Pet Activity Monitor Pro Kit with Arduino Uno + LDR
Pet Activity Monitor Pro Kit: Motion-Activated Night Light with Arduino Uno & LDR
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Watch your pet's every move in the dark without disturbing their sleep. This kit lets you build a smart night light that automatically turns on when your pet passes by, then switches off after 30 seconds to conserve power. Perfect for monitoring cats, dogs, or other small animals at night.
What You'll Build
A motion-sensitive LED strip that illuminates your pet's path in darkness. The PIR sensor detects movement, the LDR ensures lights only activate when it's dark, and an Arduino Uno manages the logic. You'll mount it near a pet bed, litter box, or feeding area to provide gentle, hands-free illumination whenever your furry friend is active.
What You'll Learn
- How to interface a PIR motion sensor with Arduino to read digital signals
- Using an LDR (light-dependent resistor) as a light-level trigger with analog input
- Controlling multiple LEDs based on sensor conditions using conditional logic
- Implementing a timer function for automatic shut-off after a set interval

Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring sensor-based automation projects, early-stage B.Tech ECE/EEE enthusiasts building their first embedded system, and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors seeking a ready-to-assemble STEM activity. Also perfect for young makers under parent supervision who want to create a practical pet-care gadget.
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 on the box to launch the AI build companion trained specifically for this project. If you need further help, WhatsApp support is available during business hours, and we’ll guide you step-by-step.
Does this kit need soldering or special tools?
No soldering is required. All connections are made on the breadboard using jumper wires. You only need a computer with Arduino IDE to upload the code; the kit includes everything else.
Can I mount this outdoors for monitoring a stray animal?
It’s designed for indoor use near a pet bed or feeding station. The components are not weatherproof, but you can prototype the circuit and later enclose it in a waterproof case for controlled outdoor setups.
How long do the batteries last?
With a 9V battery, the circuit can run for several hours of active monitoring. For continuous overnight use, we recommend a USB power bank or a wall adapter connected to the Arduino’s power jack.
