X10 working! Requires about $115 in hardware, but is fully self-contained!

So I have x10 working back and forth with SmartThings. First, I’ll tell you what it requires… Netduino board… $40 Rs232 shield… $11 Cm11a x10 interface… $30 SmartThings shield… $35 To build it, you just stack the rs232 on top of the Netduino, and the smartthings shield on top of the rs232 shield. Plug the cm11a into the rs232 shield and an outlet, and your hardware is ready. For the software, the Netduino has to have the custom app I wrote loaded. To get it working, you join the shield to SmartThings (it will look like a switch), and then you use one of two smartapps I wrote. The first smartapp lets you send an x10 command when a switch or contact sensor is activated. The second smartapp lets you turn a switch on or off when a certain x10 command is received. I know that sounds…
