# IoT Home Automation Setup Guide

## Overview
This guide will walk you through setting up a basic IoT home automation system using a Raspberry Pi and Python. You will learn how to control a smart light bulb and a smart thermostat remotely.

## Prerequisites
- Raspberry Pi (any model with Wi-Fi capability)
- Smart light bulb (e.g., Philips Hue)
- Smart thermostat (e.g., Nest Thermostat)
- Python 3.x
- Basic knowledge of Python programming

## Step 1: Setting Up the Raspberry Pi
1. **Install Raspberry Pi OS**: Download and install the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS from the official website.
2. **Connect to Wi-Fi**: Connect your Raspberry Pi to your home Wi-Fi network.
3. **Update Packages**: Open the terminal and run the following commands to update your packages:
   ```bash
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade
   ```

## Step 2: Installing Python Libraries
1. **Install Required Libraries**: Open the terminal and run the following commands to install the necessary Python libraries:
   ```bash
   pip install requests
   pip install python-nest
   ```

## Step 3: Controlling the Smart Light Bulb
1. **Create a Python Script**: Create a new Python script named `light_control.py`.
2. **Add the Following Code**:
   ```python
   import requests
   
   def turn_on_light():
       url = "https://api.philips.com/v1/[COMPANY]/lights/[INDUSTRY]/state"
       headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"}
       data = {"on": True}
       response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, json=data)
       return response.json()
   
   def turn_off_light():
       url = "https://api.philips.com/v1/[COMPANY]/lights/[INDUSTRY]/state"
       headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"}
       data = {"on": False}
       response = requests.put(url, headers=headers, json=data)
       return response.json()
   
   print(turn_on_light())
   print(turn_off_light())
   ```
3. **Run the Script**: Execute the script by running the following command in the terminal:
   ```bash
   python light_control.py
   ```

## Step 4: Controlling the Smart Thermostat
1. **Create a Python Script**: Create a new Python script named `thermostat_control.py`.
2. **Add the Following Code**:
   ```python
   from python_nest import Nest
   
   def set_temperature(temperature):
       nest = Nest("YOUR_CLIENT_ID", "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET", "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN")
       devices = nest.devices()
       for device in devices:
           if device.device_id == "YOUR_THERMOSTAT_ID":
               device.set_temperature(temperature)
   
   set_temperature(72)
   ```
3. **Run the Script**: Execute the script by running the following command in the terminal:
   ```bash
   python thermostat_control.py
   ```

## Conclusion
You have successfully set up a basic IoT home automation system using a Raspberry Pi and Python. You can now control your smart light bulb and smart thermostat remotely. For more advanced features, you can explore additional APIs and libraries.
