Summary


In this chapter, we tried to cover devices and sensors related to lighting and light intensity measurement and their use in the Linux application running on Intel Galileo.

In the first part, we looked into the sensors compatible with Intel Galileo, which may help you obtain light intensity measurement and use the data for your home. Then we followed up with remote light bulbs and mentioned the popular ones such as Philips Hue and its SDKs, which are compatible with Intel Galileo.

Remote light bulbs are getting more popular by the day with other protocols, especially with the Zigbee Light Link protocol. With the information given in this chapter, you should have an idea on how to automate your lighting system. We set up some basic circuits to show the usage. We connected our remote wall plug to a desk lamp and used a Z-Wave lamp holder for the room bulb. You can extend these cases by adding different devices and use remote wall plugs or bulbs as you need.

Along with this chapter, we...
