Convert your feeder to a cellular feeder with FEED HUB, the world’s first cellular feeder conversion kit. With FEED HUB, you can manage and monitor your feeders from anywhere using the Moultrie Mobile App.
Overview

Our partnership with PRADCO Outdoor Brands involves development on two ends: creation of a wildlife feeder controller with a Universal Digital Timer and an application to control said controller from any mobile device. Controlling a feeder via the Mobile Application allows for on-demand feeding from a distance of up to 300 feet.

Client History
Since 1894, PRADCO Outdoor Brands has been perfecting its outdoor products. With a focus on quality, it has established itself as a market leader. Individuals with a passion for the outdoors come to Pradco Outdoor Brands

They are the largest company in the world that manufactures and markets major hunting and fishing brands and products under one parent organization. With expertise in producing game calls, scents, game feeders and more, their powerful portfolio showcases their dedication to helping hunters around the globe.
Goals
  1. Allow Remote Control Of Feeders
    After proper integrations, the Moultrie Mobile Application would be able to control the feeder from a safe distance, allowing fish and birds to feed without making them hesitant with a human coming close.
  1. Multi-Platform Accessibility
    The Moultrie Mobile Application aims to maximize accessibility by making itself available on both major mobile platforms: Android & IOS. This would allow a majority of the hunter community to operate the feeder without any hassles.
  1. Allow Compatibility With Most Feeder Styles
    The Activation Remote Control aims to work with a majority of feeder styles and brands, ensuring a hunter doesn’t have to search for alternatives to add smart functionality to an already purchased feeder.
Challenges

One of our biggest challenges was integrating the Universal Digital Timer with different mobile devices. We had to ensure everything worked together smoothly, which required a lot of detailed planning and testing. Another crucial aspect was designing a user-friendly app that both experienced users and beginners could navigate

We also faced the challenge of maintaining a stable connection over a distance of up to 300 feet, even in challenging outdoor environments. Ensuring reliable connectivity despite potential signal interference was key. Additionally, ensuring our controller was compatible with various feeder styles and brands meant extensive testing and fine-tuning to accommodate different designs.

Our Solution

We developed a durable wildlife feeder controller with a Universal Digital Timer, designed to work with a wide range of feeder styles and brands. We created a straightforward mobile app that allows users to schedule and initiate feedings remotely, available on both major mobile platforms. To address connectivity challenges, we optimized communication protocols to ensure a stable connection up to several hundred feet. 

Rigorous field testing ensured the system’s reliability under different environmental conditions. We also provided detailed guides, video tutorials, and dedicated support to assist users in getting the most out of their new smart feeder systems.

Scope

Our project’s scope included several key areas: 

  1. Developing a wildlife feeder controller equipped with a Universal Digital Timer
  2. Creating a user-friendly mobile application for Android and iOS platforms
  3. Ensuring seamless integration between the hardware and software components.

    Additionally, we had to conduct extensive testing to confirm the system’s reliability and compatibility with various feeder models. Comprehensive user support was also part of the scope, providing resources and assistance to help users set up and operate their new systems effectively.
