Book Description

Internet of Things (IoT) is an ecosystem of connected physical objects that are accessible through the internet. Domestic applications of IoT are the foundation for smart homes, and when scaled up drive smart cities and manufacturing automation. Internet of Things (IoT) is currently a growing trend in the technology space, and Raspberry Pi is the perfect board to get started with building IoT projects. This book covers many of the powerful features of the Raspberry Pi projects like, building weather station, facial recognition system, security surveillance system etc., and learning the practical way using raspberry pi, sensors, and cloud.

This book is designed to introduce the readers with IoT and Raspberry Pi 3 and will later dive into the world of interesting projects. This book will demonstrate the reader to develop interesting projects on setting up weather station measuring Temperature and Humidity using sensors and how to send the data for easy online visualization. This book focuses on leveraging IoT to accomplish complex task like face recognition using raspberry pi, camera module, AWS Rekognition and AWS S3 service. The book makes readers aware about security aspects by helping them build a Security Surveillance system to protect home, premises from intruders by using raspberry pi, camera, motion sensor and Azure/AWS cloud. The book will be covering a real-world project by building a Wi-Fi controlled robot car using raspberry pi using motor driver circuit, DC motor, and web application to complete the task.

This book is a must have as it provides readers a practical overview of the existing protocols, communication patterns, architectures, and talks about why security is the most important aspect in IoT, what are its existing threats at software and hardware level.

What you will learn
