Control your home with Raspberry Pi! This book guides you through ways to design and implement smart home elements using a Raspberry Pi and to gain better insight and control over them.

The Raspberry Pi is a small single-board computer that can be used to integrate and control various home projects - for example lighting, heating, security, or multimedia devices. The publication explains the principles of home automation and offers inspiration for creating your own solutions according to your needs and available equipment. Concrete results (comfort, savings, or level of security) depend on the chosen design, components used, and proper configuration.

Thanks to programmability and the large Raspberry Pi community, projects can be further expanded and customized. The book is suitable for readers who want to learn the basics and practical procedures; for some chapters, at least a basic familiarity with Linux and electronics may be advantageous.
