Before you rely on it
Read the current manual, inventory every included part, and complete the manufacturer setup sequence. Observe repeated cycles or feeding/recording events as appropriate before leaving the system unattended.
Write down the manual override or fallback, label compatible replacement power or hardware, and show another caregiver how to recover from a failure. Automation is most useful when the backup is boring and obvious.
Open the manufacturer or primary product source to check the latest manual and compatibility details.
