automation. Attendees will be able to use voice-activated instructions
to monitor conditions inside the home, trigger events, and turn
household appliances on and off.

system designer.
-
Cloud Sense Home Automation: This platform uses the Raspberry
Pi Sense HAT and the AT&T LTE IoT Add-on Kit from Avnet for secure
wireless access to the cloud. A series of bright multi-color LED
indicators are used to reflect the status of the temperature, pressure
and humidity in the home, enabling prototyping for Smart Home
applications such as HVAC, micro-agriculture, lawn irrigation, weather
monitoring and residential construction.
