Design your own home automation systems using the Arduino platform!
Written by Arduino & home automation expert Marco Schwartz, Home Automation with Arduino is a complete guide to start building your own home automation systems based on the Arduino platform. By using this book, you will learn how to automate your home using DIY home automation systems. The book was also written so it can inspire you to get your own ideas and start designing & building your own home automation systems.
- Build alarm systems based on Arduino
- Make a Bluetooth weather station and monitor it remotely
- Build a WiFi smart power switch and control home appliances
- Control your all your home automation devices from a central interface
Home Automation with Arduino Automate your Home using OpenSource Hardware Marco Schwartz eBook
This book lays out how you can get your Arduino and your computer/internet working together to control and read sensors.Each chapter has code examples you can repeat. It would be nice to have them downloadable, but re-typing does help you learn.
The introduction of Python is an interesting twist to using only Processing for the Arduino, and a necessary one in order to communicate with your Arduino from your computer and ultimately the internet.
The Python is really the only reason I did not give it 5 stars. I know it is a necessary component in order to get everything to work, and Marco does a good job in giving you resources to work with and install Python. But as a complete newbie to Python, I had trouble installing and understanding the most rudimentary operations of Python. I eventually found a tutorial on Adafruit that helped me to install Python on my computer. A little more hand holding thru installing, coding and using an ide would be more than helpful even though it's really somewhat out of the scope of the book.
I especially enjoyed how to actually manufacture your own PCB, and the whole process Marco takes you on was logical and progressive with easy to follow code samples, and careful annotation about what each line does.

Home Automation with Arduino Automate your Home using OpenSource Hardware Marco Schwartz eBook Reviews
Great introduction to home automation tools. The things I found most interesting in this book are
- how to send commands from the pc using the serial port and python
- how to reduce the power consumption of the boards
- how to design your own shields
Next step is to understand wireless network of sensors
Could provide a little more detail of how the electronics function and values must be calculated/determined for a given project. Otherwise if all you want to do is make the project work without fully understanding how it works, this is a good book.
Very good book that had everything I was looking for in terms of home automation and arduino basics. Be ware that you do need to have some coding knowledge before being able to "read" the commands.
Marco has captured the very core of what open sourcing and prototyping is all about. His instructions are accurate and straight forward. Anyone with an interest in automation, security and energy efficiency can gain practical usable knowledge and skill from Marco's examples. A must read for every smart DIY homeowner. Highly recommended reading!
Home Automation with Arduino is a useful book describing how to use a Arduino with Python to create projects to automate your home. It provides useful code and good descriptions how the code works and which Python packages are useful. The code is written to run on a Mac computer so there are minor changes which need to be made to use on Windows or linux computers. Documentation for PySerial (one of the Python packages used in the programs) should provide the details needed to convert the programs in Windows or Linux.
Some of the code can be downloaded from other websites, but the coherent explanations are useful.
Overall enjoyed this book although it may be difficult to follow, for beginners, in the latter chapters as details are skipped. Up to the those chapters this book really does a great job guiding a reader through the steps of setting up some simple circuits that can lead to much more complex projects. I particularly enjoyed the chapter that guides the reader through setting up a real-time web monitoring system -- highly valuable in my opinion.
Billed as a book for beginners, the book starts off doing a great job and really covers a lot of topics. Unfortunately the book fails in two respects to continue teaching beginners the basics. First, it leaps from beginner topics to advanced without any bridge, this is especially evident with some of the schematics that aren't explained and are a little difficult to follow. Secondly, the book refers to some electronic components that are not available through the links provided on their website and are difficult to find in general with no mention of replacement parts.
Overall, even if this book makes a leap to far for some, the parts that are manageable are great. I would recommend keeping this book in your library to refer back to when your skills improve as well as using as a primer for beginners.
Very simple approach. It's mostly a getting started book the readers will have to take these methods to the next level, but he tells you how to rig things up and here is the code. Sort of cook book style.
The code is simple enough and because he uses libraries for some of the functions you can pretty easily find more info on the web about it.
I decided to write my computer code in mono instead of python and was still very easy to follow along and convert.
Just keep in mind it's not going to tell you exactly how to rig your house up for automation. It's just the starting points for you to expand upon.
