# AquaFeeder: Automated Fish Feeding System 🐠✨
## 🌟 Project Overview
This project was born out of a very personal incident.
While I was away on a short vacation, I lost some of my pet fish because they weren’t fed on time.
That really hit me. So, I decided to create a **robust, offline-capable fish feeding system** using the ESP8266 microcontroller.
> Now, even if there's **no internet**, my fish will get fed on time. Every time.
---
## 🛠️ Features
- ⏱️ Scheduled Feeding Twice Daily
- 🔁 Double Servo Rotation to Ensure Proper Feed Drop
- 🌐 Telegram Alerts for Feeding Confirmation
- 🔌 Power-Efficient (LED only active during feeding)
- 📴 Works **even without Internet** after being programmed
- 🧠 Smart yet **student-built & DIY-friendly**
---
## 💡 Inspiration
This isn’t just a project; it's a solution to a real problem.
> I wanted peace of mind—knowing that no matter where I am, my fish are taken care of.
> This feeder is my small tribute to that idea.
---
## 🔧 Hardware Used
- ESP8266 NodeMCU v3
- Micro Servo SG90
- Jumper Wires
- Custom 3D-printed or handmade feeder lid (optional)
- Telegram Bot for Notification
- Power Bank / Adapter for power
---
## 📸 Demo & Setup
🎬 [Click here to watch the demo video](media/automate%20fish%20feeder%20video.mp4)
---
## 📬 Telegram Notifications
The system sends:
- ✅ Confirmation after every feed
- 📊 Daily summary (optional)
- Alerts even when you’re not at home
---
## 🔐 Offline Safety
In case of **internet failure**:
> Pre-set feeding times still run flawlessly thanks to **internal scheduling**.
No data loss. No starvation. Just reliable care.
