- Book 1 of 1: Smart Home Systems Engineering
Smart homes were meant to make life easier.
Instead, many have become dependent on unstable internet connections, locked behind subscriptions, and controlled by companies that can change the rules overnight.
What happens when your lights stop working because a server on another continent is down?
Or when your security cameras lose access because a subscription expires?
There’s a better way.
Smart Home Systems Engineering shows you how to take back control.
This practical, hands-on guide walks you through building a fully local smart home server that keeps your lights, sensors, switches, and automations running — even when the internet doesn’t.
No cloud lock-ins
No forced subscriptions
No privacy compromises
Just a fast, reliable smart home that works exactly how you want it to.
Inside This Book, You’ll Learn How To:
- Build your own local smart home server from scratch
- Choose the right hardware — Raspberry Pi, Mini PC, or repurposed system
- Connect smart switches, sensors, and controllers the right way
- Set up and run Home Assistant locally
- Create powerful automations that actually solve real-life problems
- Use motion, time, and environmental triggers intelligently
- Monitor energy usage and optimize your home’s efficiency
- Implement Zigbee, Z-Wave, and MQTT communication
- Design dashboards that make daily control simple
- Secure your smart home against outages and privacy risks
- Expand into voice control — without sending your data to the cloud
- Prepare your home for future AI-driven automation
Who This Book Is For
- Homeowners who want reliable smart home control without subscriptions
- Privacy-conscious users tired of cloud-based tracking
- DIY tech enthusiasts looking for a serious upgrade
- Engineers and builders interested in real-world automation systems
- Anyone frustrated with laggy, unreliable smart home apps
- Beginners who want a structured path into local smart home systems
- Advanced users who want to scale into secure, future-ready automation
You don’t need to be an expert — just willing to build something better.
Why Local Smart Homes Matter Now
In today’s connected world, convenience often comes at the cost of ownership and privacy.
This book shows you how to build a system where:
- Your automations run even during internet outages
- Your data stays inside your home
- Your devices respond instantly
- Your home continues working for years — regardless of vendor decisions
By the End of This Book…
You’ll have the knowledge and confidence to design, install, and expand a smart home system that is:
- Reliable
- Private
- Cost-effective
- Scalable
- Fully under your control
Stop renting your smart home from the cloud.
Start owning it.

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.…
