Experiment — not part of the product
An alert where there is no signal
Some of the best feeders are where no phone works. Strixeo needs mobile data or Wi-Fi to send you a photo. We are testing a way around that: a small radio that sends the alert without either.
What it cannot do
- No photo. The radio carries a few bytes — “fox at the feeder, 02:14” — and never a picture.
- A radio at both ends. One small board beside the feeder phone, one at home or in your pocket. Roughly €25 each, bought from any shop you like, and yours to keep.
- Pointless where there is signal. If your feeder has a few bars, the ordinary alert with a photo is better.
What we hope it can
- Reach you over kilometres, through trees, with no SIM, no internet and no monthly fee.
- Arrive within about 10 seconds. That is a design target, not a measurement.
What we do not know yet
The only question that matters: how far does it actually reach in real forest? We have not measured it. If the answer is three hundred metres, there is nothing to build.
Not built
This is an experiment. It is not in the app, you cannot buy it, and nothing here should be relied on. There is no date.
Would you use this?
Leave an email and we will write once: if it works. If it does not, you will not hear from us. Nothing else is sent, and the address is not used for anything but that. How we keep it.
That address does not look right. Try again?
