About the Reviewer

Stefan grew up in the 1980s with the C64 and the Amiga home computers. The ambitious goal of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, bringing fun programming back to today's youth, resonated strongly with Stefan who immediately ordered his Raspberry Pi on the launch day itself. After much tinkering and learning a great deal about the unique properties of the Pi, he launched the "PiLFS" (http://www.intestinate.com/pilfs) website, which teaches readers how to build their own GNU/Linux distribution and applications that are particularly useful on the Raspberry Pi.

Preface

The world of home automation is an exciting field that has exploded over the past few years with many new technologies in both the commercial and open source worlds. This book provides a gateway for those interested in learning more about the topic and building their own projects.

With the introduction of the Raspberry Pi computer in 2012, a small and powerful tool is now available to the home automation enthusiast, programmer, and electronic hobbyist that allows them to augment their home with sensors and software.

Combining the Raspberry Pi with the power of the open source Arduino platform, this book will walk you through several projects for building electronic sensors and introduce you to software that will record this data for later use.

What this book covers

, An Introduction to the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and Home Automation , introduces you to the technologies used in this book and provides a background to the world of home automation.

, Getting Started Part 1 Setting up Your Raspberry Pi , teaches you about the Raspberry Pi and how to set it up, ready to use on your projects.

, Getting Started Part 2 Setting up Your Raspberry Pi to Arduino Bridge Shield , provides you with a guide to setting up your Raspberry Pi to Arduino bridge shield and downloading the necessary libraries.

, Our First Project A Basic Thermometer , helps you to build a thermometer and introduces you to a variety of electronic components.
