X10 sensors

[truckdude1 (Ralph Williams)]

I used x10 for a long time and finnaly got rid of it but found 10 or so motion sensors in dr out dr gray ones. Somewhere I read people using x10 part with STs. Does anyone know if I can use them with my hub. I even found a barking dog box. Hit sensors it starts barking. Being in and out dr would save me money

X10 Remotes & Sensors with Smartthings using mochad

Update [Jan-28-2018] This solution was fairly complex to deploy and maintain - I have published another solution: Summary X10 remotes, security devices, motion sensors are dirt cheap and I have a boatload of them. Looking around couldn’t find anything to use them with SmartThings. Mochad is a very stable and widely used deamon process can run on any linux system including Raspberry PI and uses CM15A or CM19A USB devices to communicate with X-10 over RF or powerline. Using this devices you are limited to a single house code, you can use any of the 15 house code with any remote or sensor and make interesting combinations. https://bfocht.github.io/mochad/ https://bfocht.github.io/mochad/mochad_reference.html I have developed a small nodejs script that talks to mochad and invokes RES…

I have been trying for two months to make a stable x10 hub and devices though various hardware such a JDS Stargate’s WebXpander. All have failed the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) for simplicity. With 40 some odd x10 devices that have been working for over 20 years I have decided to do a room by room replacement replicating all the functionality. Trying to get all the status, and other features mapped into SmartThings just was too time consuming for me along with the Rube Goldberg devices that make the configuration work.

Others have gotten various implementation that are working for them but based on where SmartThings is going with losing sockets and now local web services with a cloud drivers though local gateways ease and stability are key but complexities are way to failure prone.

I hear you on all the complex X-10 integrations, simplicity was one of my goals. Have a look at my solution - it’s all local no Rube Goldberg stuff one hop above the x-10 controller.
@truckdude1 The one in the link above still works and is somewhat simpler. But if you want a full solution try this

[UPDATED] Node Red Bridge for X-10 Devices (Switches, Modules, Remotes, Sensors and Security Modules)

Summary This solution allows 2-way communication between SmartThings and X-10 devices using Node Red and Mochad. You can control your X-10 devices from within ST and use various automation solutions within ST. You can also use X-10 remotes and motion sensors to control other ST devices. X-10 equipment is fairly inexpensive and readily available on E-Bay etc. Almost all X-10 is supported now with the exception of security consoles. Security consoles are X-10 controllers and the SmartThings hub is meant to replace its functions. I have tried a few different ways of integrating X-10 devices with SmartThings, but every solution required tinkering and making changes outside the ST applications making maintenance difficult. In this solution all X-10 settings and device mappings are done…

Does require a little familiarity with Linux and raspberry pi, but not a lot. Status has been spot on for me - the only thing weird is dimming status and given the nature of X-10, there is no way to get the levels to work accurately.

I have almost all types of X-10 devices working.
