I'm doing similar things at my place with EIB (http://www.konnex.org/). We made a very simple plugin for Elisa a few months ago, that interacts with my home-control system to switch lights on and off. Just some "feasibility study", but due to the fact that Elisa and my software are using the same Python framework (Twisted) it went very, very smooth. I did some tests with X10 some years ago, but never used it actually, but an adaption will be easy. What do you use in detail to communicate with X10? > Alarm Clock [...] > the alarm clock and X11 I could do with ugly scripts, but it would be > ideal to control them through menus in elisa we did some specification for that too, which is quite similar to your feature request. What hindered an implementation at that time was the "lack" of some more (decent) UI widgets in Elisa, that make such a thing usable for an average user. But that's only a matter of time.
