Thanks a lot, that is really helpful!

Ray, this sounds like an interesting project. In the meantime I found out that it’s a cat, not a dog. Shit is still shit though. 😉 Funny thing is that since the camera is pointing at the defacation area the cat has yet to come back. It only visited once since I put the camrera there, and without leaving something behind. I will keep the camera for a while to see if this persists. Still I would be interested how your project comes along. It would be cool if you could keep me updated.

Thanks, but I was hoping that there is something easy to integrate without interfering too much with my current setup. Right now I have ordered another IP cam to see which dog(s) is/are visiting our lawn. Maybe I can contact the owner then and do it low tech. 😉

Thanks, I haven’t thought about it that way. Good idea. The problem is that my OS and the outdoor valves are very far away from the “dog shit area”, they are exactly on the opposite side of our house so I would have to run wires for the sensor all around it. This would be really messy. That’s why I would prefer something like a WLAN motion sensor which would trigger an URL or similar so that the OS runs a dedicated program.
