Mike Riley has a new book in print from The Pragmatic Bookshelf:

Get to know the latest Raspberry Pi hardware and create awesome automation solutions for home or work that don’t require an electronics degree, cumbersome add-ons, or expensive third-party subscription services. Mike Riley shows you how to create easy-to-run Python scripts that make your Pi do things that would have required a team of automation experts to build only a few years ago.

Power on your own computer and appliances using your voice. Implement a temperature-monitoring room fan. These are just two of the projects that the book will show you how to make. Most projects can be completed and operational in under an hour, and do not require any messy schematics or a spaghetti bowl of wires and breadboard-attached circuits to operate.

Control your home or office exactly the way you want instead of relying on an expensive mysterious box of third-party technology to do it for you.
