Smart buildings for electronics enthusiasts!

Arduino is a platform thanks to which the construction of advanced electronic systems has become very simple and pleasant. You do not have to create complicated layout designs, perform a lot of calculations and solve problems. All you have to do is get an Arduino tile and start to create the layout of your dreams. If you've dreamed of a smart home and you feel like doing it yourself, know that thanks to this book and the Arduino platform it is possible!

Reach for this guide and see how to implement various practical projects. A wireless motion detector, a thermometer or an energy meter are just some of them. If you would like to control the building's lighting using mobile devices or build your own weather station , you will also find something for yourself, because the book contains clear descriptions of the implementation of such projects. At the end you will learn how to process factory devices, test the system based on Arduino and prepare the housing of your device. This book is an excellent reading for all enthusiasts of electronics who want to realize new, exciting projects!

From this book you will learn:

• connect the sensors to the Arduino board,
• build energy-saving motion sensors with the use of XBee technology,
• connect relays with the Arduino board to control electrical devices,
• use Wi-Fi connectivity to control home lighting,
• perform remote temperature measurements via the Arduino platform and Bluetooth connectivity,
• send data on electricity consumption to the cloud computing,
• convert factory home automation devices by installing Arduino tiles in them.

Who is this book for?

If you want to build your own home automation systems using the Arduino platform, this book is for you. To understand the projects described in it, you must already have some knowledge about Arduino and know the rules of programming in languages such as C and C ++.
