Has anyone tried compiling the new mochad linux device driver on the vera? The author claims he has it running on three different openwrt devices so I expect it shouldn’t be too hard. It supports the CM15A (RF+PL) and the CM19A (RF) x10 interfaces. I would think that it would be pretty easy then to interface this with Vera via Luup.
I just jumped on the z-wave bandwagon thanks to the big sale at radio shack. I am 98% sure I will be picking up a vera in the very near future. It looks like a great product and I really like the fact that it is open. My only other experience with home automation was when I messed with x-10 some time ago in grad school. I had a roommate with quite a bit of it. I’m been planning on getting into this for a while and finally have my own house and the time and money to purse it.
I think z-wave is a better technology, but want to supplement my installation with some x10 devices. For instance, I want to control my sprinkler system, which looks easy (and dirt cheap!) with the x10 PUM01, but I’m not sure if anything compatible is out for z-wave. I just ordered a CM15A, and I have a few routers capable of running openwrt lying around so I’ll probably start looking into this myself.
X10 support certainly isn’t a deal breaker for me, but I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty with this code myself either. Just curious if anyone else has looked into this, or if there is any good reason this shouldn’t work. For that matter, is anyone else interested in case I figure this out first?
