5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Feeder not connecting to App/WiFi | Incorrect WiFi band; incorrect password; feeder not in pairing mode; weak signal. | Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4Ghz network. Confirm WiFi password. Reset feeder to pairing mode. Move feeder closer to router. |
| Food not dispensing | Food hopper empty; food stuck; power issue; incorrect schedule. | Refill food. Check for blockages in the dispenser mechanism (suitable for dry food under 13mm). Verify power connection and battery backup. Review feeding schedule in the app. |
| Camera image is unclear or dark | Protective film on lens; low light conditions. | Remove any protective film from the camera lens. Ensure adequate lighting in the area where the feeder is placed. Note that the camera does not have night vision. |
| App feeding schedule limitations | App design limitation. | The app may have a limit on the total number of scheduled feedings per week. Adjust your feeding plan to fit within these limits or use manual feeding for additional meals. |
