How Long Can an Automatic Cat Feeder Voice Recording Be?

Most clips are short and play when a scheduled meal starts

An automatic cat feeder voice recording lasts 10 seconds on the PETLIBRO Granary, PETLIBRO Essential, WOPET F07 Pro, and WOPET Cube Air CA10 pages opened Nov 10, 2026, and within 20 seconds on PETKIT’s Canada YumShare Solo with Camera page and the older US YumShare Dual-Hopper with Camera page.

The clip plays when food is dispensed or at a scheduled meal. Stopping it depends on the model: PETLIBRO’s Granary help page lists a playback of 0 as silence for that meal and, in the delete steps, as deleting the original recording.

If the cat startles, the maker’s mute or delete line is in the table.

One Petlibro owner, Draco, wrote on TheCatSite on July 3, 2026, “I love that I can record my voice to get her to the bowl.” That sentence is a preference. Length, play count, and how to stop the clip are in the table, not in that post.

Someone who already has the camera Solo can start from the YumShare Solo review and use this page for the recording steps.

How long an automatic cat feeder voice recording lasts

Each cell is what that page states. Where a page was read and a detail is missing, the cell says “Not stated.” All of these pages were opened on Nov 10, 2026. The IMIPAW DU3L-WY manual host did not open, so that model is absent.

Four pages cap the clip at 10 seconds: Granary, Essential, F07 Pro, and Cube Air CA10. Two PETKIT pages say within 20 seconds: the Canada Solo with Camera page and the older US Dual-Hopper with Camera page. Solo 2 and Dual-hopper 2 name a voice call and do not state a length. The US product URL named YumShare Solo with Camera redirected to Solo 2 on the day these pages were opened.

Record again, or erase the clip

On Granary, a new clip is saved from the unlocked feeder: press the voice recording button once, wait for a beep, speak for at most 10 seconds, then press again. Two beeps mean it saved. Deleting is a different control. Press the recording button twice and 3 beeps sound, and the original recording is deleted. A full reset is holding Increase and Decrease together for 6 seconds until three beeps and all icons light. That reset also deletes the current time and the feeding schedule.

Essential uses a longer hold to start. With the feeder unlocked, hold the record button for 3 seconds until a beep, release, speak (the page’s limit is 10 seconds), then press record again. Two beeps mean it saved. To remove it, hold record for 3 seconds until a beep, then immediately press record again. Two beeps sound and the recording disappears. The other delete is a locked reset: hold Up for 6 to 10 seconds until the display flashes twice and the time returns to 00:00. That reset deletes the voice recording, the current time, and the feeding schedule. The page does not describe a play-count setting.

Cube Air CA10 saves while unlocked: hold Record for up to 10 seconds, release, and two beeps confirm the save. The manual’s 5-second Reset returns factory settings. It does not say the voice clip is part of that reset. F07 Pro’s product page says you can record a 10-second message that plays when the meal is dispensed. Its support guide says to press and hold the record button first, and that battery-only power plays the recording once before feeding. Neither F07 Pro page states a delete sequence.

A zero on the Granary page is not a simple mute

Granary is the only page in this set that prints a play count. Plays can be set from 0 to 5. The default is 2, and the call plays when it is time for a scheduled feeding. A zero means the meal call will not play during that meal. The delete list on the same page says that setting the number of playback to 0 deletes the original recording. The page prints both sentences and does not say which one wins if they seem to conflict. Treat a zero as a delete, not as a mute that keeps the clip.

The page treats the count as something you set meal by meal. Unlocked, hold the Record button for 3 seconds until the record icon is on and meal icon 1 flashes. Press Increase or Decrease to choose how many times that call plays, then press Setting once. The screen shows F-XX for playback times. Press Increase or Decrease again to set the number, then press Setting to save. Repeat those steps for other meals. Hold the setting button for 3 seconds to return to the locked screen. The meal call does not play during manual feeding.

F07 Pro is the other page that assumes more than one play. The support guide answers a case where the recording was set to play multiple times and then played once, or not at all, by saying battery-only power plays it once before feeding. It does not describe a zero setting. Essential, Cube Air CA10, and the PETKIT pages opened here do not state a play count.

PETKIT’s meal call is not the camera microphone switch

The Canada YumShare Solo with Camera page, SKU D4H, says you can record a voice message within 20 seconds that plays while food is dispensing. It does not say whether you record that on the feeder or in the app, and it does not state how many times it plays. The same page tells you to set the camera’s operating time and disable voice recording in the app. That line sits with the camera privacy text. It does not say it turns off the meal call. The camera hub repeats the camera privacy line and does not state a meal-call length.

The older US YumShare Dual-Hopper with Camera page uses the same 20-second meal-call line and the same camera privacy line. That feeder is not Dual-hopper 2. YumShare Dual-hopper 2 says you can record a voice that plays at every feeding. It does not state a length, a play count, or a mute. Its compare table only labels the row “Personalized Meal Call.” The Dual-hopper 2 review covers the two hoppers and the camera. The live microphone and the saved meal call are different controls.

YumShare Solo 2 says you can set a custom voice call that plays at every feeding, in the same sentence as alerts and a per-pet meal history, next to an app screenshot. It does not state a length or an off switch. On Nov 10, 2026, the US URL for YumShare Solo with Camera redirected to this Solo 2 page, so the 20-second line was not on the US Solo page that loaded.

If the bowl stays empty, the sound is a separate problem from the clip. The automatic cat feeder not dispensing food page lists PETKIT’s checks from a manual feed test onward.

The pages behind these clip lengths, all opened Nov 10, 2026, are the Canada Solo product page, the US Solo 2 page, the Dual-hopper 2 page, the older Dual-Hopper with Camera page, the PETKIT camera hub, PETLIBRO’s Granary and Essential recording help pages, the WOPET F07 Pro product page, the F07 Pro support guide, the Cube Air CA10 manual, and Draco’s TheCatSite post. The IMIPAW DU3L-WY manual host returned an error, so that model is not in the table.
