The `mochad` switch platform lets you control an X10 enabled switch device.

To enable this sensor, you first have to set up the [mochad component](/components/mochad/) and then add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry

  - platform: mochad
    devices:
      - address: a1
      - address: a5
```

{% configuration %}
