| HOME HACKING PROJECTS FOR GEEKS |
Take a geek and a pc, add one soldering iron, a home, and a copy of home hacking projects for geeks, and you'll give new meaning to the term, "home improvement." from fearless neophytes to tool-wielding masterminds, the home hacker in any geek will find new inspiration and plenty of hands-on guidance to take on a variety of home-transforming projects once relegated to the world of sci-fi.
this fun new guide combines creativity with electricity and power tools to achieve cool--and sometimes even practical--home automation projects. never again will you have to flip a light switch when you enter a room or use a key to open your front door. with a few off-the-shelf devices, some homemade hardware, and a little imagination, you can be living in your own high-tech habitat.
home hacking projects for geeks shows hackers of all ability levels how to take on a wide range of projects, from the relatively small but energy-conscious automating of light switches, to building home theaters using windows or linux-based pcs, to more complicated projects like building home security systems that rival those offered by professional security consultants. each project includes a conceptual diagram, a "what you need list" and a small "project stats" section that describes the relative difficulty, time involved, and cost of the project. what's more, each project is a workable, practical way to improve your home--something unique that you can customize for your individual needs.
the thirteen projects in home hacking projects for geeks are divided into three categories: home automation, home entertainment systems, and security, and include projects such as:
* remotely monitor your pet
* make your house talk
* remotely control your computer's mp3 player
* create time-shifted fm radio
* watch your house across the network
* build a home security system.
if you've ever thought the jetson's had it made, or looked around your house and thought, "i could make that better " then you're ready for home hacking projects for geeks.
