Litter-Robot

The litter-robot component offers integration with the Litter-Robot WiFi enabled devices to Home Assistant.

🍻 I'm not employed by Litter Robot, and provide this plugin purely for our own enjoyment.

Use my referal code and get $25 off your own robot (and it tips me too!)

Install

Load this component by copying the entire directory as described in https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/creating_component_loading.html . This is easiest with the Samba share add-on.

Config

You'll need to have connected to your robot at least once before with the mobile app.

🔑 Trouble finding the API key? Search for x-api-key in this thread for more details.

Edit /config/configuration.yaml. For a robot nicknamed "Tesla Meowdel S":

litter_robot:
  username: "<your litter-robot open connect email>"
  password: "<your password>"
  api_key: "<litter robot app API key>"

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      litter_robot_nightlight:
        friendly_name: "Tesla Meowdel S Night Light"
        value_template: "{{ is_state('sensor.litter_robot_tesla_meowdel_s_nightlight', 'On') }}"
        icon_template: "mdi:lightbulb"
        turn_on:
          service: litter_robot.nightlight_turn_on
        turn_off:
          service: litter_robot.nightlight_turn_off
      litter_robot_cycle:
        friendly_name: "Tesla Meowdel S Cycle"
        value_template: "{{ is_state('sensor.litter_robot_tesla_meowdel_s_status', 'Clean Cycling') }}"
        icon_template: "mdi:refresh"
        turn_on:
          service: litter_robot.cycle
        turn_off:

Restart HASS to activate the component and to reapply config changes. This can be done from the frontend via Configuration -> General -> Server management -> Restart.

Grouping Sensors

Discover the list by searching "litter_robot" in the frontend: Developer tools -> <> (States).

Edit /config/groups.yaml. For a robot nicknamed "Tesla Meowdel S":

Tesla Meowdel S:
  control: hidden
  entities:
    - sensor.litter_robot_tesla_meowdel_s_status
    - sensor.litter_robot_tesla_meowdel_s_waste
    - switch.litter_robot_cycle
    - switch.litter_robot_nightlight

Then reload Groups config. This is easiest done with the frontend Configuration -> General -> Configuration reloading -> Reload groups.

Development

Watch /config/home-assistant.log, which is accessible from the frontend via Developer tools -> (i) (/dev-info).

• sleepModeActive: either "0" or "1HH:mm:ss" where HH:mm:ss is number of hours, minutes and seconds since last sleep started. Sleep mode is between "100:00:00" and "108:00:00" (8 hours).

• unitStatus: is one of:

"RDY" == Unit ready to be used.
"CCP" == Cleaning Cycle in Progress
"CCC" == Cleaning Cycle Completed
"DF1" == Drawer is Full -- But it is able to cycle a few more times.
"DF2" == Drawer is Full -- But it is still able to cycle a few more times.
"CST" == Cat sensor timing
"CSI" == Cat sensor interrupt
"BR" == Bonnet removed
"P" == Unit is Paused
"OFF" == Unit is turned off
"SDF" == Drawer is completely full and will not cycle.
"DFS" == Drawer is completely full and will not cycle. 

Commands

"<C" == Start cleaning cycle
"<W7" == Set wait time to 7 minutes
"<W3" == Set wait time to 3 minutes
"<WF" == Set wait time to 15 minutes
"<P0" == Turn off
"<P1" == Turn on
"<N1" == Turn on night light

• More sensors
  • Mark drawer empty
• Multiple robots
  • Sensors uniquely identify robot
