Can you tell us what kind of X10 system you have set up? It would be usefull to know what kind of X10 systems people have in use.

One problem with X10 is that even though X10 is standarded, the PC control interfaces are not, so there are several PC controller adapters used to control X10. So figuring out how Irreco should communicate to X10 is not that simple.

Also the applications that work in linux and can be used to control X10 do not have network API:s, so we would need to build some kind of Irreco X10 Server which would be used to order to those
command line controll apps around.

Do you know of any X10 controll applications that have some kind of network cabability, so you can remote control them?
