Terrible tech support who doesn’t understand technology
I used to love these and recommend them to everyone. Not anymore. All 3 feeders stopped working and I got stuck talking to a tech support guy who clearly doesn’t understand technology. Buy Petlibro instead.
I have 3 Connect feeders. One for each cat. The scales aren’t perfect and I’ve always had small issues from time to time. Annoying for the price, but they got the job done. All of a sudden yesterday, all 3 of my feeders stopped working. None of them will open when the cats try to eat. Tried resetting them, but that didn’t actually reset them. Tried deleting one to re-add the feeder, it won’t connect to the hub even though it’s online. Called support for help, and after repeating the issue several times, I was told that the sensors on all 3 feeders stopped working. All at the same time. The chances of that happening are so rare. When I asked how that explains why the 3rd one won’t connect to the hub I was told the same sensors for the microchips send signals to the hub. That’s not how it works but the guy refused to believe me. Whatever issues is happening is software, but I was basically told all 3 feeders went faulty at the exact same time and they couldn’t help me. My units are less than 4 years old. I guess I’ll just have to manually feed my cats until the new Petlibro feeders release because I’ll be switching companies.
TL:DR - software malfunction happened making 3 feeders stop working. Was blamed on the sensors and told they couldn’t help.

Curfew is Irritating
The curfew facility is really annoying. The start time and end time is reset to the default of 00:00 to 00:02 each time the curfew is changed and applied. Why not remember the time of the last curfew and use that for next time?
Amazing product from an amazing company
I can’t fault the products or the company. The cat flap is so convenient and helps us to know exactly what’s happening at home when we’re not there, it helps us to monitor the cats movements through day and night and we’d be lost without it. Every single time we’ve asked for anything Sure Petcare have gone above and beyond to help. Highly recommended

Software needs a little work
It sometimes does not record the times our animals come in and out accurately and sometimes it misses them entirely. Other than that we love it.
Problems since update
It appears that since the latest update I have lost the ability to update my cats location to inside/outside. Also all ways of locking and changing curfews etc. terrible service.
