Usage / Scheduling

Once paired, you can trigger manual feeds by switching the toggle(located to the right of the inD connect name you created during pairing) to ON for longer than 10 seconds.

To create a schedule, open the inD connect settings by tapping the name you created previously.

1.  Open the schedule menu in the bottom right.

2.  Select the hour and minute you want the aF4 to trigger.  Its in 24 hour time format so anything 0-12 is AM and 13-23 is PM.  If you'd like it to repeat daily, open the "Repeat" menu and select all the days you'd like it to repeat.

3.  Every "ON" event needs an "OFF" event 1 minute after the scheduled feed time.  Failure to add an "OFF" event will prevent subsequent scheduled feeds from the inD connect.

You can also integrate the inD connect with Alexa™, Siri™, or Google Home™ to trigger feed cycles, schedule automated feedings or integrate with other smart home devices.  Check out the sections dedicated to linking these smart home assistants for detailed instructions.
