## Project name: Barkr ## Project name: Barkr
- A pet-tracking IoT device without the need for embedded GPS - location is tracked using AirTag-style broadcasts and the FindMy network, significantly improving battery life.
- Various sensors (accelerometer, temperature, humidity) are connected to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, allowing real-time monitoring of pet's health and environment metrics.
- Data is processed and stored using a backend written in Python Flask and Firebase.
- User app, written in Flutter, allowing the user to see the current location of their pet, alongside air and skin temperature, humidity, and step count.
