AI Pet Feeder
with Vision Confirmation

A fully autonomous feeding system that doesn't just schedule meals — it sees, thinks, and confirms.

🐈‍⬛

The Problem

Standard smart feeders are time-based and blind. They dispense food even when the pet isn't there, overfeed, double-feed, or completely miss the pet's presence. There's no intelligence — just a timer.

🤖

The Solution

Motion triggers a camera snapshot. Google Gemini AI analyzes the image to confirm it's your pet. Only then does the feeder dispense the right portion — then a second AI call confirms the kibble actually dropped. Full loop, zero guessing.

How It Works

📡
Step 1
Motion Detected
Tapo camera cell motion sensor triggers the HA automation
📸
Step 2
Snapshot + AI Analysis
Camera takes a snapshot. Gemini Vision confirms: is it the right pet?
🍽️
Step 3
Smart Dispensing
Correct gram portion dispensed based on time-of-day schedule and daily limit
Step 4
Visual Confirmation
Second AI call confirms kibble is in the bowl. You get a push notification.

Other Smart Automations

This isn't just about turning lights on. It's about deep integration, state tracking, and zero-touch experiences.

🚪

Context-Aware Smart Gates

Arriving home isn't a simple geolocation trigger. The system calculates your approach vector using sequential tripwires and preemptively prompts your car's dashboard to open the exact gate you are facing. Fully zero-touch if ignored, or one-tap interactive via the car's native screen.

Vehicle UI Vector Tracking
🔒

Intelligent Auto-Unlock

The smart front door lock opens autonomously when you arrive, but only if stringent security conditions are met: the house must have been marked 'Away' for over 1 hour, and your phone must actively establish a connection to the primary home Wi-Fi network. This eliminates accidental unlocks.

Network Presence Security Lockout
💧

Smart Water Security

A silent guardian for the house plumbing. The system monitors occupancy states; if the house is completely empty for more than 2 hours, it automatically triggers the main water valve to shut off, preventing catastrophic flooding. The second you return, water flow is immediately restored.

Occupancy Logic Flood Prevention
☀️

Solar-Synced Climate

Why pay for cooling when the sun provides it? The AC units are programmed to turn on autonomously only when the solar panels generate sufficient excess wattage, and strictly if the interior temperature crosses a defined comfort threshold. Maximum efficiency without manual intervention.

Energy Optimization Climate Control
🖨️

Printer Supply Monitor

Never get caught unable to print an important document. The background network constantly polls the local printer's internal sensors, instantly sending a proactive push notification when toner or essential supplies hit critically low levels, giving you time to reorder.

Hardware Polling Proactive Alerts

Leave-Home Failsafe

A massive cost-saver acting as a digital safety net. The moment the last person leaves the defined 'Home' zone, a cascading script sweeps the entire house, turning off all forgotten lights, halting AC units, and ensuring high-draw appliances are securely killed.

Zone Triggers Power Management
🧾

AI Invoice Agent

An automated background worker that constantly scans incoming emails, identifies utility or purchase invoices, securely extracts the attached PDFs, and automatically uploads and categorizes them into designated Google Drive folders for accounting.

Email Parsing Cloud Sync
🚗

Car Documents Reminder

Contextual memory assistance. When the house state transitions from 'Home' to 'Away' and your phone connects to the car's Bluetooth/dashboard system, a high-priority voice and visual prompt fires on the screen reminding you to grab your car documents before driving off.

About the Builder

Authentic, adaptive
tech explorer.

I'm HAiDanny — a home automation enthusiast who got tired of "smart" devices that aren't actually smart. So I started building the missing piece: automations that see, think, and respond.

My approach is practical: take consumer hardware, layer in real AI vision, orchestrate it with Home Assistant, and document everything so you can replicate it. No PhD required.
