AQARA Smart Pet Feeder C1 – The smart feeder for cats and small dogs

Aqara Smart Pet Feeder C1 is an automatic feeder with genuine smart functions: it connects to your smart home ecosystem via Zigbee 3.0, can be controlled remotely, runs local automations and even works as a Zigbee repeater to extend your smart home network.

Key features:

Broad compatibility
Works with the most popular ecosystems: Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT – through scenes configured in the Aqara Home app.

Zigbee 3.0 protocol
Provides a stable, fast and energy-efficient connection – ideal for reliable smart devices, with long-term support and extended functionality.

Scheduled and remote feeding
You can set personalised feeding schedules, even when you are away from home. The feeder stays permanently connected to the Aqara hub.

Smart automations
Create complex scenes in the Aqara Home app: feeding based on the pet's presence, at a set time or as part of a complete routine.

Backup battery and local automations
Works both on USB-A power and on type D (LR20) batteries. Unlike other feeders, it keeps working offline – even if the hub or the internet connection goes down.

Zigbee repeater function
The device can act as a Zigbee repeater, extending the signal to other, more distant Aqara devices.

4-litre container
Suitable for cats and dogs up to 15 kg, the container holds approx. 1,7 kg of food – enough for a 4 kg cat for one month.

Keeps food dry and fresh
Includes a desiccant to absorb moisture. The lid has an anti-spill system to prevent losses if the unit is tipped.

Personalised voice messages
You can record a voice message to be played when food is dispensed – perfect for calling your pet to the bowl.

Safe, easy-to-clean design
The parts in contact with food are made from safe materials: stainless steel bowl, plastic container, rubber dispensing wheel – all easy to remove and wash.

Examples of smart automations:

1. Checking food consumption with Camera G3
   The camera automatically turns towards the feeder when food is dispensed, records a clip and marks it on the timeline.

2. Detecting the pet's presence
   The motion sensor checks whether the pet approaches after food has been dispensed. If not, no second portion is given.

3. Feeding only when you are out
   When you are not at home (detected by a presence sensor), the pet is fed automatically. If you are at home, you can feed manually.

4. HomeKit integration via a special automation
   Even though HomeKit does not support feeders directly, you can create a workaround using the Hub M1S: set the brightness to 1% to trigger feeding.
