In this chapter, we built an interesting project for a home automation system that can be implemented at home. In the first part, we talked about the Particle Photon, how to set up the board, and some important characteristics of Particle Photon.

Then, we connected the board to its framework and looked at an example. After that, we created a project to have control over electrical devices or other devices at home. We created a smart button that can send notifications and have control over the things at home. The first part of the project was to decode the signals that we sent to the TV; for that, we used an Arduino UNO to decode. For the last part, we made a proposal to use, with the same architecture of the system, some devices such as ESP8266 to send and control our devices in a local network.

In the next chapter, we will build an interesting project using a smart camera...
