i’ve been asked to build a pet door for a friend. or more accurately, replace a current door with a new one which integrates pet access.

there’s a surprisingly substantial budget for the project. so the question is, do i give the client what she wants, to wit, a plain door with a hole in it covered by a flap…

or do i build an RFID/arduino-based automatic self-opening pet-sensing internet-enabled door which collects entry/exit data and can send text message updates on where the dog is at any particular moment?

serious question. and if you’ve ever installed either flavor, i want to hear from ya.
