Monitoring and Feeding System for Pets

Abstract

Over the years, more and more households are beginning to have pets. So, the most important issue recently was how to raise pets in an easy way. In today’s world, there is a growing focus on the regular interactions between human and physical devices. This paper introduces a smart pet monitoring and feeding system that is working in an environment of Internet of Things (IoT). Pet feeders came into existence as pet owners found it difficult to cater time to feed their pets. This system allows the owner to schedule and manage feeding times, portion sizes, and food supply for pets. They are controllable on smartphones using blynk and computers in order to feed them even when owners are away. The food dispensing mechanism is performed by the servomotor. It allows the user to monitor the pets using IP camera. A voice recording module is interfaced to the Arduino Uno with the owner’s voice recording for calling the pets at the meal time. Automatic water refilling has been designed and implemented along with the food dispenser.It offers new and developed way of feeding pets without the need of human intervention with refill alert and feeding alert. . Using smart pet feeder in houses will assure pet owners and increase comfort and peace of mind. Especially when we are unavailable for them.
