  2. Connect and test your OnlyCat

    Open Devices and choose the add button. Follow the setup prompts to identify your flap and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.

    Before permanent fitting, test the powered device and its connection where you plan to install it.

    Connected and tested? If your flap is still waiting to be fitted, follow the installation guide before introducing your cats.

    Continue with installation

  3. Get to know your cats

    Once your OnlyCat is fitted, give your cats time to investigate their new doorway. As a cat approaches, its microchip can appear with the event. Give each cat a name and profile in the app.

    Choose an appropriate locked policy before introductions if you need to keep an indoor-only cat safe. Let every cat explore at its own pace.

    Choose their house rules

  4. Choose and activate a policy

    From your device, add a Door Policy. Choose a suitable starting point, adjust the entry and exit permissions, and set allowed hours for each cat. Save and activate the policy you want to use.

    Training mode helps cats who are startled by the lock’s click get comfortable with their new doorway. It keeps the flap unlocked between events while they get used to coming and going. Prey detection still runs, but the flap may not always lock in time to stop a cat carrying prey.

    Check that the active policy behaves as intended before leaving your cats to use the flap.

  5. Invite your household

    Open the people control on the device page and create an invitation link. The person you invite signs in with their own account. Manage or remove their access from the same area.

  6. Set your notifications

    Choose which events you want to hear about and set any quiet hours.
