How does the motion sensor (microwave radar) work?Updated 2 hours ago

The Klyqa Welly features a built-in microwave motion sensor that detects when your pet approaches the fountain. When your pet is detected, the fountain automatically starts circulating water to encourage drinking.

How motion detection works

Pet detected: As soon as your pet approaches the fountain, a water circulation cycle starts automatically.
On AC power: Water circulates for 10 minutes.
On battery power: Water circulates for 15 seconds to conserve energy.

After each activation, the fountain enters a cooldown period:

1 minute by default (adjustable in the app)
During this time, additional motion is ignored.
Once the cooldown ends, motion detection becomes active again.

Motion sensor settings in the Klyqa Pet app

Open Settings > Sensor Mode.

You can:

Adjust the cooldown time (for example 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes).
Disable the cooldown entirely if you want the fountain to respond to every detected movement.
Increase the cooldown period while running on battery power to maximize battery life.
Enable 24/7 Fresh Water Mode if you prefer continuous water circulation.

Good to know

The water level in the drinking tray is automatically maintained at an optimal level, regardless of the selected operating mode.
The sensor uses microwave radar technology to reliably detect your pet's approach, while movements from people nearby are generally ignored.
