Solar Solutions is a book about using clean solar energy to power
homes that are not part of the power grid. Africa, remote parts of
Australia, Asia, North and Central America have parts where the
electric wire from the power plant just is not there.

Build your own sophisticated modular home security system using the
popular Raspberry Pi board About This Book * This book guides you
through building a complete home security system with Raspberry Pi
and helps you remotely access it from a mobile device over the
Internet * It covers the fundamentals of interfacing sensors and
cameras with the Raspberry Pi so that you can connect it to the
outside world * It follows a modular approach so that you can
choose the modules and features you want for your customized home
security system Who This Book Is For This book is for anyone who is
interested in building a modular home security system from scratch
using a Raspberry Pi board, basic electronics, sensors, and simple
scripts. This book is ideal for enthusiastic novice programmers,
electronics hobbyists, and engineering professionals. It would be
great if you have some basic soldering skills in order to build
some of the interface modules. What You Will Learn * Understand the
concepts behind alarm systems and intrusion detection devices *
Connect sensors and devices to the on-board digital GPIO ports
safely * Monitor and control connected devices easily using Bash
shell scripting * Build an I/O port expander using the I2C bus and
connect sensors and anti-tamper circuits * Capture and store images
using motion detectors and cameras * Access and manage your system
remotely from your mobile phone * Receive intrusion alerts and
images through your e-mail * Build a sophisticated multi-zone alarm
system In Detail The Raspberry Pi is a powerful low-cost
credit-card-sized computer, which lends itself perfectly as the
controller for a sophisticated home security system. Using the
on-board interfaces available, the Raspberry Pi can be expanded to
allow the connection of a virtually infinite number of security
sensors and devices. The Raspberry Pi has the processing power and
interfaces available to build a sophisticated home security system
but at a fraction of the cost of commercially available systems.
Building a Home Security System with Raspberry Pi starts off by
showing you the Raspberry Pi and how to set up the Linux-based
operating system. It then guides you through connecting switch
sensors and LEDs to the native GPIO connector safely, and how to
access them using simple Bash scripts. As you dive further in,
you'll learn how to build an input/output expansion board using the
I2C interface and power supply, allowing the connection of the
large number of sensors needed for a typical home security setup.
In the later chapters of the book, we'll look at more sophisticated
topics such as adding cameras, remotely accessing the system using
your mobile phone, receiving intrusion alerts and images by e-mail,
and more. By the end of the book, you will be well-versed with the
use of Raspberry Pi to power a home-based security system that
sends message alerts whenever it is triggered and will be able to
build a truly sophisticated and modular home security system. You
will also gain a good understanding of Raspberry Pi's ecosystem and
be able to write the functions required for a security system.
Style and approach This easy-to-follow guide comprises a series of
projects, where every chapter introduces a new concept and at the
end of the book, all these concepts are brought together to create
an entire home security system. This book features clear diagrams
and code every step of the way.
Window is a transparent opening in a wall or door that allows light
to enter, and if not closed or sealed, air and sound. Windows are
usually made of glass applied to the frame. A sparkling window is
the desire of all. Clean shiny windows, add a bright new look to
