As human intervention is required anyway to open the door, why have inside box and outside box? There can be just one big box with pet detection and an SMS that says 'Pet at door'.
Nevertheless, this is a cool project, and the explanation in
the YouTube video is even nicer, informative, and succinct.
One addition could be to have a motion sensor outside the door to turn on the light outside, so that this project can work even during late evenings/nights.
