Drivers

Actuators

• Switchable (On/Off state)
• Dimmable (Variable state)
• Generic (Used to talk to any X10 device)

Meta-modules

API Example

# Retrieve USB CM15 Device
scanner = USBScanner()
dev = scanner.findDevices()
dev.open()

# Use a single module
lamp = dev.actuator("A2")
lamp.dim(10)
lamp.off()

# Use a group
house = dev.house("B")
house.lightsOff()

More samples in tests.
