IoT Kitty Litter Box 🐈💩

Welcome to to world of IoT (Internet of Toilets 🚽)

My favorite things in life are cats 🐈, computers 🖥 and crappy ideas 💩, so I decided to combine all three and make an IoT (Internet of Things) litter box using a Raspberry Pi and JavaScript.


This project will help track your feline friend's health by measuring its weight every time it sets foot on the litter tray, and monitors its urination patterns. The equipment can be connected to a companion smartphone app that displays the relevant data in an easy-to-understand graph format, so that cat parents can quickly spot symptoms of unusual weight loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a decentralized network different from the traditional web?

Decentralization is a key aspect of PiperNet. Traditionally, to access data on a website, you needed to connect to a single server containing that data. This method of storing data makes it easy for third parties to get access to it, corrupt it or even delete it. In PiperNet it is securely stored on multiple devices in the network, which makes it harder to hack and interfere with your data.

Why shouldn't I just store my data on a Hooli Box?

That's just the thing - if you store your data in a single place, like Gavin Belsons' poorly-made server box, your data will very susceptible to hacking. Whereas on PiperNet, your data is safe with many copies to back it up from.
