The mochad {% term integration %} is the main integration to integrate all X10 platforms being controlled by mochad. Besides this integration you will have to setup your X10 devices separately.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

• Light
• Switch

Configuration

To integrate your Mochad units with Home Assistant, add the following section to your {% term "configuration.yaml" %} file. {% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}

# Example configuration.yaml entry
mochad:

{% configuration %} host: description: The host that mochad is running on. required: false type: string default: localhost port: description: The port that mochad is running on. required: false type: integer default: 1099 {% endconfiguration %}

Example

A full configuration sample could look like the one below:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
mochad:
  host: localhost
  port: 1099

Light

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 integration and then add the following to your {% term "configuration.yaml" %} file:

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

{% configuration %} address: description: The X10 address of the light. required: true type: string name: description: The name of the light. required: false default: x10_light_dev_address type: string comm_type: description: pl (powerline) or rf (radio frequency). required: false default: pl type: string brightness_levels: description: 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). required: false default: 32 type: integer {% endconfiguration %}

Switch

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

To enable this sensor, you first have to set up the mochad integration and then add the following to your {% term "configuration.yaml" %} file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: mochad
    devices:
      - address: a1
      - address: a5

{% configuration %} address: description: The X10 address of the switch. required: true type: string name: description: The name of the switch. required: false default: x10_switch_dev_address type: string comm_type: description: pl (powerline) or rf (radio frequency). required: false default: pl type: string {% endconfiguration %}
