6. Tap CONNECT NOW and select the hotspot of the automatic
feeder from the list of available WLAN networks: SmartLife_

EZ Mode (2.4 GHz only):
1. Reset the feeder by pressing and holding the SET button on
the top of the unit for 5+ seconds. An audible signal will sound
to confirm and after approximately half a minute, the green
indicator light (LINK) should begin to flash rapidly. (approx. 1 ×
per second)
Note: Please contact customer service([email protected])
if you do not hear a beep and the green indicator light does not
start flashing after the reset.

MERA (Wi-Fi) in the VIDEO MONITORING device category.

special characters.
5. The app will start the pairing process and should connect to the
feeder after a short wait.
Pairing again:
Please proceed as follows if you need to pair the automatic
feeder again - e.g. after moving house or assigning a new WLAN
password. Open the Tuya App home page and long tap on the
Pet Feeder icon to remove the device from the app. Caution -
all programmed feeding times will be lost. After that, wait for
about one minute until the green indicator light on the top of
the device starts blinking again. You can then repeat the pairing
process in AP or EZ mode.
Sharing the feeder:
Follow these steps to give another person access to your feeder:
• Tap the pencil icon in the upper right corner to enter the feeder
menu.
• Tap SHARE DEVICE > ADD SHARING, and then tap SHARE
WITH TUYA SMART ACCOUNT. Under ACCOUNT, now enter
the email address that the other person previously registered
with Tuya. Please note that the person you share the device
with in this way will have full access to it - including the camera
and microphone.
Note: It is also possible to log into the same Tuya account from
multiple devices. This is especially useful if you want to control
the autoatic feeder yourself from different mobile devices (e.g.
smar tablet).
Filling the feeder:
After successful pairing, you can fill the feeder with dry food.
The lid is unlocked by pressing the button on the lock. Under the
lid is the food bowl as well as the control panel. Insert the bowl
including the stainless steel insert into the bottom of the auto-
matic feeder. Press the buttons on the side of the bowl to insert
and remove it. After filling, trigger a manual feeding by briefly
pressing the SET button of the device once. This ensures that the
feeding mechanism of the machine is also filled with food.
The dry feed used should be at least 5 mm thick and should not
exceed a maximum diameter of 15 mm. A circular shape is pre-
ferable. Dry feed that is too flat, too large, unusually shaped or
very sticky can lead to a blockage in the conveying mechanism.
Please make sure that the food slides down properly in the bowl.
When in doubt, switch to a less sticky type of food if the food
accumulates in the top half of the bowl and blocks the outlet.
Programming the Feeding:
Click on SCHEDULED FEEDING and ADD FEEDING TIME to set
feeding times. Here you can set different times for feeding and
the days on which they should be repeated, if necessary. You
can also set the amount of portions dispensed for each feeding
time (1 portion= approx. 24 ml).
In the overview of the feeding times you can easily activate or
deactivate individual feedings.
Manual feeding:
• Press FEEDING and select the number of portions to be dis-
pensed immediately.
• Press LOCKCALL to record a 10 second voice memo. This will be
played at all feeding times to get your pet's attention.
• You can view all previous feeding times under FEEDING PROGRAM.
Video transmission and voice recordings:
• If you want to take a screenshot of the image shown by the
camera, click PHOTO.
• If you want to communicate with your pet at home click
MICROPHONE.
• To record a video, tap VIDEO.
• Under ALARM, you can activate the camera's motion detection
to receive a notification when your pet approaches the feeder.
Other settings:
There are other setting options in the top right menu. You can
change the name of the device, share it or connect Amazon
Echo. It is also possible to remove the device here. Motion
detection as well as infrared night vision can be turned on and
off as desired.
