We want to have more and more control over our living environment. Not only do we want to know how warm it is in the house and adjust the thermostat accordingly, we also want to be able to adjust our lights from work. But we also want to know whether the doors are really closed, whether the washing machine is ready and to water the plants from our vacation address.
All this is possible with the help of microcontrollers. The ESP32 is one such microcontroller. What the ears, eyes, smell, taste and touch are to humans, sensors are to these controllers. For the price of a few dollars and an evening's work, a hobbyist can connect all kinds of sensors to the ESP32 and begin to build a complete home automation system. Because the ESP32 is equipped with Wifi, the information is available anywhere.
The ESP32 and sensors are very cheap and easily available. The necessary software is free to download and the electronics easy to understand. This book will teach you in a simple way how to connect the different parts and write programs to monitor and control your world electronically. Since everything takes place on breadboards you don't even have to solder. So what's stopping you?
Step into the world of home automation and the Internet Of Things with Luc Volders.
