Pet Activity Monitor Plus Kit with ESP32 + DHT22
Matter-Enabled Pet Activity Monitor Kit with ESP32 — Works with Apple Home, Google Home & Alexa
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 deserves a safe environment, and you deserve peace of mind. This kit guides you through building a smart monitor that tracks temperature, motion, and triggers relay-based actions — all exposed natively to Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa via ESP32's Matter SDK. Imagine checking your pet's room conditions from anywhere, getting automated alerts if it gets too warm, or turning on a fan when motion is detected.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a compact device that reads temperature and humidity from the DHT22, detects pet movement with the PIR sensor, and controls an external appliance through the relay. The OLED displays live data, while the ESP32's Matter firmware ensures your monitor appears as a native accessory in your smart home app without any cloud bridges. The finished build sits inside a sturdy enclosure, ready for real-world placement near your pet's crate or favourite spot.
What You'll Learn
- Integrating the ESP32 with Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa using Matter
- Reading environmental sensors (DHT22) and motion detectors (PIR) with Arduino framework
- Controlling high-power devices safely via a relay module
- Soldering PCB prototypes and assembling enclosures for real-world deployment

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is designed for B.Tech ECE/EEE students who need a working Matter-enabled IoT prototype for their final year project or hackathon submission. It's also ideal for ATL Tinkering Lab mentors and electronics enthusiasts who have mastered Arduino basics and are ready to explore real-world smart home protocols. If you're preparing for the Smart India Hackathon or need a polished, boxed-up project for your campus innovation day, this kit gives you everything needed — no separate sourcing required.
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?
Scan the QR code inside the box to chat with our AI companion trained on this exact kit. If you need human help, reach out on WhatsApp and our team will reply within 24 hours.
Does this kit include all the tools I need?
Yes, it includes a soldering iron, solder wire, PCB boards, enclosure, and every component. You only need a computer with USB and a smart home app (Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa) to set up Matter pairing.
Will it work with Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa at the same time?
Absolutely. The ESP32 running Matter acts as a multi-admin device, so you can pair it with any combination of platforms and control your pet monitor from all of them simultaneously.
Can I add a camera or additional sensors later?
Yes. The ESP32’s GPIOs are partially used, but you can extend the build with I2C sensors or a camera module by modifying the code and enclosure. This kit gives you the foundational skills and hardware to customize further.
Pet Tracking — ESP32 Matter SDK exposes DHT22 temperature, relay and motion to Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa natively.
