Secure, Modular, Open-Source and Self-Sufficient
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.

LoRaWAN heeft zich uitstekend ontwikkeld als communicatieoplossing in het IoT. The Things Network (TTN) heeft hieraan bijgedragen. The Things Network werd geüpgraded naar The Things Stack Community Edition (TTS (CE)). De TTN V2-clusters werden tegen het einde van 2021 gesloten.Dit boek laat de nodige stappen zien om LoRaWAN nodes te bedienen met TTS (CE) en wellicht het netwerk van gateways uit te breiden met een eigen gateway. Inmiddels zijn er zelfs LoRaWAN gateways geschikt voor mobiel gebruik waarmee je via je mobiele telefoon verbinding kunt maken met de TTN server.De auteur presenteert verschillende commerciële LoRaWAN nodes en nieuwe, goedkope en op batterijen werkende hardware voor het bouwen van autonome LoRaWAN nodes. Het registreren van LoRaWAN nodes en gateways in de TTS (CE), het leveren van de verzamelde data via MQTT en visualisatie via Node-RED, Cayenne, Thingspeak en Datacake maken complexe IoT-projecten en compleet nieuwe toepassingen mogelijk tegen zeer lage kosten.Dit boek stelt u in staat om gegevens die zijn verzameld met batterijgevoede sensoren (LoRaWAN nodes) draadloos op het internet aan te bieden en te visualiseren. U leert de basis voor smart city- en IoT-toepassingen die bijvoorbeeld het meten van de luchtkwaliteit, het waterpeil, de sneeuwhoogte, het bepalen van vrije parkeerplaatsen (smart parking) en het intelligent aansturen van straatverlichting (smart lighting) mogelijk maken.
Example projects with Node-RED, MQTT, WinCC SCADA, Blynk, and ThingSpeak

Learn programming for Alexa devices, extend it to smart home devices and control the Raspberry Pi
The book is split into two parts: the first part covers creating Alexa skills and the second part, designing Internet of Things and Smart Home devices using a Raspberry Pi.
The first chapters describe the process of Alexa communication, opening an Amazon account and creating a skill for free. The operation of an Alexa skill and terminology such as utterances, intents, slots, and conversations are explained. Debugging your code, saving user data between sessions, S3 data storage and Dynamo DB database are discussed.
In-skill purchasing, enabling users to buy items for your skill as well as certification and publication is outlined. Creating skills using AWS Lambda and ASK CLI is covered, along with the Visual Studio code editor and local debugging. Also covered is the process of designing skills for visual displays and interactive touch designs using Alexa Presentation Language.
The second half of the book starts by creating a Raspberry Pi IoT 'thing' to control a robot from your Alexa device. This covers security issues and methods of sending and receiving MQTT messages between an Alexa device and the Raspberry Pi.
Creating a smart home device is described including forming a security profile, linking with Amazon, and writing a Lambda function that gets triggered by an Alexa skill. Device discovery and on/off control is demonstrated.
Next, readers discover how to control a smart home Raspberry Pi display from an Alexa skill using Simple Queue Service (SQS) messaging to switch the display on and off or change the color.
A node-RED design is discussed from the basic user interface right up to configuring MQTT nodes. MQTT messages sent from a user are displayed on a Raspberry Pi.
A chapter discusses sending a proactive notification such as a weather alert from a Raspberry Pi to an Alexa device. The book concludes by explaining how to create Raspberry Pi as a stand-alone Alexa device.
