FAQ

The Unit is offline

That the feeder loses connection to your home's router will cause the device get offline. Possible causes for this problem include:

1. The power supply of the feeder was disconnected. If it happens, your router will not work and your Feeder will switch to battery power. If there are no batteries installed, then your device will cease working until power is restored. Before the batteries die, the Feeder will operate normally. However, the App will be unable to connect to your device. Records of feeding during this time will be labeled as "unknown". (Note: once the internet connection is restored, you will only be able to update a maximum of 10 feeding records, and during this time you will be unable to adjust the feeding schedule.)
2. The internet in your home was disconnected (this can be caused by a number of reasons, such as your internet provider cutting service). If this happens, the feeder will continue to operate as normal, but the App will not be able to track your feeder's status. Any feeding logs from this period will be marked as "unknown". (Note: After the connection to the internet is restored, you will only be able to update a maximum of 10 feeding logs, and at during this time you will be unable to adjust the feeding schedule.)

The Unit is not dispensing food correctly

The feeder uses fixed volume to determine the servings of food it dispenses. Each serving is approximately 10g. The actual weight of each serving is affected by the size and density of the food pellets. When the food storage container is full, each serving is relatively consistent in weight. In most cases, you can adjust the amount dispensed in your settings. When the food level is low, the portion size may shrink. Please make sure there is always enough food in the food storage container.
