About this audiobook
AI projects smart home devices machine learning hardware — Build connected devices with on-board intelligence, from smart-home sensors to predictive monitoring, combining machine learning with real IoT hardware. This hands-on guide takes you from beginner to pro, crafting 12 practical projects that integrate AI directly into smart devices. You'll learn to deploy lightweight ML models on microcontrollers, create sensor arrays that predict maintenance needs, and design voice-controlled assistants that run offline. Each project includes circuit diagrams, code listings, and troubleshooting tips. Topics cover edge computing, real-time data processing, and low-power optimization. By the end, you'll have a portfolio of working prototypes and the skills to innovate further. Unlike [placeholder] and [placeholder], this book emphasizes on-board AI without cloud dependency, ensuring privacy and low latency.
What You'll Build:
Smart thermostat with occupancy learning
Predictive maintenance monitor for appliances
Gesture-controlled lighting system
Voice-activated security camera with local processing
Soil moisture sensor with irrigation forecasting
Air quality analyzer with anomaly detection
Wearable health tracker with fall detection
Smart lock with facial recognition
Energy meter with consumption prediction
Pet feeder with behavioral analysis
Plant health monitor with disease prediction
Multi-sensor gateway with AI fusion
Each project uses affordable components like Raspberry Pi Pico, ESP32, or Arduino Nano. You'll implement decision trees, k-nearest neighbors, and lightweight neural networks using TensorFlow Lite and Edge Impulse. The book covers sensor calibration, wireless communication (Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRa), and power management. Debugging techniques and performance benchmarks help you refine designs. Perfect for hobbyists, students, and engineers entering the IoT AI space.
