Praise for PROGRAMMING YOUR HOME

Mike has a broad technology experience base that puts all the pieces of some

remarkable projects together. It’s amazing that he makes it all so easy and afford-

able. Don’t miss all that can be learned from this gem.

➤ Michael Bengtson, Consultant

The Web-Enabled Light Switch project gave my family convenience and security

options and enhanced my knowledge of RS-232 communications. It is nice to be

able to switch on lights from my favorite chair. And the Tweeting Bird Feeder

project has opened my eyes to the uses of radio communications around the home

for things besides Wi-Fi, and it will help in my work to contribute to the preserva-

tion of bird species that are struggling for food and habitat.

➤ Bob Cochran, Information Technology Specialist

With this book, Mike Riley celebrates the Arduino microcontroller in a way that

both beginning and advanced home automation hobbyists will enjoy.

➤ Sven Davies, Vice President of Applications

This is an outstanding reference that should be on the desk of every DIYer. In

much the same way that software engineers mention “The Gang of Four Patterns

Book,” I predict this text will eventually be referred to as “The Riley Book of Home

Automation.”

➤ Jon Kurz, President, Dycet, LLC

Every technology is only as exciting as the things you do with it. Mike takes a few

cheap electronics parts, an Arduino, and a bit of code and turns your home into

a much more exciting and enjoyable place. His easy-to-follow instructions make

every single one of these projects both fun and useful.

➤ Maik Schmidt, Software Developer, Author of ARDUINO: A QUICK-START GUIDE

I’ve had more fun learning new languages, systems, and gadgets with this book

than any other book I’ve read!

➤ James Schultz, Software Developer

Home automation is great fun, and Programming Your Home by Mike Riley will

get you started right away. By leveraging this book and the easily available

free/inexpensive hardware and software, anyone can tackle some great projects.

➤ Tony Williamitis, Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

This is a fun and enthusiastic survey of electronic devices that can interact with

the real world and that starts in your own home!

➤ John Winans, Chief Software Architect
