Acquainting your pet with the device
Some pets need a bit of time to get used to the new automatic
feed dispenser. Therefore we recommend the following:
• Place the automatic feed dispenser near your dog's or cats's
normal feed bowl without switching it on.
• At the start, fill the normal bowl as well as the bowl of the
automatic feed dispenser with food.
• Once your pet has become used to the automatic feed dispen-
ser, you can remove the normal bowl.
To awaken your pet's curiosity, place a few treats in the bowl of
the automatic feed dispenser to start with.
Cleaning
Switch the automatic feed dispenser off and unplug it. Take the
feed bowl out. To do that, press the buttons on the right and
left to release the bowl. Pull the feed container out upwards.
The parts can be cleaned with water (not dishwasher safe). The
station should not be cleaned with water, simply wipe it with a
damp cloth. Feed container and bowl should be completely dry
before you fill in new food.
Tips for Using IoT Devices
• Update the software of your device when security updates
become available.
• Change the default passwords and use the password manager
and a two-factor authentication if desired.
• Activate the firewall of your router
• Create a separate WLAN for IoT devices to run the IoT devices
in a separate network that has no connection to sensitive data
or other devices such as your computer.
• Activate encryption of the communication of IoT devices.
• Connect your IoT devices only to the internet when remote
access is absolutely necessary.
• Use VPN for a secure connection to your home network when
you are away from home
• If the setting UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is activated on
your router, you should deactivate this to stop your IoT devices
from communicating unchecked on the internet.
• Ensure that unauthorized access to your devices is impossible
or extremely difficult and no changes to your hardware can be
made from outside.
• USB or LAN ports should not be freely accessible as they can
serve as gateways into your network and to your data for atta-
ckers.
• Consider any passing on of personal data carefully and protect
your privacy.
• Consider carefully when security is more important than com-
fort and functionality.
The device is operated with the App "Tuya Smart" from Tuya
