In +addition to controlling the x10 devices, it can receive commands sent to the +x10 devices from other sources such as an x10 remote transceiver and execute +commands on your system in response. + +The virtue of ppower is that it is designed to run as a daemon at all times, +keeping track of the status of the X10 system, taking action on events, +queueing requests, and providing information on the events it is receiving to +any interested clients. |
