Just wanted to update this thread. I managed to get the kinks worked out on this feeder. I haven't had anymore false triggers on the wireless mechanism, so reprogramming it to be a momentary switch vs On/Off seems to have done the trick. I also added a solar panel to the mix which seems to be keeping the battery charged.
The only problem I've had is that water was infiltrating the lid and ruined a couple of cups of food. Turns out you need to really torque the lid down to ensure a tight seal on the rubber gasket. I also don't like that the lid is recessed and holds rainwater. It doesn't cause any problems, just annoying when adding feed.
Overall I'm really pleased with the design. Alot of the feed falls within the floats and sort of acts like a feed ring.
