Upon powering, the device will begin setting itself up. This should take around 30 seconds. The indicator light will then start flashing and the voice prompt, “Ready to be connected” will be heard. The device is now ready to connect to the Kogan Smarter Home™ app.
Using the wall mount
If you would like to hang the treat dispenser on a wall, use the provided wall mount.
• Peel the adhesive off the back of the wall mount and stick the wall mount in the desired position. Secure the treat dispenser onto the wall mount with the wall hooks.
Note: It is recommended the treat dispenser be located about 1.2m above the ground. This ensures pets do not touch the treat dispenser and allows the best viewing angle for the camera.

dim the light.

FAQ
How do you reset the treat dispenser if it is already paired to a Wi-Fi network?
– Press and hold the button on the reset button for 5 seconds. When you hear the prompt, “Device has been reset”, the device will restart. After the system restarts, you will hear “Ready to be connected”. You may then connect the treat dispenser to a new Wi-Fi network.
What should I do if the QR code cannot be scanned by the treat dispenser or cannot be paired?
– If the device does not sound an audio prompt and fails to recognise the QR code, use the AP mode connection method to pair the treat dispenser.
Why does the video interface turn black and white?
– When the treat dispenser’s light sensor detects insufficient light around
it, it will
automatically turn on the infrared light and enter the night vision mode where
the footage filmed will be in black and white. When there is sufficient light,
the treat dispenser will exit night vision mode and return to full colour
video.
– It is recommended to keep enough light in front of the lens and avoid
objects blocking it to prevent the treat dispenser from entering night vision
mode in a well-lit environment.
Why is the speaker volume so low?
Check the app permissions and ensure the speaker is enabled on the Kogan Smarter Home™ app.
Why is the treat dispenser unable to take photos or videos?
– Check the app permissions and ensure the camera is enabled for the Kogan Smarter HomeTM app.
Why is there no notification when sharing the treat dispenser to other devices?
– The sharing function is sometimes delayed. Shared devices will need to
restart the
Kogan Smarter HomeTM app to accept the sharing invite.
Why does the treat dispenser disconnect and become offline from my device when sharing with other devices?
– The devices may not be on a stable network when sharing.
– Stop sharing and close the Kogan Smarter HomeTM app. Reopen the app and try
again.
What should I do if the indicator light starts flashing and the treat dispenser is not working properly?
– Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds. When you hear the voice prompt “Restore factory settings”, the treat dispenser will start to reset the system and reconnect the network.
