Alternative approach: How about a smart camera that can recognize the difference between the dogs and the cats? Might be expensive though.

Here is a link to an article on the field of possibilities https://homealarmreport.com/security-cameras-face-detection-facial-recognition/

Subject: [mh] Pet tracking (with RFID?)

 

I'd like to track our pets (3 tiny/small dogs and 1 cat). The cat is 17 lbs and the dogs are 3.5, 10 & 11lbs each. We recently made a change to how we server the cat's food and he really likes it, but it also gives the dogs access to the special diet cat food.

 

I was thinking of placing an RFID chip on the dogs and a reader near the cat food so that MH can tell on them while we're training them to keep away. What kind of reader  would work for this? I imagine placing the reader under the floor where the dish usually sits, so needs to have a reasonable range.

 

I'm thinking RFID since this could be used for other future projects as well. Would love info on any other ideas, too.

 

Thanks!
