Dogs give us joy and teach responsibility. Four-legged friends require a lot of attention and care. It is good, when the owners have unlimited time to devote it to their fluffy pets. However, not everyone can boast that he has so much free time. If you often have to be absent, then who is walking with your dog? Wayzn Inc. from Los Altos (USA) introduced a novelty - an automatic door opener Wayzn for sliding door for a private home that works remotely, guided through the program and will help to let your pets come to house and release them out when they want. No more pet's nurses and no stress for your animals or for you.

Features of the novelty

Usually, in the US, slots in the lower part of the front door are covered with rubber or plastic curtains on the size of your dog or cat. They are used when the animal wants to go outdoors for a walk. For animals, it is not particularly difficult to open such a curtain. However, there are hidden risks to your home, as there is a growing likelihood of being robbed during your absence. In addition, in the winter, the entrance door is not hermetically closed, which contributes to the leakage of heat from the room, and hence, an increase in the cost of heating the house.

American engineers have long been engaged in home pet developments so that people do not have to choose between enjoying a good friend and security. Thus, the automatic door closer Wayzn of sliding doors, which is installed in just 3 minutes, is controlled by a mobile application and freely integrated into the system of "smart home". The novelty can be installed both from the inside and outside of the house. For this purpose, it uses special plastic, which is not afraid of sunlight and weather surprises in the form of rain or snow.

It is easy to install without requiring you to have any special knowledge or installation skills. In this case, there is no need to punch holes in the door box - all parts are attached to the walls with a reliable adhesive base. In the Wayzn application, you can configure the full automatization of the door opening process. Built-in motion sensors will react to your pet, automatically opening and closing the door behind it. If you are afraid that someone now can get into your house, then install a camcorder in front of him, synchronize his work, and then, when your pet wants to go outside or go in, you will receive a message on your smartphone with a video of your dog, which requires him to let in.

The application is securely protected by working on a commercial IoT platform. In addition to authenticating your smartphone, the application requires additional user identification to open the door. Novelty works with voice assistants Amazon Alexa and Google Home for remote control of embedded features. You can choose the maximum opening width of the door to fit your pet - 5, 30.5 or 46 cm. Now you do not have to worry that the door will stand on the wall, attracting robbers. If the dog is stuck in the doorway, the door will go back a few centimeters to allow it to free up and exit. A regular electrical outlet powers the device itself.

Wayzn has a very modest size - 5 * 10 * 46 (61) cm (width of the bracket * its height * length of the telescopic closing device for different width of the doorway). The weight of the device is only about 2.7 kg. The novelty is made of a combination of aluminum components and composite plastic to ensure reliability, ease of use, and resistance to various types of influences (physical or climatic).
