Summary

"Home Automation For Dummies teaches readers how to control common appliances and amenities in their homes from their smartphones or tablets wherever they happen to be. Modern appliances, including heating and air conditioning, lighting, multimedia systems, gaming, security and monitoring devices, and much more now offer options for monitoring and control via smart devices such as iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets. This book guides readers through installing and setting up popular devices in their homes and suggests popular products to consider. Practical advice includes showing users how to control their homes remotely while abroad or set geofences to automatically adjust lighting or temperature in a home when the corresponding smart phone and user are ten minutes away from reaching the front door. Home Automation For Dummies also covers digital life hacks that explain how non-app-ready appliances can be controlled via smart phones using third party go-betweens and explores the dream setup for app controlled homes without having to spend thousands of dollars on a professional, smart home installation"--Publisher's description.
