Abstract
Most people in Thailand prefer cats to their homes and dormitories. They may have busy and absence for several days. It is a big issue to forget to feed food and water to their cats. This research proposes the invention of semi-automatic cat feeders with using microcontrollers, sensors, and Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The machine is developed for five functions such as, semi-automatic food feeding system, automatic water control by the sensor system, pet movement detection, temperature and humidity monitoring, webcam camera function, and the mobile application that supports the controlling and monitoring system from the IoT. The results of the experiment of students and working people showed that the device could be supplied for feeding and watering at least three days in real life, depending on the feeding behaviour and the pet size. The satisfaction assessment results are in good to an excellent level. The proposed device can be applied to feed any animal at homes and dormitories.
