Very happy with PLAF203 feeders after fixing connectivity issue.
Overall, I’m very happy with the two PLAF230 cat feeders I installed a week ago. They offer excellent control over portion sizes, feeding times, and include a sound alert to let the cats know when it’s mealtime. I did run into some WiFi connectivity issues at first. I initially set them up to connect to an access point located one floor above. Even though my phone showed a strong signal while standing next to the feeders, the live view and saved videos often failed to load, displaying a “failed to load with network exception” error. It seems the feeders’ network radios aren’t very strong. To fix this, I moved the access point into the same room—within 10 feet of the feeders—and everything now works reliably. Live view connects consistently, and I can access saved videos without issues. I recommend using an SD card instead of their expensive cloud service. (Even with this option selected, the cloud ad annoyingly pops up every time I select “view videos”). I’m using 64GB cards (2 for $12 at Walmart), which seem to provide about two months of recordings before needing to reformat—plenty for our needs. It’s also convenient that you can reformat the cards remotely. So to conclude, after fixing the network issue, very happy with the product.
