Fish Feeder System Using Internet of Things

Pets have become quite common in almost every household. In the present busy world, it has become quite a hassle to take good care of the pets due to the lack of time and knowledge about their eating patterns and schedules. People having fish as pet need to devote more time and attention to them owing to their complex and timely food requirement. The goal of designing an IoT-based fish feeder is to eliminate manual labour involved in feeding the fish regularly at certain intervals of time. This proposed system can offer regular feeding without the interference of the owner. This system also helps to reduce costs by preventing the overspending on extra fish feed than required. This study is based on the concept that the fish will be fed the owner is not present at home. Wireless connectivity is used in the fish feeder system. The system can be built by programming a fish feeder to feed fish at a specific time, and then commanding it to deliver the food through stepper motors. It removes the existent need of a manual aquarium maintenance. The fish feeder system can be atomised and can be easily managed using a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
