So much of what is commonplace today was once considered
impossible, or at least wishful thinking. Laser beams in the
operating room, cars with built-in guidance systems, cell phones
with email access. There's just no getting around the fact that
technology always has, and always will be, very cool.
But technology isn't only cool; it's also very smart. That's why
one of the hottest technological trends nowadays is the creation of
smart homes.
At an increasing rate, people are turning their homes into
state-of-the-art machines, complete with more switches, sensors,
and actuators than you can shake a stick at. Whether you want to
equip your home with motion detectors for added security, install
computer-controlled lights for optimum convenience, or even mount
an in-home web cam or two purely for entertainment, the world is
now your oyster. Ah, but like anything highly technical, creating a
smart home is typically easier said than done.
Thankfully, "Smart Home Hacks" takes the guesswork out of the
process. Through a seemingly unending array of valuable tips,
tools, and techniques, "Smart Home Hacks" explains in clear detail
how to use Mac, Windows, or Linux to achieve the automated home of
your dreams. In no time, you'll learn how to turn a loose
collection of sensors and switches into a well-automated and
well-functioning home no matter what your technical level may
be.
"Smart Home Hacks" covers a litany of stand-alone and integrated
smart home solutions designed to enhance safety, comfort, and
convenience in new and existing homes. Kitchens, bedrooms, home
offices, living rooms, and even bathrooms are all candidates for
smart automation and therefore are all addressed in"Smart Home
Hacks,"
Intelligently written by engineering guru and George Jetson
wannabe, Gordon Meyer, "Smart Home Hacks" leaves no stone unturned.
From what to purchase to how to use your remote control, it's the
ultimate guide to understanding and implementing complete or
partial home automation.
