IoT Based Automatic Pet Feeding and Monitoring System

Abstract

With the increasing use of technology and busy life people look out for having emotional attachments which can bring some joy in their life. Pets are loyal and loving and this is the reason why many people adopt them. Pets are no less than real member in the family but now there are times you need to leave your pets at home for long duration. Pets require extra care, and it is not easy as it used to be with today's busy lifestyle. As a result, one of the significant challenges has been figuring out how to grow pets in a simple manner. We here propose to design a dog day care system so that we can monitor as well as feed the dogs or cats in a timely manner. The system is IoT based which is build using Raspberry pi which can take care of your pets alone at home. The system is integrated with the Pi camera that allows for live streaming over IOT platform to get on demand footage of home. SD card is key part of Raspberry pi which provides internal storage for files. Servo motor is used for opening and closing function of the container. Relay channel is used for pumping water into the container. We can control the system online over internet. This allows you to be with your pets no matter where you are. It is also integrated with the speaker that calls out the pet during the feeding time. The system consists of two containers, one of the containers is used for storing the dog food and another container is used for storing water. Food and water will be dispensed into these containers in fixed time intervals.
