Abstract

The Internet of things IoT concept basically aims to connect any device, vehicle or other items to transfer data between these subsystems. IoT applications make people’s lives easier and more efficient in many ways. One of the areas where IoT can be useful is that monitoring food and water supply for pets that are left unattended for either a short or a long time. The main purpose of this paper is to state and detail an instance of low-cost IoT by designing a remote food and water control system for pet owners. The whole system consists of three subsystems; the performing unit, server, and mobile application. Each subsystem has developed by using different open-source programming languages and frameworks.
