I don't know their current policy but Smarthome only released low level
programming details to registered developers. It cost about $200 to become a
registered developer and there was an extremely restrictive non-disclosure
clause preventing registered developers from divulging ANY programming
details.

Where did you learn how to send/receive real-time X-10 commands? Perhaps you
can get these other details there. Otherwise, your best bet is to run the
Smarthome software and use a USB Sniffer program to examine the data - you
did say you like a challenge.
