BOOK

Home automation lets you control daily activities such as
changing the temperature, opening the garage door, or dimming the
lights of your house using microprocessors. BeagleBone is a
low-cost, high-expansion, hardware-hacker-focused BeagleBoard. It
is small and comes with the high-performance ARM capabilities you
expect from a BeagleBoard. BeagleBone takes full-featured Linux
to places it has never gone before

Starting with the absolute basics, BeagleBone Home Automation
gives you the knowledge you will require to create an
Internet-age home automation solution. This book will show you
how to set up Linux on BeagleBone. You will learn how to use
Python to control different electronic components and sensors to
create a standalone embedded system that also accepts control
remotely from a smartphone

This book starts with the very basics of Linux administration and
application execution using terminal connections. You will learn
the basics of the general purpose input/output pins and discover
how various electronic sensors and electronic components work
The "hardware jargon" is explained, and example applications
demonstrating their practical use are created so that you will
feel in control of the capabilities provided

Network programming is also a big part of this book, as the
created server will be made accessible from the Internet through
a smartphone application. You will also learn how to create a
fully working Android application that communicates with the home
automation server over the Internet
