This book is about the project, design, installation and maintenance of an advanced Home Automation system. A fun and useful project, with multiple sensors and actuators. Based on the Raspberry P(c)i, Google Home(c) Artificial Intelligence and written in Python(c) on Raspbian(c). With support for Colorama(c) and Tkinter(c) graphic environments. Additional KNX(c) modules, WIFI switches, infrared converter, Tado (c) smart thermostat, touch screens, Router, Bridge, decoders, etc. Remote monitoring with VNC(c), access with NO-IP(c) and Apache Server(c).

Multiple IFTTT(c) routines for Google Home(c) and applicable to Amazon Alexa(c).

All this controlled bidirectionally by voice too, with Google Home(c), personal messaging with Telegram(c), touch screen with Raspberry(c) and PLEX(c) Server. Reporting with event viewers, email, voice with alarms, and Telegram BOT(c). Fully configurable, scalable with several proposals (from simple to complex) and basis for other projects in any type of housing.

Oriented to Home Automation enthusiasts, College or University students, Engineering, Final & Master Degree projects, students and teachers with basic knowledge of Electricity, Electronics, Python(c) and Raspberry(c), or wanting to get them
