Preface

The Arduino platform makes it easy to get started with programming and electronics, but introducing wireless communication in your project can get complicated quickly. The XBee wireless platform hides most of the complicated details from you, and this book provides a step-by-step guide to using XBee modules with Arduino.

This book describes an example wireless sensor network, and invites you to build that network yourself. By following the steps in each chapter, you will build a network that can measure temperature and humidity in various rooms of your house, collect that data online, and automatically control your heating and/or cooling system to maintain the proper temperature in your house. This temperature can be configured through an online dashboard, ultimately putting control back in your hands.

All the concepts needed to build this example network will be explained, so you will have the knowledge to build your own project using these same concepts. Concepts that are closely related, but beyond the scope of this book, will be mentioned and appropriate references will be given so you can find out more if needed.
