I totally agree. Basically, we are feeding them from Monday to Friday. No food during weekends. We practice this for 2 years and that's fine. But yes, 2 weeks might be fatal.

And for light, we use also timer. Something like this https://cdn.alza.cz/ImgW.ashx?fd=f4&cd=SD030c&i=1.jpg
But if there is a power strike, timer is not synchronised then. So it happen to us, that there was a light during night and no light during the day. So maybe we will change it to Raspberry too. Because it has always correct time after internet connection is back.
