Discover easy ways to control your home with the powerful new Raspberry
Pi hardware. Program short Python scripts that will detect changes in
your home and react with the instructions you code. Use new add-on
accessories to monitor a variety of measurements, from light intensity
and temperature to motion detection and water leakage. Expand the base
projects with your own custom additions to perfectly match your own home
setup. Most projects in the book can be completed in under an hour,
giving you more time to enjoy and tweak your autonomous creations. No
breadboard or electronics knowledge required!
Get to know the latest Raspberry Pi hardware, and create awesome
automation solutions for home or work that don't require an electronics
degree, cumbersome add-ons, or expensive third-party subscription
services. Create easy to run Python scripts on your own that make your
Pi do things that would have required a team of automation experts to
build only a few years ago.
Connect to and control popular home automation lighting systems from a
Raspberry Pi. Trigger autonomous actions based on movement, temperature,
and timer events. Power on your own computer and appliances using your
voice. Remotely control infrared-enabled consumer electronics, create
chatbots to retrieve personalized items of interest, and implement a
temperature-monitoring room fan. These are just some of the projects
that the book will show you how to make. Most projects can be completed
and operational in under an hour, and do not require any messy
schematics or a spaghetti bowl of wires and breadboard-attached circuits
to operate.
Control your home or office exactly the way you want instead of relying
on an expensive mysterious box of third-party technology to do it for
you.
