Chapter 11. Cloud-Based Home Automation System

In this chapter, we are going to use everything we learned so far in the book, and apply it to the home automation field. We are going to build a simple but complete home automation system that we will completely control from the cloud, thanks to the ESP8266 Wi-Fi chip. The system will be composed of a motion sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, and an LED dimmer. This way, it will mimic all the essential components of a real home automation system.

We are going to build three projects based on this system. We are first going to see how to simply control every component of the system using an online dashboard. Then, we are going to see how to send automated alarms to your phone when motion is detected in your home. Finally, we are going to see how to automate your home using IFTTT and the system we created. Let's start!
