Chapter 8. A Miscellany of Things
The previous chapters have provided us with the foundation and elements to design and put together our entire home security system, which we will do in the next chapter. I hope that I've guided you through this journey in a fairly structured and logical way so that you are ready to do that.
Beforehand, though, I'm including this chapter dubbed a Miscellany of Things, as that's exactly what it is. It comprises a few optional, but useful, extras that we should consider for our system, but that don't really warrant a whole chapter in their own right. I guess you could refer to them as footnotes to previous chapters.
As such, we will take a look at the following topics:
Ways to arm and disarm the system without the web-based panel
Driving inductive loads safely from our GPIO outputs
Adding an escaped water sensor input to our system
Adding a temperature sensor input to our system
How carbon monoxide detectors could be added to our system
Remotely managing our Raspberry...
