Automate Your Home Using Go »

Control your home and data with the power of Go. Build home automation solutions rivaling expensive, closed commercial alternatives, using the same tools found in high-end enterprise computing environments. Ricardo Gerardi and Mike Riley show how you can use Raspberry Pi hardware and Go-based software to create a data center. Using the step-by-step examples, build home automation projects that can become blueprints for custom projects.

Automate Your Home Using Go: Build a Personal Data Center with Raspberry Pi, Docker, Prometheus, and Grafana

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.
