Whom Is This Book for?
ALEXA. GOOGLE ASSISTANT. SMART SWITCHES. Smart plugs.
Smart lights. Smart, smart, smart, smart! These days, it’s hard to turn on the TV, browse the web, or consume social media without being inundated with ads and articles about smart devices for your home. There’s a good reason why smart devices get all this attention. They’re impacting our lives more and more every day.
The collection and collaboration of smart devices in your home make up what is commonly referred to as a smart home. Smart homes help people keep tabs on their families and homes. Smart homes help keep people safe, warm, and secure. Smart homes lift the burdens of mundane tasks that we get tired of or have a hard time remembering to do. Most importantly, smart homes make our lives better.
This book is for those of you who’ve gotten the smart home bug. You want the convenience and cool factor that you hear and see in the media, but you are unsure where to start. Or, you’ve got a few smart devices and you want to know how to make them work together so you can make the most of them. Perhaps you’ve been tinkering for years and want to take your home automation to the next level. If any of these sentences describe you, then this book is for you.
By the time you are done reading this book, you’ll know the following:
- What a smart home is and what it can do for you
- How much a smart home costs
- How to get started building a smart home from scratch
- How to pick the right smart home devices for your situation
- How to plan for the future of the smart home
- How to secure your smart home (very important!) While this book focuses on those who want to build their smart homes themselves, it is also useful for those who want to pay someone to do everything. Having knowledge of the smart home concepts, technologies, and capabilities will help you direct your smart home builder to create the best result for you. If any of this sounds interesting to you, keep reading!
