Also your Cauldron only works once per day, and can let you summon 1d3+1 from the monster 4 list. You aren't using summon monster 4 in a 5th level slot, you are using summon monster 5, to summon lower leveled monsters.
Also also, make sure you are using summon monster correctly. It is a full round action, meaning you start it on your turn, and your monster isn't summoned until the start of your next turn.
Yes thank you!
I have been doing this wrong!
Could have had more powerful summons.
Good insight, thanks
DM allowed me to take a chronocharm after we had a long debate about sacred summon. which allows me once per day to summon as a standard.

SO...
Augmented and superior summoning.
In my 5th level spot
Summon monster 4, 1d3+1
Summon monster 4, 1d3+1 with the cauldron once per day
is the optimal.
AS a standard action with the chrono charm
But i been doing
in my 5th level spot
summon monster 4, 1d3+1 (usually hound archon)
summon monster 3 1d3+1+1 (usually lantern archon)
AS a standard action with the chrono charm
