Any time the feeder receives a signal through the cloudBit, the servo is activated. In our case, we attached a fish food container with a small hole drilled in its side to the servo. When the servo turns, a few pellets drop out of the container and into the bowl.
You can activate the servo remotely in a couple different ways. You can either use the littleBits button in Cloud Control to send a single pulse to the cloudBit, activating the servo. Or, you could use an IFTTT channel, like Date & Time to automate the feeding at times you set.
Hello!
Feeding pets remotely is really convenient! I recently came across an article about why the demand for technology solutions for pets is growing and it piqued my interest (https://www.cogniteq.com/blog/why-demand-pet-tech-solutions-rise). I decided to try this idea in action and turned to Cogniteq to develop a similar application.
And, you know, I can’t help but share my experience! Working on this project has been an amazing journey. With the help of the developed application, I can control the feeding of my pets from anywhere in the world, which brings me great convenience and peace of mind.
If you are also thinking about this solution for your pets, I highly recommend contacting Cogniteq. They are professionals in their field and will help turn your idea into reality.
Good luck to you and your pets will always be in good hands!
