We use an app feeder with a two bowl splitter for our chaos duo and it has been a sanity saver. Both bowls fill at the same moment so the usual ambush stopped, the app schedule sticks, the history makes it easy to see if a meal fired, and the low bin ping has saved a missed top up once. Battery backup did its job during a short outage and everything ran on time.
Medium kibble has been fine as long as we avoid oversized puffs and keep the hopper from running near empty. If you ever see a partial drop, switch to smaller portions more often or give the hopper a quick refill and it smooths out. Spacing the bowls a bit and adding a small visual barrier between them also helps the thief think twice, which turns out to be half the battle.
