Project 5: How to Send an E-mail
Using a Wireless Remote
In this project you will use a wireless remote to send a signal to the Raspberry Pi to check the
status of the sensors that you have built in the other projects in this chapter and then send
yourself an e-mail report of all the sensors in the house. his is an example of the control
category of home automation. he e-mail will contain the temperature, status of door
switches and motion sensors and a picture of the last motion detected by the webcam. Other
typical uses of a wireless remote in home automation are switching lights on and of (particu-
larly external lights), switching or sounding an alarm system, opening and closing a garage
door and automating blinds and curtains. As you get access to more home-automation sen-
sors and controllers within your home you can use what you learn in this chapter to add
remote control to those devices. Table 13-6 shows what you need.
