| * **Proximity-Based Feeding (V0):** When enabled, the distance sensor monitors for movement within a predefined range (<10 cm). If the cooldown period has passed, the system automatically activates the servo to dispense food when the cat is nearby. Proximity-based feeding can be enabled or disabled within the Blynk architecture. | * **Proximity-Based Feeding (V0):** When enabled, the distance sensor monitors for movement within a predefined range (<10 cm).
