FAQ

I. The Feeder Mini has lost its internet connection:

That the Feeder loses connection to your home’s router will cause the device get offline. Possible causes for this problem include:
1. Electricity has gone out in your home. 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 connection has been interrupted in your home (this could be due to reasons such as your internet provider cutting internet service to your home). During this time, the Feeder will continue to 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.)

II. The Feeder Mini is not dispensing food properly:

In order to dispense food on a specific schedule, the feeder dispenses a set amount of food each serving. Each serving is approximately 5g. The actual weight of each serving may vary depending on the type of food, the size of each pebble, and the density of the food. 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.
