Does the timer work in training mode? I'm not interested in RIF control; I just need a cat door that operates on a timer.

Kay, I don't think the door will lock in training mode. But I, like you, just wanted a timed cat-door. For me it was to let the cats go out once the sun was up and lock them in once it got dark. I do not have any issues with animals (raccoons, opossum, chupacabra) trying to get in and because I have three cats and the chips were kinda big I simply taped a chip to the inside of the kitty door. This way when it is set to open there is always a chip close enough to activate it and the cat just has to push on it. Any cat can get in or out during the day and when it is set to close no one can leave (actually I only "close" it so the cats can't get out after dark, but after dark they can get in). I hope this is helpful for you. Red

Yes. There are Five electronically selectable modes for controlling entry/exit. 1. Normal: In/Out allowed; 2. Pet can Enter but is Locked In; 3. Pet can Exit but is Locked Out; 4. Full Lock: No Entry or Exit; 5. Curfew mode: Timer controlled locking where pet is prevented from exiting during the curfew time defined by the owner, but operates in Normal mode at all other times.I haven't used any special modes yet but I plan to use them when required in the future.So far (about six months) our SureFlap Microchip Pet Door has operated flawlessly.

Jim, it will close the door automatically according to the setting you use. I use the 3 1/2 minute setting but you can go to 5 minutes on up. It connects in two places ... the main box with the settings, etc gets attached to a wall next to or near your existing switches to open and close the door and the sensor gets attached to the rail upon which the door moves. Hope this helps, I love this product as does my neighbor.

You can program it to always be open for a cat wearing a collar with the tag. Otherwise, no.

it won't work with a timer. The reason is that you switch fan modes by turning the wall switch on then off then on. The default mode when you turn it on is the humidity mode. The humidity sensor mode is great because it will run variable speeds until the humidity is below 50-60%. The fan is very quiet so I have no problem just leaving it on full for hours. it also uses very little power so quite efficient.

Sounds like you are using it in the Manual mode. It should be able to toggle the cursor to the "Auto" mode (shows in LCD) in which case the timer function takes over. The On/Off is to manually control it on demand. I don't own this so I don't know if the Man/Auto is controlled by Mode button? But I have other timers and it sounds like this is what you need to do.

Setting the timer on the feeder is very simple. It is much more like setting a cooking timer than programming a DVR. I'm sure that your petsitter can handle it.

no it does not work on a timer nor really control food. It does keep resistance so there is not an overload of food, but will continue to feed until it runs out. I like it but I can only get one of my dogs to open the door to eat out of it. I think they are scared of the metal noise when it closes after they take a bite or two.

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are using the controller to operate a chicken house door, the motor must be powered on to lift/lower and then powered off to reset for the next function (lift/lower). So, with the door closed, program the date and time you want the door to open. Then set an off time 3 to 5 minutes later to reset the motor for the close function. Then program the date and time you want the door to close by setting an on time and 3 to 5 minutes later set an off time.

It is limited by the timer you use. When power to the motor comes on the door opens or closes depending on what position it is in ( if closed it will open, if open it will close). So as many times as you can set the timer to turn on and turn off is the maximum number of times it will open and close. For example mine is set to close at 7 pm and open at 6 am. If I manually open the door before 6 am, it will close at 6am and stay closed till 7 pm unless I manually open before then, if I close the door before 7pm it will open at 7pm.

Yes, there is a one-way in setting, which is the setting we use from 8pm-4am (or if the weather is bad). The door can be programed individually if you have more than one cat. As for battery life; it's unbeatable. We have 3 cats using it continuously and only change the (4 AA) batteries about twice a year. This door has been, by far, our best purchase-ever! I'm not sure if i mentioned it in my review, but I replaced the metal tag loop on with a smaller (and stronger) one. My cats are different sizes and none need a loop that big. Also, the door opens when the cat pushes her head against it. It comes with 2 tags, so program both, and use the second to demonstrate. Hold it and push at the same time. You will also have to "gently" push her into it so she gets the concept. I put a bowl of food on the other side, but it did not take long for them to get it.

Here is an idea; it worked for me. Get your vacuum cleaner and push it up against the door INSIDE the room with you. Plug it into a power strip, so that when you switch the switch, the vacuum turns on. (This keeps you from having to find the switch on the vacuum in the middle of the night when you hear your cat scratching.) As soon as you hear the scratching, flip the switch and let it run for a few seconds. They HATE vacuums. It's in the kitty manifesto as a kitty sucker!

The same way you set the trap door. I have caught 9 feral cats with this trap. Don't know about other animals if it works for them.

You have to press the little switch. I don't think it will work with a timer.

No, I don't think so. I'll look at it next time I'm in the office. I'm pretty sure it has no timer-based auto-on or auto-off feature.

its continuous, you can put it on a timer I suppose, not sure if they make a contact sensor for it that would turn it on when the cat lays on it but that'd be pretty nice
