X10-Echo

PHP code used in my Amazon Echo X10 Home Control tutorial. It is meant to be run on a Raspberry Pi, and interfaces with HEYU. This is intended to be used with BWS System's ha-bridge to provide an Amazon Echo - X10 interface.

This file provides on/off/dim X10 capability from both a URL or by voice command using an Amazon Echo.
