X10Port
This module is a part of the NetHomeServer. The X10Port manages the connection to the CM12-interface module via a serial port. The CM12-interface module can send and receive X10 commands over the mains wires. Recieved X10 messages are transmitted as Events over the internal NetHomeServer event bus. The X10 protocol uses separate address and function messages and the actual devices knows who is currently addressed. The X10Port hides this for outgoing messages.
