Ppower, short for 'Penguin Power', is a piece of UNIX software for controlling
|
|
x10 home automation equipment connected to the computer via a cm11a interface.
|
|
It can be used to turn things on and off and lights dim and bright. In
|
|
addition to controlling the x10 devices, it can receive commands sent to the
|
|
x10 devices from other sources such as an x10 remote transceiver and execute
|
|
commands on your system in response.
|
|
|
|
The virtue of ppower is that it is designed to run as a daemon at all times,
|
|
keeping track of the status of the X10 system, taking action on events,
|
|
queueing requests, and providing information on the events it is receiving to
|
|
any interested clients.
