"With futuristic homes on the rise, learn to control and automate
the living space with intriguing IoT projects." About This Book *
Build exciting (six) end-to-end home automation projects with
Raspberry Pi 3, * Seamlessly communicate and control your existing
devices and build your own home automation system, * Automate tasks
in your home through projects that are reliable and fun Who This
Book Is For This book is for all those who are excited about
building home automation systems with Raspberry Pi 3. It's also for
electronic hobbyists and developers with some knowledge of
electronics and programming. What You Will Learn * Integrate
different embedded microcontrollers and development boards like
Arduino, ESP8266, Particle Photon and Raspberry Pi 3, creating real
life solutions for day to day tasks and home automation * Create
your own magic mirror that lights up with useful information as you
walk up to it * Create a system that intelligently decides when to
water your garden and then goes ahead and waters it for you * Use
the Wi-fi enabled Adafruit ESP8266 Huzzah to create your own
networked festive display lights * Create a simple machine learning
application and build a parking automation system using Raspberry
Pi * Learn how to work with AWS cloud services and connect your
home automation to the cloud * Learn how to work with Windows IoT
in Raspberry Pi 3 and build your own Windows IoT Face Recognition
door locking system In Detail Raspberry Pi 3 Home Automation
Projects addresses the challenge of applying real-world projects to
automate your house using Raspberry Pi 3 and Arduino. You will
learn how to customize and program the Raspberry Pi 3 and
Arduino-based boards in several home automation projects around
your house, in order to develop home devices that will really
rejuvenate your home. This book aims to help you integrate
different microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP8266 Wi-Fi module,
Particle Photon and Raspberry Pi 3 into the real world, taking the
best of these boards to develop some exciting home automation
projects. You will be able to use these projects in everyday tasks,
thus making life easier and comfortable. We will start with an
interesting project creating a Raspberry Pi-Powered smart mirror
and move on to Automated Gardening System, which will help you
build a simple smart gardening system with plant-sensor devices and
Arduino to keep your garden healthy with minimal effort. You will
also learn to build projects such as CheerLights into a holiday
display, a project to erase parking headaches with OpenCV and
Raspberry Pi 3, create Netflix's "The Switch" for the living room
and lock down your house like Fort Knox with a Windows IoT face
recognition-based door lock system. By the end of the book, you
will be able to build and automate the living space with intriguing
IoT projects and bring a new degree of interconnectivity to your
world. Style and approach End to end home automation projects with
Raspberry Pi 3.
Leverage the cheapest and smallest computer to build exciting
wearable-tech projects. About This Book * A practical and
imaginative guide that exposes you to amazing wearable-tech
projects * Create our own heart-rate monitor device and cool
projects such as a Tweet-activated LED T-shirt * A practical guide
packed with real-world, useful wearable-tech projects Who This Book
Is For Everyone. While some prior knowledge of Python programming
and use of the terminal on the Raspberry Pi would be advantageous,
they are by no means necessary. Each chapter clearly sets the steps
to be taken on your wearable-tech adventure. The first chapter
assumes no prior knowledge to get your Pi Zero and you, up and
running. The complexity of the electronic devices used, progress
incrementally as you work through the chapters; there are clear
steps to follow and pictures to help you at every turn along the
way. What You Will Learn * Make use of your Raspberry Pi Zero to
create wearable-tech projects * Interface with electronic devices
and use Python to control them; incorporate these into real-world,
practical, wearable-tech projects * Add LED devices to clothing and
connect them to your Pi Zero * Change how LEDs react based upon
your movement or messages sent through Twitter * Create a pedometer
and heart rate monitor * Create your own GPS tracker In Detail With
Wearable-Tech Projects with the Raspberry Pi Zero, you will begin
with learning how to install the required software for your
upcoming projects. You will also learn how to control electronic
devices with the GPIOZero Python library. Next, you will be
creating some stylish wearable-tech projects such as a
motion-reactive LED cap and a Tweet-activated LED T-shirt. Toward
the end of the book, you will be creating some useful health and
fitness wearable-tech projects; these will help you monitor your
heart rate, track your movements with GPS, and count your footsteps
with your own pedometer. By the end of the book, you will have
created a range of wearable-tech projects and learned enough about
your Raspberry Pi Zero that you should be able to adapt these
projects further or come up with your own creations! Style and
approach This book showcases interesting and cool projects that use
the Raspberry Pi Zero in wearable-tech. This book is for readers
who are looking to progress to the next level of integrating
hardware into their projects. Upon completion of each project, you
will have a functional device that can be worn either to enhance
your style or to provide you with practical data.
