Overview of this book

This book is designed to introduce you to IoT and Raspberry Pi 3. It will help you create interesting projects, such as setting up a weather station and measuring temperature and humidity using sensors; it will also show you how to send sensor data to cloud for visualization in real-time. Then we shift our focus to leveraging IoT for accomplishing complex tasks, such as facial recognition using the Raspberry Pi camera module, AWS Rekognition, and the AWS S3 service. Furthermore, you will master security aspects by building a security surveillance system to protect your premises from intruders using Raspberry Pi, a camera, motion sensors, and AWS Cloud. We'll also create a real-world project by building a Wi-Fi – controlled robot car with Raspberry Pi using a motor driver circuit, DC motor, and a web application. This book is a must-have as it provides a practical overview of IoT’s existing architectures, communication protocols, and security threats at the software and hardware levels—security being the most important aspect of IoT.

Summary

We have reached the end of this chapter, and achieved our target by building our own weather station. On this journey, we learned how to use weather APIs to collect data from the web based on location (city or state), then we learned about temperature and humidity sensors, and also integrated these with Raspberry Pi. Finally, we learned how to use Google sheets and how to update them programmatically.

Until now, we have only seen and learned how we can interface sensors to Raspberry Pi and send data from internet to server. In Chapter 5, Controlling the Pi, we will learn how we can control any device connected to raspberry remotely.
