X10 power switch

Background

I like the X10 standard for endurance testing that involves power cycling the target. The minimum starting equipment that I recommend is

• CM19A USB PC Transceiver
• TM751 transceiver module
• AM466 appliance module

You can find them fairly cheap on ebay.

Linux driver

I have tried several Linux drivers over the years. I used the python approach this time using Michael LeMay's driver.
