Home Hacking Projects for Geeks (Hacks)

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:23:27 -0500

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.

Home Automation 39A00-1 Phase Coupler

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:23:11 -0500

Are UPB-controlled lights or appliances in one area of your house having trouble receiving signals from UPB transmitters in another area of the house? Because most homes have 2-phase 220V power that splits into two separate 110V legs, sometimes UPB signals have a hard time making the transition from one leg to the other. But connect the HAI UPB Phase Coupler to your main circuit breaker panel, and it will bridge UPB signals between the two power lines in your home easily, allowing virtually all of your UPB receivers to respond to UPB signals.This capacitor is useful for coupling UPB signals across two 120V AC power circuits in a split-phase residential installation. The device can be installed in your main circuit breaker panel. To install a signal coupler in a junction box mounted near the home's power center, use the Wire-in UPB Phase Coupler instead.

Home Automation Inside Out!

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:23:05 -0500

The Benefits Of Home Automation

The reason that many of the home automation products have been developed is that of convenience. People love being lazy, and in short, that’s just fine when it comes to automation options.

Do you remember when you were younger not having a remote control for the television. Yes, there was a time when you actually did have to get up to turn the channels. As difficult as that was, the television remote was one of the first automation tools and by far one of the most used automation tools today.

Convenience with home automation goes farther than this, though. You’ll gain the ability to do more, faster and easier. For example, you can heat your home, run a bath, dim the lights, warm your bed before you make it up the stairs and so much more.

Home Networking: The Missing Manual

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:22:51 -0500

Millions of computers around the world today are connected by the Internet, so why is it still so hard to hook up a few PCs in you own home? Whether you want to share an Internet connection, install WiFi, or maybe just cut down on the number of printers you own, home networks are supposed to help make your life easier. Instead, most aspiring home networkers get lost in a confusing maze of terms and technologies: 802.11g, Fast Ethernet, Cat 5 cable (or was it Cat 5e?), Powerline, and on and confusingly on.

That's where Home Networking: The Missing Manual comes in. Using clear language, straightforward explanations, and a dash of humor, this book shows you how to do everything you need to set up a home network. Coverage includes:

WiFi, Ethernet, or Powerline? There are several kinds of digital pipes that you can use to create your network, and none of them have friendly names. This book tells you what they are, explains the pros and cons of each, and helps you figure out what you need to buy, and how to install it.

Windows and Mac info included. Half the battle in home networking takes place after you've bought your gear and plugged it in. That's because the routers, network adapters, and cables that you need get you only part way towards networking nirvana. Whether you've got PCs or Macs or both, you'll need help tweaking your computers' settings if you want to get all your machines talking to each other. This book covers most known operating system flavors, including Windows XP, 2000, Me, and 98, and Mac OS X and OS 9.

Fun things to do with your network. The real fun starts once your network is up and running. This book shows you how to do much more than simply share an Internet connection and a printer. You'll learn how to stream music from your PCs to your stereo, how to display pictures on your TV, how to hook up game consoles to your network, and more!

Most important, this book helps you understand the difference between what you need to know to create and use your home network and what's best left to those looking for a career as a system administrator. In Home Networking: The Missing Manual you'll find everything you need to get your network running-and nothing more.

Home Automation: Home cinema, Houseplant, Domestic robot, Radio, Infrared, Crestron Electronics, Energy harvesting, DASH7, Digital home, E-Home Automation

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:22:44 -0500

Home automation (also called domotics) may designate an emerging practice of increased automation of household appliances and features in residential dwellings, particularly through electronic means that allow for things impracticable, overly expensive or simply not possible in recent past decades. The term may be used in contrast to the more mainstream "building automation," which refers to industrial settings and the automatic or semi-automatic control of lighting, climate doors and windows, and security and surveillance systems. The techniques employed in home automation include those in building automation as well as the control of home entertainment systems, houseplant watering, pet feeding, "scenes" for different events (such as dinners or parties), and the use of domestic robots. Typically, it is easier to more fully outfit a house during construction due to the accessibility of the walls, outlets, and storage rooms, and the ability to make design changes specifically to accommodate certain technologies. Wireless systems are commonly installed when outfitting a pre-existing house, as they obviate the need to make major structural changes.

