Abstract

Add-on smart home system is relatively cheaper and easier to be installed compared to the pre-installed type. However, there are very limited applications of smart home system involving pet care. Even though there are a lot of pet lovers who owns pets at home, many of them do not have the spare time to feed their pets due to hectic schedule. This project is designed to establish an add-on smart home system based on Internet of Things (IoT) which is the wireless smart pet feeder that can automatically dispense dry pet foods without the physical presence of the owner. The user is able to control the smart pet feeder directly from mobile phones. At feeding time, the user prompts the system from the Blynk application on smart phone or tablet. Then, the speaker produces sound to attract the pet and activates the Arduino Mega. Besides, when the pet approaches the smart pet feeder, the ultrasonic sensor detects it and activates the Arduino Mega. The servomotor then rotates to a specific degree, whereby the pet food drops into the serving bowl placed on the floor. At the same time, the real-time data is sent to the IoT platform via the ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module. As a conclusion, the problem of underfeeding and overfeeding are prevented with the design of this project. With the use of smart pet feeders, pet owners have one less chore to worry about at home while the healthcare of their pets are being taken care of.
