In this chapter, we learnt how web servers work to setup our own home automation system where an AC bulb is controlled from any place around the world via the Internet. In the process of building it we learnt how to set up a web server on a BeagleBone board using a Python-Flask web framework. Then we also learnt how to interface an AC circuit with a BeagleBone board using a relay circuit to control an AC bulb via the web server running on the BeagleBone board. In this way, you have built an advanced Internet of Things project in this chapter. In the next chapter, we will be looking at how to interface a camera with the BeagleBone Black and work with OpenCV for image processing on BeagleBone Black.

Overview of this book
BeagleBone is a low cost, community-supported development platform to develop a variety of electronic projects. This book will introduce you to BeagleBone and get you building fun, cool, and innovative projects with it. Start with the specifications of BeagleBone Black and its operating systems, then get to grips with the GPIOs available in BeagleBone Black. Work through four types of exciting projects: building real-time physical computing systems, home automation, image processing for a security system, and building your own tele-controlled robot and learn the fundamentals of a variety of projects in a single book.
By the end of this book, you will be able to write code for BeagleBone in order to operate hardware and impart decision-making capabilities with the help of efficient coding in Python.
