The idea of a smart home – using digital devices throughout the home that can be controlled by digital voice assistants, apps, smartphones and tablets – is not a science fiction vision of the future: it is very much part of the here and now, and available to all. Also known as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart home devices can be used to automate tasks, save time and money, and to control devices in your home with a touch of a button – even when you are somewhere else.
Smart Homes in easy steps takes the mystery out of all of the elements that are required to set up a smart home: it defines a smart home and shows what is needed to make a home smart: digital voice assistants, devices and apps.
Initially, the book looks at the concept of a smart home and how it is now affordable and accessible enough for it to be a serious option for any household. Then, setting up items for a smart home is covered in detail – installing the devices, and also linking them to apps and digital voice assistants for controlling them. The book then examines the digital voice assistants that can be used in the home to control smart home devices, including detailed information about using the most popular options (and their related speakers): Alexa and the Amazon Echo; Google Assistant and the Google Home; and Siri and the Apple HomePod.
The book then looks at specific areas of smart home devices, including installation and setup, and how to control them once they are up and running. Some of the areas that are covered in detail include:
Smart lightingSmart heatingSmart security systemsSmart home camerasSmart locksSmart plugs
Illustrated using Amazon’s Echo and Alexa; Google Home and Assistant; Apple’s HomePod and Home App; and Nest
Smart Homes in easy steps is not a look into the future: it is a comprehensive yet concise, step-by-step guide on how to start transforming your home right now, using this exciting and now affordable technology – for smart learning!

It was well written. But, as its technology based, changes happen quickly. The book is a little outdated now.

Out of date by a long way. Do t bother to buy this book it’s not up to much.No value !!!For smart read dumb.That’s us !!!The multitude of expensive products and ‘Apps’ that will eventually be unsupported grows fast.So many different and non-compatible, so called ‘smart’ productsSellers avoid the big issue, that at some point they will drop support and we the consumer end up with expensive ‘bricks’ to put in landfill. Oh no ? Not again !!!Cozytouch, smart home, Tuya smart, home net, smart life, Apple, Google, etc etc.in the end it will whittle down to the few. And we will all be left with BRICKSIn the meantime we will all struggle with near-hopeless diabolically useless scams of so called Apps written by school children in their half terms.Smart ? or Dumb ? We pay the money while they move on to the next ‘smart’ thing !!!
