Do not disturb schedule

While mobile notifications come in handy when you’re on the go, you may not want to receive these updates when you’re at home or asleep. The Do Not Disturb feature allows you to set a timeframe during which you won’t receive notifications from a particular or any of your Catit PIXI Smart devices.
