HoneyGuaridan S25 Smart Automatic WiFi Feeder Review

HoneyGuaridan S25 Smart Feeder

UPDATE: THIS AUTOMATIC FEEDER HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED.

I was asked to make a review of the HoneyGuaridan S25 Smart Wifi Automatic feeder and my first impression is that the unit is well constructed, with modern design, and has good capacity.

Unlike the classic HoneyGuaridan Anmer A25, the S25 version allows you to manage the feeder from wherever you are with your Smartphone.

KEY FEATURES

  • Compatible with Operating System: Apple iOS 9.0+ / Android OS 4.0+
  • Requires a standard Wi-Fi connection under 2.4 GHz.
  • App allows you to customize portions from (5g to 150g)
  • You can program as many meals as you want per day.
  • Hopper capacity 10.5lbs – 12.5lbs dry food
  • Suitable for kibble size between 1/8″ – 5/8″ diameter.
  • Powered with USB cable, compatible with any cell phone charger above 5V/1A (including your power bank)
  • Anti-bite USB cable, safe for pets
  • Voice recorder
  • BPA free materials, FDA certification approved
  • Removable food hopper and food tray for easy cleaning
  • 18 month limited warranty and customer support for the product lifetime.

WHAT COMES IN THE BOX

  • HoneyGuaridan S25 Smart Automatic Feeder
  • Buckle piece
  • USB cable
  • User Manual

HOW TO SET UP THE HONEYGUARIDAN S25 SMART FEEDER

Step 1. First, you need to plug the USB cable into the unit. The USB cable is compatible with phone chargers above 5V/1A and USB wall chargers, including portable power banks.

Step 2. Open the drawer, remove the plastic tray and install the buckle inside the drawer to keep it from being pushed in when your pet eats. Put the tray back in (you can do this step later if you want).

Step 3. Download the Feedwell App “ALNpet”. Scan the QR code on the User Manual or download it manually by searching HoneyGuaridan App.

Step 4. Open an Account. Sign up by entering your e-mail and password

Step 5. Add Your Pet Information. Your pet’s name, gender, breed, birthday, weight.

Step 6. Link the Device to the App. Press the “Device” button to scan the QR code that is on the back of the User Manual.

Step 7. Connect to Wi-Fi. Push the button located in front of the feeder for 3 seconds and release it, it will show a red light blinking, then press again and release it and it will show a green light blinking. Once the green light is blinking you need to press the gear icon on your App and press Wi-Fi. Enter the password of your Wi-Fi and the unit will be connected to the Wi-Fi.

Wait for red light and then Green light

WHAT’S IN THE “ALNpet” HONEYGUARIDAN APP:

HOMEPAGE
– A mail icon (system message): Here you will see a message in case a feeding failed.
– Fast Feed icon: To trigger meals in real time.
– A gear icon: It displays the Feed Plan and the Wi-Fi network.

DEVICE
– To screen the QR code and link it to the App

SELF
– Pet Management: It shows the pet’s information you entered when you opened the account. You can edit it and change it if needed.
– My account: It displays the button “Change e-mail”, “Change name” or “Change password”. Here you can press the picture to upload your cat’s picture.
– Change Language: If you need to use another language.
– Q&A: In case you have some questions how to connect the feeder.
– About us: Customer service info.

HOW TO PROGRAM IT

You can program many feeding times with custom portions and schedule. The App uses military hours from 1 to 24 (0:0) hours. You need to choose the hour, then the minutes and finally the amount of each meal. The amounts are shown in grams. The minimum amount for a portion is 5 grams (which is a teaspoon), and the maximum is 150 grams (about 5.3 Oz).

PROGRAMMING A FEED PLAN

Go to Home/push gear icon/Feed Plan/Push “+” Sign. Here you need to select the plan details so you slide up or down to the time you want your cat to eat, from (12 am) to 12 pm. Then choose the minutes and then choose the amount. Push OK and then Confirm. This way you’ve registered one feeding time on the feed plan. Do this step as many times as you want to feed your cat in 24 hours.

