Building a Home Security Dashboard

In Chapter 7, Setting Up a Raspberry Pi Web Server, we were introduced to the web framework CherryPy. Using CherryPy, we are able to turn our Raspberry Pi into a web server. In Chapter 8, Reading Raspberry Pi GPIO Sensor Data Using Python, we learned how to read sensory data from the GPIO.

In this chapter, we will take the lessons that we learned from the previous two and create a home security dashboard.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Creating our dashboard using CherryPy
  • Displaying sensory data on our dashboard
