SureFlap Microchip Pet Door Connect and Hub for Medium/Large Cat and Small Dog White

I see some comments here suggest there have been issues after a few months so I want to highlight I have had this foe three months Dec 23 to March 24. I have not used any curfews on the app but all alerts have been correct and the flap has always closed from what I am aware. I put a good set of batteries in the flap in late December and I have just got the warning that the batteries are low but still working, that makes it about 13 weeks in cold weather. I had issues linking this to my eero wifi mesh system, port forwarding did help but still the eero was throttling the connection so I had to connect the hub direct to my Virgin modem/router. I had had no issues with connect at all and the flap is in my shed which is about 14 metres away from the hub in the house. Personally apart from the hours I wasted setting it up due to my wifi system I have had no issues with this flap. You do really need to use good non rechargeable batteries unfortunately. I did try to use rechargeable batteries first but the flap kept on displaying low charge as rechargeable batteries are 1.2v not 1.5v. I'm only giving 4 stars as at this price there should be an option to plug this into the mains. I may even consider wiring up a 6v direct current source in the future.

While the product works ok. it has two quite major flaws. 1. If the wifi fails in any way while your cat is outside. they will be locked out. Same goes for if the batteries die. 2. The description states that the batteries will last for months. I have tried this with two sets of batteries and they didn't last a couple of weeks

Unfortunately I've had nothing but issues with the car flap. After a return because it was always logging the cats as gong out, after 4 months it simply stopped recognising my cats chips.

Worth the money in my opinion, love knowing when our cat has come in and when he has gone out just by checking my phone. Can easily check entry or exit history by phone notifications or looking at the app. Sometimes not knowing if he has been out all night is worrying but then reassured for example to see on my phone that he has been home and only left an hour ago. Peace of mind also knowing that only our cat can enter the cat flap due to the microchip. Curfew times work well if needed. The app notifies you also when batteries are running low. Long battery life. Only downside is setting up on the hub can be tricky, but once set up and connected to the hub all is good.

Saw a few mixed reviews but decided on it for our 2 kittens. Within 30 mins they had figured it out and happily in and out. The stats are great and it's really nice to see their movements.
