Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Feeder disconnects from WiFi / App shows offline | Unstable 2.4GHz WiFi signal; 5GHz network used; network changes. | Ensure your WiFi is 2.4GHz. Check router for stable connection. If network settings changed, re-pair the device following the setup guide. Move feeder closer to router if signal is weak. |
| Food gets stuck or dispenses unevenly | Kibble size too large or irregular; food type not suitable; internal mechanism blockage. | Use kibble within the recommended size (2-10mm). Ensure only dry food is used. Clean the feeder thoroughly, especially the dispensing mechanism, to remove any blockages. |
| Camera image is dark at night / No night vision | Feeder does not have infrared night vision. | The built-in camera provides HD real-time video but does not feature infrared night vision. Ensure adequate lighting in the room for clear viewing. |
| Difficulty scanning QR code during setup | Incorrect distance or lighting; screen glare. | Hold your phone 10-15cm (4-6 inches) from the feeder camera. Ensure good lighting and minimize screen glare. Try adjusting the screen brightness. |
