Good evening all!
We have a smallish fish tank and at the moment I have a routine that every day announced on our smart speakers it is time to feed the fish. Now the problem with this is if we aren’t in at that moment / away on holiday or don’t hear the speaker.
Now I could solve some of that by checking if we are home etc and perhaps a button to say I have done it and then reminders however doesn’t solve the bit when we are away.
I was wondering if anyone has a clever device that could deliver a tiny pinch of fish food every day at a specified time? I already automate the lights and bubbles so just need this last thing to make it perfect!
Thanks in advance for any insights and suggestions. I am not beyond tinkering with hardware like ESP32’s but I would still say I am fairly novice.
