Overview of this book

Raspberry Pi 3 Home Automation Projects addresses the challenge of applying real-world projects to automate your house using Raspberry Pi 3 and Arduino. You will learn how to customize and program the Raspberry Pi 3 and Arduino-based boards in several home automation projects around your house. This book aims to help you integrate different microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, Particle Photon and Raspberry Pi 3 into the real world, taking the best of these boards to develop some exciting home automation projects. We will start with an interesting project creating a Raspberry Pi Powered smart mirror and move on to Automated Gardening System, which will help you build a simple smart gardening to keep your garden healthy with minimal effort. You will also learn to build projects such as CheerLights into a holiday display, a project to erase parking headaches with OpenCV and Raspberry Pi 3, create Netfl ix's "The Switch" for the living room and lock down your house like Fort Knox with a Windows IoT face recognition-based door lock system. By the end of the book, you will be able to build and automate the living space with intriguing IoT projects and bring a new degree of inter connectivity to your world.

Future ideas for projects

For future projects and when talking about IoT projects, in this section, we will show how we can develop an automatic system. To implement this, we will see the following diagram:

According to the following architecture, we will explain the steps that the system will perform and how it can be integrated into future ideas and projects using wireless devices and can be applied to real situations:

  • The main brain of the system is still the Particle Photon; it connects to a wireless network.
  • It connects to an access point built with an ESP8266, and it can be implemented with this feature. Some of the commercial products have a wireless module inside; in this case, we can develop our own device in order to connect other devices with a small device.
  • The device nodes are configured as clients; in their pins, we configure and install a relay module, as shown...
