The `x10` light platform allows you to control your X10 based lights with Home Assistant.

Requires [Heyu x10](http://www.heyu.org) and a CM11A interface; the CM17A "FireCracker" interface is not supported.

To enable those lights, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
light:
  - platform: x10
    devices:
      - id: a2
      - id: a3
        name: Bedroom Lamp
```

Configuration variables:

- **id** (*Required*): Device identifier. Composed of house code und unit id.
- **name** (*Optional*): A friendly name for the device. By default *id* from the device is used.