Intermatic HA04C Home Settings Wireless Heavy-Duty Outdoor Lighting Module

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:22:41 -0500

Control patio, landscape or holiday lights via Z-Wave Remote Control. Lighting control is becoming increasingly common in homes and businesses. Now you can expand this control to your outdoor lighting, including patio lights, landscape lights and holiday lights by connecting them to a Z-Wave Outdoor Lighting Module. By doing so, you'll be able to control a light or light set remotely using a radio-frequency controller, so no wires need to be run, and you won't have to rely on power lines to get your signals across. The Outdoor Lighting Module accepts timed signals, so you can schedule your outdoor accent lights to turn on at dusk, especially convenient in inclement weather. By using radio frequency technology, Z-Wave components require no wiring, and since each module includes a repeater function, adding more modules to your Z-Wave network actually improves reliability. Note: Z-Wave technology is not X10 compatible. The Z-Wave Outdoor Lighting Module is fully weather-resistant, so it will aid in controlling any outdoor lighting. Installation is easy, and two-way feedback confirms that each device is set up and working properly. Once set up, you'll be able to turn your outdoor lights on and off using a Master Remote Controller or a Handy Controller (each not included); take advantage of the manual override function to turn the lights off at their source.

Technologies for Home Networking

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:22:37 -0500

A broad overview of the home networking field, ranging from wireless technologies to practical applications

In the future, it is expected that private networks (e.g., home networks) will become part of the global network ecosystem, participating in sharing their own content, running IP-based services, and possibly becoming service providers themselves. This is already happening in the so-called "social networks" and peer-to-peer file sharing networks on the Internet—making this emerging topic one of the most active research areas in the wireless communications field.

This book bridges the gap between wireless networking and service research communities, which, until now, have confined their work to their respective fields. Here, a number of industry professionals and academic experts have contributed chapters on various aspects of the subject to present an overview of home networking technologies with a special emphasis on the user as the center of all activities. Coverage includes:

Networked home use cases and scenarios
Media format, media exchange, and media interoperability
Location-aware device and service discovery
Security in smart homes
Secure service discovery protocol implementation for wireless ad-hoc networks
Multimedia content protection in consumer networks
Mobile device connectivity in home networks
Unlicensed mobile access/generic access network
Wireless sensor networks in the home
Ultra-wideband and sensor networking in the home environment

With a balanced mix of practice and theory, Technologies for Home Networking focuses on the latest technologies for speedier, more reliable wireless networking and explains how to facilitate workable end-to-end solutions from a user's perspective. This book is an ideal resource for practicing engineers, designers, and managers with an interest in home networking and also serves as a valuable text for graduate students.

Intermatic HA02C Home Settings Wireless Heavy-Duty Plug-In Appliance Module

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:22:05 -0500

Home automation provides instant control of lights or appliances. By connecting a fluorescent light or an appliance to a Z-Wave Plug-in Appliance Module, you'll be able to control it remotely using a radio-frequency controller, so no wires need to be run, and you won't have to rely on power lines to get your commands to your appliance. The appliance module accepts timed signals, so you can schedule your fluorescent light to turn on at dusk, convenient if you're away from home. By using radio frequency technology, Z-Wave components require no wiring, and since each module includes a repeater function, adding more modules to your Z-Wave network actually improves reliability. Note: Z-Wave technology is not X10 compatible.The Z-Wave Plug-in Appliance Module will control a fluorescent light up to 42 watts. Installation is easy, and two-way feedback confirms that each device is set up and working properly. Once set up, you'll be able to turn appliances or fluorescent lights on and off using a Master Remote Controller or a Handy Controller (each sold separately); take advantage of the manual override function to turn the appliances off at their source.

Smart Home Hacks: Tips & Tools for Automating Your House

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:21:49 -0500

So much of what is commonplace today was once considered impossible, or at least wishful thinking. Laser beams in the operating room, cars with built-in guidance systems, cell phones with email access. There's just no getting around the fact that technology always has, and always will be, very cool.

But technology isn't only cool; it's also very smart. That's why one of the hottest technological trends nowadays is the creation of smart homes.

At an increasing rate, people are turning their homes into state-of-the-art machines, complete with more switches, sensors, and actuators than you can shake a stick at. Whether you want to equip your home with motion detectors for added security, install computer-controlled lights for optimum convenience, or even mount an in-home web cam or two purely for entertainment, the world is now your oyster. Ah, but like anything highly technical, creating a smart home is typically easier said than done.

Thankfully, Smart Home Hacks takes the guesswork out of the process. Through a seemingly unending array of valuable tips, tools, and techniques, Smart Home Hacks explains in clear detail how to use Mac, Windows, or Linux to achieve the automated home of your dreams. In no time, you'll learn how to turn a loose collection of sensors and switches into a well-automated and well-functioning home no matter what your technical level may be.

Smart Home Hacks covers a litany of stand-alone and integrated smart home solutions designed to enhance safety, comfort, and convenience in new and existing homes. Kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, living rooms, and even bathrooms are all candidates for smart automation and therefore are all addressed in Smart Home Hacks.

Intelligently written by engineering guru and George Jetson wannabe, Gordon Meyer, Smart Home Hacks leaves no stone unturned. From what to purchase to how to use your remote control, it's the ultimate guide to understanding and implementing complete or partial home automation.
