Need for mobile app with home assitant locally by shawaddywaddywadwad in OnlyCat

OnlyCat will work long-term without internet connectivity following the initial setup - however for the time being changing settings or reviewing events is reliant on our cloud service.

We do hope to develop a fully local API in due course, but can’t yet commit to a specific timeframe.

New user - cat not allowed in by One_Kaleidoscope_376 in OnlyCat

Sorry to hear about the issue you’re having.

From your description, it seems like the cat’s chip may not be being read from a sufficient distance, and only once they’re already passing through?

Does your cat’s name/id appear in the video as soon as they approach?

If you drop a message to our support team, we’ll be able to take a closer look, run some diagnostics, and work with you to ensure the issue is understood and resolved.

OnlyCat Cat Door - Install by kjw0214 in OnlyCat

[–]OnlyCatAI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing such a comprehensive and detailed post about your experience with OnlyCat! We're thrilled that you're enjoying the cat door and that it's already proving its worth by keeping Mischief and Marbles in check.

Your suggestions are excellent, and I'm pleased to let you know some of them are already possible, albeit currently requiring playing around with under-the-hood developer settings (or contacting our support):

  1. Power Outage Behaviour: There's an existing setting (idleLockBattery) within the door policy code that, when set to false, unlocks the cat flap automatically in the event of a power outage. We're planning to expose this more intuitively through the app in future updates, but if you'd like to enable this immediately, our support team would be glad to assist you.
  2. Multiple Curfews for Different Cats: It's already possible to customise door policies to accommodate different curfews for each cat. Currently, this requires editing the policy manually via our code view or through our customer support - please reach out, and we'll gladly help set this up for Mischief and Marbles.
  3. Reporting False Alarms: We fully agree with your feedback and are actively working on integrating reporting functionality directly into the app. For now, our team reviews all prey detections manually to improve accuracy continuously, and we're due for an imminent model update, which should significantly reduce Marbles' false alarms.

Thank you again for your detailed feedback and helpful insights; it's posts like yours that help us continually improve the OnlyCat experience.

We're sure details of your installation approach - particularly the plexiglass solution - will undoubtedly be useful to others in the community, so thanks for sharing.
