Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Yuposl Automatic Cat Feeder, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Feeder not dispensing food.	Food container is empty. Food chute is clogged. Feeder is disconnected from power or WiFi. Incorrect schedule settings.	Refill food container. Check for blockages in the food chute and clear them. Ensure kibble size is appropriate. Verify power connection and check WiFi status in the app. Reconnect if necessary. Review and adjust feeding schedules in the app.
App shows "Offline" or cannot connect.	WiFi signal is weak or disconnected. Incorrect WiFi password entered during setup. Router issues.	Ensure feeder is within WiFi range. Verify WiFi password and re-attempt connection in the app. Restart your home router. Confirm your router supports 2.4GHz or 5GHz (both are supported by the feeder).
Camera image is unclear or dark.	Low light conditions (night vision should activate). Camera lens is dirty. Network bandwidth issues.	Ensure night vision is enabled in app settings if applicable. Gently clean the camera lens with a soft cloth. Check your internet speed and ensure other devices are not consuming excessive bandwidth.
Notifications not received.	App notification settings are disabled. Phone's system notifications are disabled for the app. Feeder is offline.	Enable notifications within the Smart Pet Feeder app. Check your phone's system settings to allow notifications from the app. Ensure the feeder is connected to WiFi.
Portion sizes seem too small or too large.	Kibble size varies. Serving size setting needs adjustment.	Use a kitchen scale to measure actual dispensed portions and adjust the number of servings in the app accordingly. Experiment with different serving counts to find the ideal amount for your pet's food type.
