I have a working integration that uses mochad, a CM15a, and Home Assistant. It's a fairly complicated setup. I'm moving away from x10 devices to zigbee devices, but i still have some x10 stuff. The first thing, obviously, is to get mochad working. I've had it working for many years on an Arch Linux server, and it's pretty reliable. I don't remember how i installed it. This might be a helpful place to look: https://www.sigmdel.ca/michel/ha/domoticz/mochad_on_recent_linux_distro_en.html I integrated...

I am very new to Home Assistant and have no ideal how to install mochad. i have installed several versions of Home assistant on several different platforms. The latest was on home assitant OS on Synology VM . Installing Mochad from GitHub fails. I have tried following the Home Assistant intall instructions. I see Home Assistant can manage many devices. I am only interested on controling a X10 CM15a. Is this device too old to mess with? Thanks for any suggestions. Tom

Hello all, Thinking of how tofuture proof the installation of Mochad. I have the above working on Trixie without too much problems (THANK YOU). Does someone know how to move this into a docker container, so for future use, one just need the docker image. Unfortunately I do not know how to do this. Any hints to how-to or help greatly appreciated. Thxs Jeroen

If looking for a version of mochad that compiles with the latest build tools and that is compatible with systemd (Debian, Raspberry Pi OS, Armbian, etc.): install Steve Porter's version 0.1.21 or apply minimal patches to only two files of version 0.1.17 as explained here: Patching version 0.1.17 by mmauka.

Old discussion. Came across it bashing my head on why Mochad installation did not work on my Raspbian. Was this never merged into the mainline?

At the end of make install, I got an error with "mochad[2530]: usb_claim_interface failed LIBUSB_ERROR_BUSY". However, rebooting the Pi made it go away, and works fine. As noted, one should not unplug/plug the X10 USB dongle. If you need to do so, reboot the...

I am testing 0.1.17, and it looks like the port # (and probably listening address) are hard-coded. I would like to be able to set the port, listening interface, etc. Looking at the option parsing, I noticed it is using strcmp, which can be abused (since it's taking arbitrary user input from the command line), so it could use a security overhaul as well. I'd like to be able to contribute back any changes, that would hopefully merit a version bump, but don't know if they will be seen by the maintainer....

I bought my first pi and tried setting up an X10 controller service. mochad seems to be the most used tool for driving the CM15a (and that is what I have). It compiled easily, but hung repeatedly just using basic "echo | nc" test commands... I straced and just saw a futex loop there, not very obvious what was happening. I got some parameter length complaint when it broke with sigterm. So, I looked at the way the author was interfacing through usblib (complicated stuff!) and found this function "libusb_fill_interrupt_transfer"...
