# IOT Automated Cat/Dog Laser Toy ## A laser toy that may be activated remotely or at home using Google Assistant and/or Adafruit I/O. One summer, I decided to vacation in Chile two weeks. After booking a sitter to check on and feed my cat, I realized that I would want to check in on the cat remotely. I setup an Android phone to automatically answer a Skype call so that I may see if the cat is doing well. However, I knew that he would not come to the phone easily. Therefore, with a week before the trip, I designed this toy so that I could play with him remotely while checking in on him. The toy was so successful that I continue to use it to play with the cat to this day! ## Features * Creates a random play session based on a set of predefined moves. This is to keep the laser game from becoming too predictable. * Can be activated remotely or on site thanks to Adafruit I/O. * IFTTT may be used to link with Google Assistant/Home or other services. * Preoccupied cat...need I say more? ## Code and Build Instructions Available on [Github](https://github.com/boomninjavanish/voiceActivatedLaserToy). ## Contributing If you wish to contribute to this project, feel free to [reach out to me](https://dunlap.media/contact). ## License This project is protected by the GNU General Public License v3.0.
