Geek House: 10 Hardware Hacking Projects for Around Home (ExtremeTech)

A technical guide authored by Barry and Marcia Press that empowers enthusiasts to transform a standard residence into a highly automated environment. Published by Wiley, the book provides detailed instructions for building computer-driven appliances and "electronic minions" that manage tasks such as security monitoring, sprinkler control, and media serving. Each chapter focuses on a specific area of the house, utilizing X-10 power line signaling, custom C++ or Java software, and various sensors to achieve functional automation. The authors assume readers possess basic skills in electronics, mechanical construction, and Windows programming, though they offer foundational advice for those looking to expand their expertise. Ultimately, the text serves as a flexible blueprint, encouraging makers to move beyond generic consumer products and use their imaginations to design a truly customized digital home.
