Satisfied with the end result even though the process was a bit tricky. Order the mounting adapter straight away if you have metal in your front door, as the metal interferes with the chip reader. I first tried adding an extra air gap at the top, but eventually gave up and bought the adapter so I could cut a slightly taller hole in the door (I didn’t make it any wider). I also received a returned item, which would have been fine if I’d been able to choose that myself or got an extra discount or something similar.

I’m writing this even though I don’t think you’re as silly as I am... I tried out the cat flap in my old house before moving and everything was fine. In the new place, as soon as I installed it on the glass door, I realised it stuck out too much and stopped the shutter from coming down. Even though it was clearly written not to drill or cut the cat flap, I did it anyway, and of course I ended up cutting the circuits and now it doesn’t work anymore (it doesn’t recognise the microchip).

I’ve just installed the cat flap. I already had the Hub because I bought the “smart bowl”, which I have to say I was really happy with. However, this system was installed in a newly built house with an A+++ energy rating, and it was very disappointing to discover that there’s no insulation at all. I installed several extension pieces, since my wall is 30cm thick plus the insulation layer. Air gets into the tunnel and comes through the flap. Terrible.
