For those who don't know, this is an automatic feeder that uses an active RFID chipped collar that prevents one of your cats from stealing food and overeating.
The collar tags are billed as lasting one year, but we had to replace our every nine months or so. When the machine told us the battery was getting low, we went to their website to get a new one and they have no stock.
Every indication seems to be that the company went bankrupt and we are now stuck with a useless feeder that we spent over 150.00 dollars on.
I attempted to open the tag I had to replace the battery, but this had to be done destructively and I wasn't able to do it without damaging some components.
The product itself worked great, but due to the asshole design of making the batteries not user replaceable, it seems we will need to find a new solution. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about work arounds with other generic RFID technology?
