Hi lisarden, I'm not sure if you watched the whole video or went through our website but you can have personal feeding schedule for your pet, for automated feeding.
So, from the video/website, you can see that it will automatically feed 3/4 cup of food at 6 am, 1/2 cup of food at 2 pm, and another 1/2 cup of food at 7:30 pm. The "feed now" button was intended to be used so that you can see your pet come to the feeder and check up on your pet through the webcam feature, which overrides whatever next personal feeding schedule you had for your pet. Please let me know if you have any other concerns or suggestions. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you. On Monday, March 31, 2014 8:57:57 AM UTC-4, lisarden wrote: > > And what is automated there?
