What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.

Product Description

Do you spend way too much time at work while your pet stays alone at home? Make its life a lot easier with this smart assistant. This clever dispenser ensures that it always has fresh granules in its bowl. What is more, thanks to an integrated camera, you can always have a look at what it is doing at any time.

Feeding to the stock.
The dispenser comes with a large container for granules that can hold up to 4 liters of food. With standard-sized meals, the supply is enough for up to 10 servings, which should keep your pet fed for about 3–5 days. The container can hold any granules up to 10 mm of size.

No more overfeeding.
Does your pet eat all its food as soon as you put it in its bowl in the morning? With this smart dispenser, you will split the granules into a couple of servings throughout the day. What is more, there is a mobile app (available in English for both iOS and Android) that allows you to set feeding times and sizes of servings.

It works even when there is a power failure.
Thanks to the backup battery, the dispenser can also work when there is no current, so you do not need to worry about your pet being hungry at any point. The LR20 (D) type battery that powers the device can be bought in any regular hobby market.

Smart feeding.
The smart feeder is connected to Wi-Fi and can be easily controlled via a mobile app. In addition, it is equipped with a microphone and a speaker so that you can listen to what is going on around the device at any time or talk to your cat or dog yourself.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly from this network.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

  1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
  2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
  3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
  4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
  5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
  6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing
