Résumé :

Ever since the Raspberry?Pi was introduced, it has been used by enthusiasts to automate their homes. The Raspberry?Pi is a powerful computer in a small package, with lots of interfacing options to control various devices. This book shows you how you can automate your home with a Raspberry?Pi. You'll learn how to use various wireless protocols for home automation, such as Bluetooth, 433.92?MHz radio waves, Z-Wave, and Zigbee. Soon you'll automate your home with Python, Node-RED, and Home?Assistant, and you'll even be able to speak to your home automation system. All this is done securely, with a modular system, completely open-source, without relying on third-party services. You're in control of your home, and no one else.

At the end of this book, you can install and configure your Raspberry?Pi as a highly flexible home automation gateway for protocols of your choice, and link various services with MQTT to make it your own system. This DIY (do it yourself) approach is a bit more laborious than just installing an off-the-shelf home automation system, but in the process, you can learn a lot, and in the end, you know exactly what's running your house and how to tweak it. This is why you were interested in the Raspberry?Pi in the first place, right?

• Turn your Raspberry?Pi into a reliable gateway for various home automation protocols.
• Make your home automation setup reproducible with Docker Compose.
• Secure all your network communication with TLS.
• Create a video surveillance system for your home.
• Automate your home with Python, Node-RED, Home?Assistant and AppDaemon.
• Securely access your home automation dashboard from remote locations.
• Use fully offline voice commands in your own language.
