Arduino Home Automation




Arduino Home Automation by Marco Schwartz


English | Aug 26, 2014 | ISBN: 1783986069 | 131 Pages | MOBI/EPUB/PDF (True) | 39 MB

With: Code Files




If you want to build your own home automation systems wirelessly using the Arduino platform, this is the book for you. You will need to have some basic experience in Arduino and general programming languages, such as C and C++ to understand the projects in this book.




Automate your home using the powerful Arduino platform




Interface home automation components with Arduino


Automate your projects to communicate wirelessly using XBee, Bluetooth and WiFi


Build seven exciting, instruction-based home automation projects with Arduino in no time




The Arduino platform is used by more than one million people around the world to prototype electronic systems. It is the perfect platform to use to build home automation systems, as it allows you to build your own motion sensors, control lamps remotely, and control preexisting home automation devices. The Arduino platform also allows you to build wireless home automation systems using well-known technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.




This book shows you how to use the Arduino tiny microboard to live like a king. The book covers several projects you can perform using the Arduino platform. The first few projects comprise the basics of home automation, such as building a wireless motion sensor, controlling a lamp remotely, and building a Bluetooth temperature sensor. Then, this book dives into the Internet of Things, helping you get a clear understanding of how to send measured data to the cloud. The book will wrap up by showing you how to communicate and control an existing device and build your own home automation system.




Connect home automation sensors to the Arduino platform


Use the XBee technology to build low-power wireless motion sensors


Interface a relay with Arduino to control devices in your home


Utilize Wi-Fi to control a lamp remotely


Employ Bluetooth and Arduino to measure the temperature remotely


Send energy consumption data to the cloud


Hack an existing home automation device using Arduino




This book is divided into projects that are explained in a step-by-step format, with practical instructions that are easy to follow.

Drives and Control for Industrial Automation




Kok Kiong Tan, "Drives and Control for Industrial Automation"


English | ISBN: 1848824246, 1447126068 | 2011 | 200 pages | PDF | 5 MB




Drives and Control for Industrial Automation presents the material necessary for an understanding of servo control in automation. Beginning with a macroscopic view of its subject, treating drives and control as parts of a single system, the book then pursues a detailed discussion of the major components of servo control: sensors, controllers and actuators. Throughout, the mechatronic approach – a synergistic integration of the components – is maintained, in keeping with current practice.




The authors" holistic approach does not preclude the reader from learning in a step-by-step fashion – each chapter contains material that can be studied separately without compromising understanding. Drives are described in several chapters according to the way they are usually classified in industry, each comprised of its actuators and sensors. The controller is discussed alongside. Topics of recent and current interest – piezoelectricity, digital communications and future trends – are detailed in their own chapters.
