The book starts off with an introduction to the history of home automation and provides some background to the Raspberry Pi, Arduino and Arduino to Pi technology. Following this we learn how to setup a small LED and switch it on and off. This is the "Hello World" program of the electronics realm. Having got to grips with wiring the Pi up to the Arduino shield and subsequently connecting up some electronic components, we move onto some more complex projects. In the following chapters the book covers setting up relays that can switch a fan on and off using mains electricity. You are guided through a basic thermostat circuit and then explore HTSQL, SQLite and Python in order to build a database for storing room temperatures. I'd never used HTSQL before so this was a great introduction to a new technology. The book finishes of with some future projects and gives us a guide to the Gertboard. For those in the US Lady Ada has the vast majority of components you'd need on her website and they are all pretty cheap. The Arduino to Pi shield I had to order from the Cooking Hacks website. Who would I recommend this book for? 1.) If you already have a bunch of Arduino shields and want to use them with the PI, this is the perfect book. Since buying the Arduino to Pi shield I have been able to re-use a bunch of electronic components I had sitting around. 2.) Your are an absolute newbie and want to learn about the Raspberry Pi and Arduino and a way to combine the technologies. The book was a lot of fun and has given me a way to get new life out of old components. Review: Book is decent, but beware, you need more than just a Pi and and an Arduino. - When I ordered the book, I did not realize that I would have to separately order a 40-Euro Arduino shield from cooking-hacks.org to use it. So basically, until I want to cough up the funds,the book is a doorstop. Even the most basic part of the setup requires additional parts (LEDs, resistors) that as a new user, I don't have. I was able to find a list of what was needed, but it would behoove anyone wanting to use the book to search through the sample pages to get the shopping list first. I will say that the portions I have read are clear and comprehensible; just not terribly useful without all the additional hardware bits. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 41 Reviews | ## Images ![Raspberry Pi Home Automation with Arduino - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7187JOwkrnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A how to guide to home automation. *by N***H on May 31, 2013* Raspberry Pi Home Automation with Arduino is an introductory guide to building projects for your home using the Raspberry Pi computer and the Arduino to Pi bridge shield.

This book introduces you to the sensors, controllers, and programming languages to spark your creativity towards home automation. Very detailed with lots of resources to get started on your journey. Good for both novice and intermediate users. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/2059510-raspberry-pi-home-automation-with-arduino](https://www.desertcart.de/products/2059510-raspberry-pi-home-automation-with-arduino) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
