What HA-compatible cat feeder to get in 2024?

Hardware

Hi,

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

There is one from versuni:

This way your data is hosted in the EU. There is no HA integration yet so that might be a dealbreaker.

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)

You did ask for off-the-shelf products but I’ll share my 3D printed solution anyhow :smiley: Maybe it inspires you or others
