I'm looking at setting up an auto-feeder for my #aquarium. I would like to find one that either has a native #HomeAssistant integration, or is at least easy to override it's native controller with an #esp32 brainworm I can run #esphome on.

@unixorn There are a few designs available to build, if you have access to a 3D printer. Only for indoor aquariums, though.
I'm personally looking for something that I can deploy on my outside pond, so if you happen to find something that works for exterior applications, please let me know.
@nanianmichaels I'm looking to do it for a couple of indoor neocaridina tanks.
I'll definitely post whatever I find on this thread. If it's enough stuff to warrant a blog post, I'll link to it here after I write it.
Which designs have you found for 3d printing? I don't have a 3d printer but have a friend with one I could probably bribe into printing something.
I think I mainly need the dispensing part and a clamp assembly to let me put it on the side of the aquarium. I can probably use a plastic food container as the hopper.
@unixorn Apologies for the delay, I forgot to press "send" on the reply... 😅
The most promising ones seem to be these:

Do note that I haven't tried any of them.
Thanks, that's a good list for me to start looking at
@unixorn @esp32 @esphome @homeassistant @aquarium @nanotank @shrimptank I don't have one in use but #aliexpress lists a couple of "smart fish feeders" that support #tuya
Integrate using #tuyalocal and a firewall rule to block outbound traffic. Done.

❗Probably the most promising solution using #esphome
