Take control of your home and your data with the power of the Go programming language. Build extraordinary and robust home automation solutions that rival much more expensive, closed commercial alternatives, using the same tools found in high-end enterprise computing environments. Best-selling Pragmatic Bookshelf authors Ricardo Gerardi and Mike Riley show how you can use inexpensive Raspberry Pi hardware and excellent, open source Go-based software tools like Prometheus and Grafana to create your own personal data center. Using the step-by-step examples in the book, build useful home automation projects that you can use as a blueprint for your own custom projects.With just a Raspberry Pi and the Go programming language, build your own personal data center that coordinates and manages your home automation, leveraging the same high-powered software used by large enterprises. The projects in this book are easy to assemble, no soldering or electrical engineering expertise required.Build a temperature monitor that can send alerts any time defined thresholds are exceeded and report the temperature readings on a time-based series chart. Change the color of lights to visually indicate the current outdoor weather status. Create a networked motion detector that triggers an alert any time motion is detected, such as a door opening or closing, a pet wandering around, or deliveries or visitors arriving on your front porch. Even have these triggers initiate a more complex Go-based automation sequence. Integrate a small, high-resolution camera into a bird feeder that takes excellent, up-close photos whenever a bird perches at the feeder, and broadcasts them to your Discord server where your family and friends can see these wildlife captures in real time.Control your home with hardware you configure, and manage it with Go code that you create and modify any time you want to enhance your home automation capabilities.What You Need:Readers should be familiar with the Go programming language and have working knowledge of Linux. Free, open source Go-based libraries and utilities are available for download from the Internet. Readers will also need a working Raspberry Pi 3+ or higher, and a Pi Pico W microcontroller. Several other inexpensive electronic parts (touch sensors, motion detectors) are also needed for some of the projects. A Philips Hue base lighting system is also needed for the weather monitor project.
