For those who can work with Arduino (ESP8266) Here is a way to control X10 (CM17A) with Alexa.

Yes, the Arduino has a serial port, but it is not used for the CM17A. The CM17A uses the RTS and DTR lines for input.

To clarify, you're not using an Arduino+ESP8266 but an ESP8266 on its own.
-
Yup, just the ESP (which also has a Serial port). Sorry about using "Arduino" to describe this. (I use the Arduino IDE to program the ESP.)

I understood but many of
the other my fellow dotards here possibly did not.
Should there be an API for the WM100 (X10 WiFi unit) an Arduino+ESP8266, standalone ESP8266 or RPi might all be able to communicate with it.
