Summary

In this chapter, we learnt how web servers work to setup our own home automation system where an AC bulb is controlled from any place around the world via the Internet. In the process of building it we learnt how to set up a web server on a BeagleBone board using a Python-Flask web framework. Then we also learnt how to interface an AC circuit with a BeagleBone board using a relay circuit to control an AC bulb via the web server running on the BeagleBone board. In this way, you have built an advanced Internet of Things project in this chapter. In the next chapter, we will be looking at how to interface a camera with the BeagleBone Black and work with OpenCV for image processing on BeagleBone Black.
