers full support and a range of features to streamline home automation.
One thing you should be aware of is that there are two main versions of X10MMS available. The older version was built using libusb and can be somewhat difficult to work with, while the newer version is implemented as a kernel module and is much more reliable. However, this newer version requires an up-to-date 2.6.x kernel to function properly.
Regardless of which version you choose to use, X10MMS makes it easy to control your home automation devices. For example, x10mms launches an instance of XMMS and lets you control its operation using a CR12A or CR14A remote control. And since the program is fully configurable, you can assign any supported function to any toggle key on the remote.
Behind the scenes, the code used in both versions of X10MMS is based on some sample code provided by Neil Cherry over at the LinuxHA project. While the program has undergone some changes, the existing command syntax has been retained and even extended.
Overall, X10MMS is a solid choice for Linux users looking for a user-friendly way to control their home automation devices. With its straightforward text file configuration and support for a wide range of commands, it offers plenty of versatility and functionality for users at all experience levels.
