I am planning to buy a connected cat feeder to give the little monster dry food when I’m away. The main goal is to be sure that I see the level going down after each portion given, so that I am sure the cat gets to it and that the device is not malfunctioning because of a power outage, food getting stuck or something like this.
I am not looking for super fancy models. I have seen so far the Aqara Pet Feeder C1 (92.-), Xiaomi Feeder 2nd gen (53.-).
Is there other you would recommend ?
Thanks in advance and have a nice day
I tried making a custom integration for this Philips feeder, reversing engineering the API, but didn’t figure out fully how I wanted the information to show up like events.
I didn’t manage to get the camera feed working, that is using some other protocol I wasn’t able to get (yet)
Got a first version for people interested to try out! Sadly some of the controls are Tuya exclusive, so it needs a rooted phone (afaik) to get the needed key for those.
The devices, meal schedules, events, powering off and disable/enable motion notifications are available!
Feel free to leave feedback or changes you would like to see, and i’ll look into it
