RANCANG BANGUN PROTOTYPE SMART PET FEEDER MENGGUNAKAN MICROCONTROLLER ARDUINO BERBASIS INTERNET OF THINGS

Abstract

Bussiness outside the home such as work affairs, schools, etc., is often an obstacle for people who have pets. Where pet owners have to travel for long periods of time and leave their pets at home, the feeding schedule of animals will not be regular, so pets are starving and may result in poor health of the animal itself. The purpose of this study is that the automatic feed system can provide long-term feeding so as to meet the expectations of animal owners as a solution to the problems faced by pet owners. The research method used in this research is using data collection method, identify problem and prototype method as system development. The design of this smart pet feeder consists of Arduino microcontroller as the main regulator of the system and ultrasonic sensor acts as a remnant of feed remaining in the storage tube. The result is an automated animal feeding system with the right portion, adjustable scheduling, and real-time monitoring. Cat feeding time can be adjusted as needed.
