🔋 Battery Life Guide
Battery depends on:

Network coverage
Typical ranges:
-
30 sec updates → 4–6 hours
-
5–30 min → hours to days
-
1–2 hour → 3 days to 2+ weeks
✔ HomeZone WiFi can improve battery life significantly, the more your pet is home or outside within your Home Wifi network, the less power it uses (up to 70%). HomeZone Wifi does not connect for data connection but scans your Home's Wifi Address/location only when turned on near your Wifi Router.
🚨 Geofence Alerts
-
May trigger indoors due to GPS limitations
-
HomeZone helps reduce false alerts
📡 Reception Impact
-
Poor signal = lower accuracy + faster battery drain
-
Good signal = better performance + longer battery life
