  1. 1. It appears that you must have a Windows PC in order to initially program the CM11 and possibly send signals to the CM11. It relies on proprietary software and I wanted this as open sourced as possible. With the arduino communicating with a webserver on my network everything besides the communications between the x10 modules is open source.My hope is to have eventually have a cheap openwrt running the web app to make the total cost of the project under $100. Having everything opensourced gives me almost infinitely more possibilities. For example, if I wanted to add RFID access to my garage I could do that more simple with this setup than using a unit the CM11. 2. I do not necessarily understand your question. I am essentially controlling the modules over wifi, because I can use any device attached to my network to conrol the x10 modules. But the modules receive their signals over the electrical wires, but the signals get sent from a webserver that is connected to the network. This was the least expensive and most stable solution. I do not know of a pure wifi solution to controlling x10 or how practical that would be.
  2. My next step/goal for this project is to try to reduce the cost, size, and complexity. I am currently running the web server on an old laptop running ubuntu. This requires more power than is necessary and takes up more room than necessary.I want to try to make this project smaller so I am looking into using a router running OpenWrt. I have already ordered the Atheros AR9331 SoC, which is the same router used to create the WiFi Pineapple Mark IV. In the first stage of this project. I used a full size arduino board. To try and shrink the overall size of this project I am going to try to use a Teensy board. Any thoughts?
  3. Check out my home automation project using a LAMP stack, an arduino, and x10 modules. The project featured on TheNewTech.tv - http://thenewtech.tv/community/arduinox10-home-automation-over-wifi All the source code for this project can be found over at Github - https://github.com/jfurcean/House-Control Questions?
