Frederick Vandenbosch's development - the 'CaTS' (IoT Pet Care System) - makes it possible to switch off all devices via a central switch when leaving the house, check the room temperature and ensure that important doors/windows are locked. It also monitors the pet's eating and drinking habits and adjusts the automatic feeding accordingly. The Raspberry Pi forms the core of the project, which is networked with various sensors and openHAB/Eclipse SmartHome. With his development, the Belgian Vandenbosch wins the main prize in the 'Forget Me Not' competition and thus a trip to electronica 2014. The prize also includes a product package with a total value of over 20,000 US dollars consisting of the Tektronix MDO3104 oscilloscope with built-in spectrum analyzer, a license for the EnOcean Link middleware and an EnOcean EDK 350 Developer Kit.
