Pet Activity Monitor Kit v6 — ESP32 Q-Learning Heating Scheduler

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Traditional pet heating pads use timers or manual switches, ignoring whether your pet is actually present or comfortable. This kit replaces guesswork with intelligence — you will build a monitor that runs a Q-learning agent directly on the ESP32. Without writing a single if-then rule, the system observes occupancy via a PIR sensor, reads temperature and humidity from a DHT22, and decides when to toggle a heating relay. Over days, the agent learns the optimal heating schedule for your pet’s unique routine, maximizing comfort while saving energy.

What You'll Build

You will assemble a compact station that combines a 0.96‑inch OLED display, HC-SR501 motion detector, DHT22 sensor, DS3231 real-time clock, and a relay module — all controlled by an ESP32. The firmware implements a table‑based Q‑learning algorithm that updates its action values each time it receives feedback. Every morning, you can check the OLED to see the learned policy: the hours when heating is most likely to be needed, learnt entirely from data rather than programmed rules.

What You'll Learn

• Implementing Q‑learning on bare metal with no Python or ML library
• Interfacing PIR, DHT22, DS3231 RTC, and OLED over I²C and GPIO
• Designing a reward function that balances pet comfort against power consumption
• Deploying a self‑improving agent that runs offline and adapts to seasonal changes

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit fits perfectly into CBSE Class 11–12 AI‑integrated physics projects, B.Tech ECE/EEE assignments at colleges like VIT, NIT, or BITS Pilani, and ATL Tinkering Lab workshops. If you’re participating in the Smart India Hackathon and need an IoT‑plus‑ML demo that runs entirely on-device, the Pet Activity Monitor gives you a working reinforcement learning example you can extend the same day.

Built and Backed by Compoden

Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
