Creating a Smart Home Automation System

In this project, students will learn how to create a smart home automation system using Raspberry Pi and Python programming language. The project will involve crafting, organization, and electronics for learning. By the end of the project, students will be able to:

• Know the basics of Raspberry Pi and Python programming language
• Understand the concept of home automation and its benefits
• Can do the following:
• Set up Raspberry Pi and install necessary software
• Connect and control electronic devices using Raspberry Pi
• Write Python code to automate home devices

Methodology

The project will be divided into several stages:

1. Introduction to Raspberry Pi and Python programming language
2. Setting up Raspberry Pi and installing necessary software
3. Connecting electronic devices to Raspberry Pi
4. Writing Python code to control electronic devices
5. Testing and troubleshooting the system
