The `mochad` integration is the main integration to integrate all X10 platforms being controlled by [mochad](https://sourceforge.net/projects/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](#light)
- [Switch](#switch)
## Configuration
To integrate your Mochad units with Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# 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:
```yaml
# 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](#configuration) and then add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# 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](#configuration) and then add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# 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 %}
