Matthew Treinish e6688b9759 Mochad light fixes (#4214)
* Add brighness levels option to mochad

In home-assistant/home-assistant#11146 a new configuration option,
brighness_levels, is added to the mochad light component. This is used
to tell home-assistant how many brightness levels the X10 light device
supports because there is no way to actually discover this. This commit
adds documentation for the new option.

* Fix some leftover references to the switch component

The documentation for the mochad light component was mostly copy and
pasted from the mochad switch device. Since the configuration is more or
less the same between devices. However in doing this several references
to mochad switches was left in by mistake. This commit fixes these and
replaces them with the correct name of the component.

The mochad light platform lets you control an X10 enabled dimmer/light device.

To enable this sensor, you first have to set up the mochad component and then add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yml entry
light:
  - platform: mochad
    devices:
      - address: a1
      - address: a5

Configuration variables:

  • address (Required): The X10 address of the light.
  • name (Optional): The name of the light. Default is: x10_light_dev_address.
  • comm_type (Optional): pl (powerline) or rf (radio frequency). Default is pl.
  • brightness_levels (Optional): The number of brightness levels the X10 light device supports. This can either be 32, 64, or 256 (note that the max value sent to the device will be n-1 because it starts at 0)
