PETLIBRO One RFID Smart Feeder
An RFID access-controlled dry-food feeder for separating a tagged pet from others. The collar-tag limit and behavior on backup power are central buying conditions.
Who it may suit
A household that needs to reserve dry food for one tagged pet, can use the included collar tag, and has space for the required reader mat.
Who should look elsewhere
A pet that cannot wear the included tag, a household expecting implant-microchip access, wet-food feeding, or full app control during an outage.
In-depth buying review
A focused option for separating one tagged pet from other pets’ dry food, provided you have room for the reader mat and accept the backup limitations.

How access control works
PETLIBRO’s documentation says the feeder recognizes the included collar tag, not an implanted microchip or third-party tag, and requires the reader mat to be attached. Only one tag can pair with each feeder. PETLIBRO says multiple One units should be at least 10 inches apart. This is a documentation-based assessment, not a hands-on test.

PETLIBRO says the feeder connects to its app over 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. It requires AC power for normal use; three alkaline D batteries are optional emergency backup and are not included. On backup, stored schedules continue, but Wi-Fi and reset are disabled.

The feeder measures 442 × 196 × 320 mm and weighs 2.80 kg, so check the available space before choosing a spot. PETLIBRO describes the tag as splashproof but not submersible; it does not require charging.
