I don't think we have the Stargate coded with an X10 status command.  Works
ok with a CM11.  If the Stargate  supports it, it should be pretty easy to
add.

Yep, thats the idea.  Various supported controlers are listed in
mh/doc/mh.*.  Some controlers may not have all its features supported yet
(I'm not sure about the Stargate ... I don't know how many Stargate users we
have out there).
