1.1 Who is this Book for?

This book shows how to take home automation to the next level, using state of the art technologies such as tablets, smartphones, and the Internet in conjunction with the latest wireline and wireless home automation standards. It has been written for anyone who wants to use smartphone control to automate a building or a residential home. Expecting no specific know-how upfront, it is suited for both the technology loving hobbyist as well as the professional consultant. Technologies and platforms which are used in the projects described in the book are:

Wi-Fi / WLAN

Telnet, HTTP, TCP/IP

Z-Wave

ZigBee

KNX

Drools (an open source object oriented rule engine)

OpenRemote (an open source building automation platform)

Operating systems: Mac OS X / Linux / Windows

Parts of the projects integrate consumer electronics devices, such as audio equipment from Denon and Marantz. However, projects and instructions are designed so that that they can easily be adapted to other manufacturers. Be aware, however, that equipment which is more than two or three years old probably will lack the required interfaces for home automation integration at the level which is being covered in this book, such as built in WLAN, Bluetooth, Web server components, or "Wake-on-LAN" functionality.

After explaining the big picture and the key concepts of state of the art home automation, the book will walk you in a step-by-step manner through the implementation of several essential home automation and control projects. At the end of each project phase you should have a real, working solution on your desk, which can be further customized and expanded as desired. No programming skills are required as prerequisite. Scripts and configurations are explained line by line. Of course, if you have never written a short automation script or configured a DSL router, at some point your learning curve will be steeper than that of others. However, everything you learn will be open standard based, essential technologies, which you will be able to utilize in any other IT related project.
