Mochad
mochad
The Mochad integration is the main integration to integrate all X10 platforms being controlled by mochad. Besides this integration you will have to set up your X10 devices separately.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
