Cat food dispenser under Jeedom via ESP8266

Prerequisites

To build this setup, you will need:

• 1 ESP8266;
• 1 LF33CV regulator (5v to 3.3v);
• 1 1kΩ resistor (pull-up);
• 1 double relay module (5v).

Principle

The dispenser consists of a 12v motor that rotates a threaded rod to which a tray is attached.

The tray is locked in rotation by two thin rods at the base of the dispenser.

Consequently, depending on the rotation direction of the motor, the tray goes down or up.

A larger diameter tube surrounds everything to collect the food and pours it at the base through a spout.

The dispenser is connected to Jeedom via an ESP8266 and actuates the double relay on HTTP request.
