What if the smartest system in your home cost less than a single month of a commercial security subscription — and never sent a single byte of your data anywhere you didn't choose?

Raspberry Pi 5 Home Projects is a fully illustrated, full-color, step-by-step guide built for maximum visual clarity — every wiring diagram, every dashboard mockup, every setup screen is shown in rich color so you always know exactly what you're looking at and exactly what to do next. This isn't a book you read once and shelve. It's a hands-on system you build room by room, weekend by weekend, until your entire home runs on hardware you own and fully understand.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Set up and secure your Raspberry Pi 5 from the very first boot, no prior experience required
Build a local, AI-assisted security system with cameras, motion detection, and door sensors
Automate lighting and climate room by room, without a single monthly subscription
Add a private, offline voice assistant that never sends your conversations to the cloud
Track and cut your home's energy costs with real, actionable data
Build a personal media server and a retro gaming console the whole family will use
Create safe, educational projects designed to build with your kids, not just for them
Extend automation outdoors with smart irrigation, garage control, and perimeter security
Set up secure remote access so your entire system travels with you, safely
Build backups, monitoring, and documentation so the system keeps running for years

Every chapter builds on the last, turning ten focused projects into one connected, intelligent home — not a pile of disconnected gadgets.

Your smart home is one decision away from existing. Start building it today.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
