The first magazine devoted entirely to do-it-yourself technology
projects presents its 30th quarterly edition for people who like to
tweak, disassemble, recreate, and invent cool new uses for technology.
Until recently, home automation was an unfulfilled promise -- systems
were gimmicky, finicky, user-hostile, or potentially unsecure. But
today, thanks to a new crop of devices and technologies, home automation
is useful, fun, and maker-friendly. Using smartphones, wireless
networks, the internet, simple microcontrollers, and even gesture
recognition, DIY-style Smart Homes can now do everything promised and
more, for much less -- and MAKE shows you how in Volume 30.
