Aqara C1 Pet Feeder

We got two of the Aqara C1 pet feeders for Christmas at our house. Running ZHA on a CC2652 adapter. I have an automation that feeds from both at 4,8,12am and 4,8,12pm. This works perfectly. But, one of the feeders has fed every morning at 6am from day one. I have reset it and re-added twice to no avail. In the logbook it says: “Last Feeding Source changed to undefined_0x00”. Any thoughts?

I have 2 of these and had exactly the same problem, I am assuming you are doing the feeding through an automation, as I started by using the schedule, then deleted that and did it through HA, still didn’t work then came across a weird thing on you tube, if your change the mode to Schedule reboot, then back to Manual and reboot, it has now been working beautifully for months.

Thanks. I did as you suggested. It’s 6:06am and it appears to have worked.

How did you get the C1 to bind with ZHA?

I set the pairing mode on the feeder than just got ZHA to search for it.

link?

if your change the mode to Schedule reboot, then back to Manual and reboot

rebooting the device? home assistant?

I initially set mine up and its been dispensing food every hour. Dont know how to stop it from doing so as I dont have an Aqara hub.

Hold the round icon button down on the front for 5 seconds until the LED flashes.

My HA found it instantly.

Not sure what the OP did, but I changed the mode to schedule and then power cycled the feeder, then changed it to manual and power cycled again - so far it seems good, but it also hasn’t been 24 hours…

If it’s dispensing every hour, you might want to try clearing it by holding the reset button for 5 seconds (though note you’ll have to re-pair it)
