A Petlibro outage is preventing its smart pet feeders and other devices from performing scheduled tasks, like dispensing food. The outage began on Tuesday, with users across Reddit reporting that their smart feeders, litter boxes, and water fountains have gone offline.
Though Petlibro maintains that “existing settings and schedules stored locally on your device will continue to operate as programmed,” many users say that’s not the case. Instead, some users report that Petlibro’s RFID and Granary food dispensers are missing scheduled feedings due to the outage — a major problem for pet owners currently away from home. Some users say they’ve had issues with Petlibro’s Dockstream smart fountains and Luma litter boxes as well, while the app also isn’t working for some.