Check the following video where I show how to do it (the video is a little blurry, sorry about it :-P):

I created this chart to help you with military time:

FAST FEED FUNCTION

Fast Feed is feeding your cat in real time so you can trigger a meal if you want your cat to eat an extra portion or snack. To do this simply push the Fast Feed button and the screen will display a circle that you slide to choose the amount of food you want to feed your cat, wait a little for the App to save this amount and then push the circle inside and wait for the feeder to get the signal and a second after the feeder will dispense the food for your cat.

I made a video for you to see how it works (sorry for the blur):

VOICE MESSAGE

You can record a voice message calling your pet to eat. Personally, I decided not to use it because it was a little loud for me.

HOW THE FEEDING MECHANISM WORKS

The food hopper is removable and it features an opening that allows the food to drop into a wheel mechanism with indentations that allows the food to move forward. Each compartment holds about 5 grams of food and the wheel rotates to complete the portion you program. The mechanism is very accurate, you could see in my video where I triggered a 7-gr meal in real time and it was pretty accurate.

 HOW TO PROGRAM TWO FEEDERS

If you want to buy two Honey Guaridan units you don’t need to upload the App twice. You can use the same App and only create two different users (which is your pet’s name). You need to scan the QR code of both feeders to bind the units with the App. Then you can switch between pets and make the settings of each pet’s feeding schedule.

PROS & CONS OF HONEYGUARIDAN S25 WI-FI PET FEEDER

PROS

  • Well constructed
  • Nice modern and clean design
  • App compatible with iOS and Android
  • Easy to connect to the App and Wi-Fi
  • You can program 2 feeders with the same App.
  • Easy to program
  • You can custom portions from a minimum of 5 grams up to 150 grams.
  • You can set as many feeding times as you want for your cat to eat every day
  • Very accurate
  • Chute is cat-proof
  • It allows you to feed your cat small portions of food at a time several times a day
  • You can change the feeding schedule from anywhere on your Smartphone
  • You can trigger meals in real time
  • If a feeding fails, you will receive a message.
  • You can record a voice message calling your cat to eat.

CONS

  • It doesn’t come with AC adapter, you need to use a cellphone charger with AC plug
  • It doesn’t have a webcam
  • It doesn’t have backup battery option
  • The tray/drawer could be too narrow for a big headed cat. My cat is medium size and she eats fine, but a bigger cat may need a little wider bowl.

CONCLUSION

HoneyGuaridan S25 is nice designed Wi-Fi automatic feeder. I had no problem downloading the App, linking the unit to the App and connecting the feeder to my Wi-Fi network. The programming is easy and very straightforward, you can program as many meals as you need daily and the portions are flexible.

√ I highly recommend this feeder to any cat and especially to:

  • Cats that need to eat small portions, several times a day
  • Cats that eat too fast and then vomit
  • Chubby cats on a diet

      Hello Marzena, that has never happened to me. I have always been able to connect the feeder with the App. You need to contact customer service because it may be some type of software glitch. Sorry I can’t do more, I hope you get a solution for this.

      Hello Marie, In my case I decided not to record a voice message with my feeder. You can record silence on top of the previous voice and it will just play no sound.

    Hello. I have the samer problem with resetting. No reply from seller. Whats more: The weight of the portions is not always correct, can differ up to 50 %. Look around for another product.

      Hello Toni, you don’t need to reset the feeder. If you want to undo the settings simply erase the programming on the App by sliding the mealtime to the left. It will be automatically deleted. Regarding the portions I am sorry it didn’t work out for you. My feeder works well and the portions are not exactly accurate but at the end of the day my cat eats the total daily intake I programmed. The portion that doesn’t get dispensed it gets dispensed in the next meals.

      Hello gonzales, are you trying to connect using 2.4G wifi band? If not, you won’t be able to connect to Wifi, your phone needs to be connected to the Wifi network to connect to the feeder.

      Hello, Guido, this automatic feeder has been discontinued so the App is not in the iOS store anymore. You can download the app on a website but I don’t recommend it since the App hasn’t been updated since 2018. I am sorry I couldn’t help you more.
