@AdvocateAnarchy

I can't figure the code

Please be specific with your question, what issues do you have?
If you don't know how to code, you have to learn or just use the code as is if it suits your needs.

https://gist.github.com/ulitiy/a2b55c8d6ff86dca5956551208b76921

I bet this code will be much easier to understand.

This code you linked is much more noob-friendly :P I'll study it up. Thank you.

Hi, i m very much interested in this! I would like to make the esp connected to wifi and control the machine remotely via my mobile device! let s say I'm in a park and wanna use my phone to fed! please sempai teach me!

well @AtlasKaiser\ this is how you would make it for example with apple home kit use this link https://github.com/Mixiaoxiao/Arduino-HomeKit-ESP8266

then open the folder and open the project " Example06_makesmart_lock"
this is in the examples
then paste the code from here to control the servo:

#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo;

const int servoPin = 9;
const int ledPin = 13;

void setup() {
myservo.attach(servoPin);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
myservo.write(180);
delay(1000);
myservo.detach();
}

void loop() {
myservo.attach(servoPin);
myservo.write(30);
delay(575);
myservo.write(180);
delay(1500);
myservo.detach();
delay(3600000);
}

and there you go just enter your wifi username and password in the given space and pair. it is pretty simple to open the home app on an ios device then add accessory then select don't have the setup code and enter 12345678 it will take some time so keep your device close and you should have a fully working IOT cat feeder

make sure you use esp8266
I assume you know how to set it up with Arduino IDE
other things you should know if you unplug it then you will have to pair it one more I IDK why tho.
