In this video I go over a method to replace the Petnet.io feeder electronics with a different app enabled WiFi board which will directly control the motor. Using this method you set the Inching setting in the e-welink app to determine the amount of seconds the motor spins, which determines the amount of food that comes out. You set a schedule and each of those scheduled times the inching setting is used. You will need some hardware from Amazon to make this happen. (It's also a great project to do with your kids.) There are pros and cons... No more Petnet app. It would tell you when the food bin is empty... You won't get that. But you won't have to pay Petnet $30 a year to use hardware you already bought from them (that should work).
