Control X10 Lights With Alexa and Node-RED on the Raspberry Pi

Hi, next in our series about the amazing #Node-RED system running on the Raspberry #Pi single board #computer ( #SBC ), we are discussing the ability of this system to control #lighting in our home #theater.

Part 4 illustrates how we actually set up some #x10 spotlights in #Node-RED, using #Alexa and the #Broadlink hub. We started with this example because it is a simple ON/OFF condition, and we wanted to demonstrate that the BroadLink™ hub also supports our old X10 modules (315 MHz).

Here is the picture of the flow in Node-RED, same as the first blog article in this series:
