Pet Feeder Using Blynk Platform And Website

Abstract

Abstract— The main issue with having cats is their feeding. This happens since many people are busy yet still want to have a cat as it is a low-maintenance animal. In fact, many cat owners are so busy with their activities away from home that they are unable to feed their cats when they are hungry. This study proposes the development of automated cat feeding technologies to address this issue. In this study, the pet feeder will be remotely controlled through Blynk and the website. The microcontroller used is based on Arduino and connects to the Blynk platform via mobile devices by downloading apps. Website can also handle this tool via a laptop or personal computer (PC). Both services allow pet owners to remotely regulate meal schedules, food portions to be served, and food supply. The results showed that the developed application and Internet of Things provide information on pet feeding schedules, which has an impact on controlling cat weight.. In TIPHON Quality of Service testing, the throughput results are 667.7 mbps, indicating it is in poor category, and the delay is 85 ms, indicating it is in a good category.
