Design your own Embedded Linux Control Centre on a PC (2nd Ed.) Enhanced second edition. PUBLIT ELEKTOR Series
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : Skovgaard Hans-Henrik
Today if you want to electronically control your home you have a lot of
opportunities. But this book is different. It is not about X10, ZigBee,
Z-wave or one of the many other leading or even bleeding edge systems,
which can be acquired today. This book is about a do-it-your-self system
made out of re-use. Why? - well, because you have just got to do something
with your old technology gathering dust and you don t want to spend a
fortune on equipment.
The main system described in this book re-uses an old PC, a wireless mains outlet -with 3 switches and one controller- and a USB web camera. All this is linked together by Linux as it can be acquired free of charge.
This book brings you ALL the basics of how to set up a Linux environment including a software development environment so it can be used as a control center. It guides you through the necessary setup and configuration of a web server, which will be the interface to your control centre. New edition enhancements include details of extending the capabilities of your control center with ports for a mobile phone -for SMS messaging - and the Elektor thermo snake for low-cost networked real-time thermal monitoring of your house and outbuildings. Now you can additionally also send all kinds of useful temperature and sensor warnings to a mobile phone.
