So what is Safe Chicken?
- a Raspberry Pi controlling a chicken door electronics so they are safe at night
- the door can be opened or closed according to:
- sunrise & sunset (calculated)
- static time
- force command (web app open/close buttons)
- the web application helps checking the current state of the door and allowing some user commands
- the output is just a relay signal to open and close the door
- the door motor and the motor electronics are not part of this project; this setup just controls the relay signals (and two LEDs for displaying the status)
- uses an MQTT broker which runs on your NAS or a home server (but could also run on the Raspberry itself)
- allows unstable WLAN connections from the Raspberry to the home network
