Hi! Great video, first of all, but the use case described in the video is more suitable to an Arduino, which works on a microcontroller, making it a really good and inexpensive option for building these automated systems, a raspberry pi however works on a microprocessor which is more powerful and is generally used to build things like servers and entertainment systems.

The best part is when she calls the RPi affordable, as if scalpers haven't grabbed every one and made them unavailable at MSRP. Use an ESP32 and a breakout board for small projects like the one in the video or WLED. I use a Pi for an Octoprint server and a few other things (UniFi controller, wireless print server, etc.) but they aren't needed for low power applications.

Arduino is a microcontroller. The Rpis are SBCs (Single board computer), not SoC (System on a chip) which always includes a video output for example, has much more CPU power, and much more RAM and is capable of running a sophisticated OS. Except for the Pi Pico, which is a microcontroller. Controllers are much simpler.

Probably the most awkward explanation ever... Most people still don't have a dog and wouldn't know how to even get started with a project like that if they had a dog. "Just write some python code" lol Any idea how many programmers even don't know python? And there are so many more interesting things one can do with a pi than a dog treat dispenser. How about setting up your own ad-blocking service that works for every device on your home network, a VPN server that allows you safe access to your private files or even your own mail server? Just some of the things that a raspberry pi can easily do and requires a lot less skill than writing your own software. And all this on the power of a USB device for around $50 (add in a couple $/year for a domain name and you're all set).

To be honest, the word “affordable” is hardly applicable to raspberry pies these days.
