Automatic IoT Pet Feederusing Arduino Uno

The internet of things, or IoT, is a network of interconnected objects able to connect and exchange data. “Smart Home” is one of the most trending implementations of IoT. With increasing workforces and more working members in the family, raising pets has become an issue. This project proposes to create an automated system to provide food to the pet on time based on user given instructions. The user need not be physically present to feed their pets and can program the system to work automatically. However, the user will have to wash the container and must take care about the size of the valve to prevent food from getting stuck in it. Additional components like cameras could also be installed with the system to keep a check on the pet’s activities for better results. An embedded integrated system like this will greatly facilitate the ease of feeding pets for busy owners.
