Pet Activity Monitor Kit with ESP32 + LED
ESP32 Pet Activity Monitor Kit — Build a WiFi Motion Alert System for Your Pet
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Your pet moves, you get an alert — even when you’re in another room. This kit lets you build a wireless motion monitor that sends instant push notifications to your phone over WiFi. Perfect for checking if your curious cat is on the kitchen counter or your dog is restless at night.
What You'll Build
A compact, battery-optional motion sensor that detects movement using a PIR sensor and triggers a live push notification via IFTTT or Pushover on your smartphone. Two LEDs — red for activity, green for idle — give visual feedback at a glance. Mount it near your pet’s bed, feeding zone, or a forbidden sofa to know instantly when motion happens.
What You'll Learn
- How a PIR sensor detects heat and motion changes
- Writing Arduino code to read sensor data and control WiFi communication
- Setting up IFTTT Webhooks or Pushover API to create real-time phone alerts
- Using digital outputs to control LEDs for status indication

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is designed for young makers starting with IoT — perfect for CBSE students exploring sensor projects, ATL Tinkering Lab workshops, and curious kids 5–15 who want to build something real. Engineering undergraduates in ECE will find it a quick, guided way to prototype a WiFi alert system for hackathons like Smart India Hackathon.
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.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the QR code to chat with our AI companion, which knows every wire and line of code for this kit. Stuck on the IFTTT step? WhatsApp us a photo and we’ll help you debug.
Do I need to install any apps to receive the alerts?
Yes, you’ll need a free IFTTT account (or the Pushover app) on your smartphone. Our AI companion walks you through the setup in minutes.
Can this kit be used near pets safely?
Absolutely. The PIR sensor reads ambient infrared light and does not emit anything. The low-voltage circuit is enclosed on a breadboard, and you can place it out of reach while monitoring motion.
What if my WiFi goes down?
Without WiFi, the ESP32 cannot send push alerts, but the on-board LEDs still indicate motion. The build companion suggests a simple offline buzzer extension if you want local alerts.
Pet Tracking — PIR detects motion and ESP32 sends push notification via Pushover or IFTTT over WiFi immediately.
