Hardware and software requirements
As always, we are going to start with the list of required hardware and software components for the project.
Except Raspberry Pi Zero, you will need some additional components for each of the sections in this chapter.
For the first project of this chapter, we are going to use a simple PIR motion sensor to detect motion from your Pi.
Then, for the last two projects of the chapter, we'll use the DHT11 sensor that we have already used in previous chapters.
Finally, you will need the usual breadboard and jumper wires.
This is the list of components that you will need for this whole chapter, not including the Raspberry Pi Zero:
PIR motion sensor (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13285)
DHT11 sensor + 4.7k Ohm resistor (https://www.adafruit.com/products/386)
Breadboard (https://www.adafruit.com/products/64)
Jumper wires (https://www.adafruit.com/products/1957)
On the software side, you will need to create an account on IFTTT, which we will use in all the projects of this...
