X10 Decoder

Introduction

This is a protocol decoder for the Flipper Zero to decode the X10 series of devices when doing a read from the Sub-GHz menu.

Validation

NOTE: As an Amazon Associate I (CodeAllNight) earn from qualifying purchases from the amzn.to links below.

The code was tested with the "X10 Camera Control System Remote Control Model CR12A" which you can purchase from https://amzn.to/3issZPs and should also be compatible with signals from https://amzn.to/3QEF7cM

The receiver I used is no longer for sale, but a similar module can be purchased from https://amzn.to/3CFWy6M

The House (Channel) is A-P setting. The Unit (Button) is 1-16 setting (slider switches between 1-8 and 9-16). The signal is "On" or "Off". For each channel there is also a "Dim" or "Bright".

The signal is broadcast at 310MHz with a modulation of AM650.

Installation Directions

This project is intended to be overlayed on top of an existing firmware repo.

  • Clone, Build & Deploy an existing flipper zero firmware repo. See this tutorial for updating firmware.
  • Add the x10.c file to the \lib\subghz\protocols folder
  • Add the x10.h file to the \lib\subghz\protocols folder
  • Update the \lib\subghz\protocols\protocol_items.h file
    • After all of the other #include statements add the following line:
    #include "x10.h"
    
  • Update the \lib\subghz\protocols\protocol_items.c file
    • After all of the other &subghz_protocol_{name}, entries add the following:
      &subghz_protocol_x10,
    
  • NOTE: Your updated files should look similar to the protocol_items.c and protocol_items.h in this project.
  • Build the firmware
  • Deploy the firmware
