I noticed the spinning bowl and really liked that. In our family, if the cats can see the bottom of the bowl, they are convinced that they are starving. 🙃

[@HiveMindAutomation]

oh yes, this is cat logic. "I can see the bottom of the bowl! my human has forsaken me and left me to starve! my death is imminent! look at me I'm wasting away!"

[@CountZilch]

Cool video. Thanks. I have the Kogan one too. Very unreliable and camera doesn't work on IPv6. Nor in HA. I almost bought this one until realised it has no camera. I might check some other models.

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Yeah, we've been pretty happy with this ine and like the food weighing feature. The Camera ones don't seem to have the weighing feature and also don't seem to have the bowls mounted up higher for better ergonomics. Can't say I'll miss the camera at all.

I've seen you use a mac in a few of your videos. Did you know Mac OS has a built in screen reader called voice over?

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Indeed I do know that macOS contains a built-in screen reader called VoiceOver.

Just need one that drains water bowl and refills it on a schedule or am I being lazy? During hot days giving fresh while out of the home be good.

[@HiveMindAutomation]

I mean, it's dry food, so it shouldn't need frequent refreshing, but perhaps an integrated vacuum and trash bag compartment would be fun!

[@MartinHiggs84]

@@HiveMindAutomation that would be good. I'm thinking one that does cats 🐈 water bowl next 🤔
