Is it possible to teach the bot to teach chickens not to eat the veggies? I’m thinking a quick squirt of water to the face whenever they get too close might do the trick. Chickens are surprisingly trainable – we eventually taught them to stay off our deck for example by throwing a sandal at them whenever they forget the rules. But teaching them not munch on yummy seedlings would take a bot’s persistence I think.
Hahaha that would be a pretty fun feature - though I would use it on my roommates!
Right now sequences can only be executed if they are scheduled or if the user “tests” them from the web app. So there is no way currently to execute a sequence (spray water) based on an external input happening at a random time such a sensor detecting a chicken. But that’s a neat idea we can put in our long-term roadmap.
I imagine it would be something like IFTTT recipes, where the user would specify a trigger and the resulting sequence that should be executed. The controller would then be constantly monitoring for that trigger.
