Smart Home Automation with Linux and Raspberry Pi shows you how
to automate your lights, curtains, music, and more, and control
everything via a laptop or mobile phone.
You’ll learn how to use Linux, including Linux on Raspberry Pi, to
control appliances and everything from kettles to curtains, including
how to hack game consoles and even incorporate LEGO Mindstorms into your
smart home schemes.
You’ll discover the practicalities on wiring a house in terms of both
and power and networking, along with the selection and placement of
servers. There are also explanations on handling communication to (and
from) your computer with speech, SMS, email, and web. Finally, you’ll
see how your automated appliances can collaborate to become a smart
home.
Smart Home Automation with Linux was already an excellent resource
for home automation, and in this second edition, Steven Goodwin will
show you how a house can be fully controlled by its occupants, all using
open source software and even open source hardware like Raspberry Pi
and Arduino.
