Having also some fun with Blackbox AI....requested a small function written in Python, to be a X10 toggle switch for a CM19a X10 transceiver.

Question: code a toggle switch for X10 USB transceiver cm19a

Based on the search results provided, it seems that in order to code a toggle switch for X10 USB transceiver model CM19A, you would need to use a program or script that can send X10 commands to the transceiver via a serial connection. Here are the general steps you can follow:

Install the necessary drivers and software for the CM19A transceiver. This may include setting up a serial connection to the transceiver and installing any necessary libraries or modules for your programming language.
Write a script or program that can send X10 commands to the transceiver. This may involve using a library or module that can interface with the serial connection and send X10 commands.
Define a toggle function that can send the appropriate X10 commands to turn a device on or off. For example, you might define a function that sends the "ON" command when the toggle switch is activated, and the "OFF" command when it is activated again.

Code: Select all

import serial

# Define the serial connection to the CM19A transceiver
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 19200, timeout=1)

# Define the X10 house and unit codes for the device you want to control
house_code = 'A'
unit_code = '1'

# Define the toggle function
def toggle():
    # Send the "ON" command to turn the device on
    if ser.isOpen():
        ser.write(f"{house_code}1{unit_code}ON").encode()
    else:
        print("Serial connection is closed")

# Example usage:
toggle()  # sends the "ON" command to turn the device on
toggle()  # sends the "OFF" command to turn the device off

Though somewhat helpful I use instead a driver for the CM19a written in Python that I can handle the communication with the usb module as a server and can be addressed in a script/program.
