I did have to replace the timer after a couple years (not easy to find a two-stage timer), but that was my fault; it got corroded from getting wet because I didn't ziptie it off the "floor" of the compartment at the bottom of the feeder (which does get wet).

Dust from feed and water make a sludge in that bottom compartment but it's easy enough to clean out and only has to be done once a year or so.

At some point I'd like to make a controller for it myself with something like a raspberry pi so I could control it with wifi---would be a fun project.

What size feed are you using it to throw, and do you have any idea how much weight it throws for "X" amount of time?
