How to use native Mochad with CM15pro ??
Posted: Sunday 11 December 2016 22:43
I am trying to get my domoticz system with my existing X10 devices through my CM15Pro.
So i followed the wii page (http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/X10_devices,_CM15_Pro) and installed mochad. Which works fine. I can turn my devices on/off through the command line with mochad.
Next step and issue was to have mochad autostart using the rc.local Which does not seem to work. My /var/log/messages shows mochad starting and get terminated again for unknow reasons. So i left that for the moment and started mochad by hand. Like i said, works fine..
The the wiki page states :

Note: What follows works, but it is probably better to use the native support for Mochad now available. Click on Setup / Hardware, name the hardware ('Mochad' for example) and set the type to Mochad CM15Pro/CM19A bridge with LAN interface. Then click on Switches and you can use the Learn Light/Switch button to add X10 devices.[/quote
Which i did.. But sadly i cant get anything to work. How can i have domoticz learn about switches ? These are one-way, they receive only. Nothing to be learned. The learn button asks me to press a button on the remote, which i do not have.
So i tried adding the switches manualy, which requires my to configure the hardware to use. My X10/mochad device does not show up in the list.
I added a dummy device to be used, then configured a switch with the correct house code an device id.. but this does not work..
IS there anyony here that can tell me how to use the "native" mochad support in domoticz ? or should i revert back to the "old" way still present in the wiki pages ? This would require configuring each switch and device manualy into the domoticz_main script.
