BottleRocket
BottleRocket is a command-line utility to interact with the
Firecracker version of
X10's home control devices (wireless home automation to control lights,
cameras, appliances via a small transmitter that plugs into the
standard RS-232 serial port of a computer).
The FireCracker kit consists of a small RF transmitter
that connects to a 9-pin serial port of a PC, and a receiver that plugs
into a wall socket and intercepts the signals, passing them on
through house wiring to other units that turn appliances on/off or
dim/brighten lamps. It doesn't support any kind of 2-way
communication, unlike some of the other X10 products.
