OmniPet

An IoT pet feeder with live monitoring

Overview

One of my first major engineering projects, built to explore IoT, networked machines, and the Raspberry Pi. Using MQTT and Node-RED, the feeder could be controlled from anywhere in the world and stream a live camera feed, letting owners check in on their pets remotely.

This was my entry into the 2017 Contra Costa Intel Affiliated Science Fair, where it won 2nd place in its category.

Note: Due to the age of this project, documentation is sparse.
