Preface

Since the first house was built, man has made a conscious effort to improve it, to make it more comfortable and safe. Home automation or domotics has been around since decades in terms of lighting and simple appliance control and only recently has technology caught up for the idea of the interconnected world, allowing full control of your home from anywhere, to become a reality.

ESP8266 is a low-priced chip that allows you to build home automation system effectively. This book will demonstrate a few easy-to-implement home automation projects ranging from controlling a relay, to reading all kinds of parameters such as temperature, humidity, light, or presence. It also allows you to send the values from your ESP8266 modules to your private cloud. More than that, you will design and build a secure cloud and a mobile application that can bring comfort and safety at your fingertips. By the end of this book, you will be capable of building your own interconnected devices for better living.

There are many choices available in the market and you can choose your own ESP8266 module based on your project needs. Some of the widely accepted home automation projects are building a portable environmental monitor, wireless remote LCD, Air Gesture AC Dimmer/Switch, Wi-Fi Smart Garage Door, IoT Air Freshener, and internet-enabled smoke alarm.

Home automation is definitely here to stay as it continues to fill the needs of consumers who are looking for better ways to access information and control the home environment. With home automation, you can control your device the way you want.
