Re: x-10 hardware documentation

[Alex Ciurea]

Hi Mark,

I know the basics of a http server because I know how to work with PHP
(still perl is probably more suitable for this application) but I don't
know
where and how the script sends the "xap-send" command.
Stuard Booth said that I need a CM12 device, connected to a serial port. Is
that the target device for the "xap-send" command?

From this point, the CM12 converts the command into x10 signal and
broadcast
it to all over mains?

And if it's like this, I need another CM12 to decode my x10 signal and to
control my device? (e.g a lamp)

Tanks alot,
Alex
