How Configuration Windows Work

You decide when and how often you need access to your feeder. It's all about the tradeoff between convenience and battery life.

🚫 OFF

Best for: Maximum battery life

WiFi only turns on during scheduled feeding times. Connect while feeder is actively feeding to make changes.

Battery impact: Minimal

📅 FOLLOW SCHEDULE

Best for: Most users

Configure up to 2 time windows per day (e.g., 8am & 6pm for 10 min each). Choose which days of the week each window is active.

Battery impact: 10 min/day = ~1% per month

🔄 ALWAYS ON

Best for: Solar/large battery setups

WiFi stays on continuously. Connect anytime, make changes immediately. Ideal for troubleshooting or frequent adjustments.

Battery impact: Significant (solar recommended)

💡 Pro Tip: Start Conservative

Start with one weekly window (e.g., Sunday 8am for 10 minutes). You can always increase frequency later. With solar or a large battery pack, set it to whatever works best for you.

ℹ️ Important: Your Feeder Always Runs

Configuration Windows are an optional convenience feature, not required for the feeder to operate.

The feeder will always feed per the schedule you set. Configuration windows are only for checking status remotely or updating schedules and preferences.

You can always physically power cycle the controller to connect at will and change settings or review the event log.

Some users may never need to access the controller again once the feeding schedule is configured - it just keeps running as long as it has power.
