Litter-Robot
The Litter-Robot integration allows you to control and monitor your Wi-Fi-enabled, automatic, self-cleaning litter box and pet feeders.
You will need a Litter-Robot account as well as a Wi-Fi-enabled Litter-Robot or Feeder-Robot unit that has already been associated with your account.
Configuration

Litter-Robot can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant. If an instance was found, it will be shown as Discovered. You can then set it up right away.
Manual configuration steps
If it wasn’t discovered automatically, don’t worry! You can set up a manual integration entry:
-
Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
-
In the bottom right corner, select the
Add Integration button. -
From the list, select Litter-Robot.

Actions
Actions are utilized for additional functionality that is available in the Whisker (previously Litter-Robot) companion app. The following are currently available:
set_sleep_mode
Enables (with start_time
parameter) or disables sleep mode on the Litter-Robot. Currently, this is limited to only the Litter-Robot 3. To make changes to the sleep schedule on your Litter-Robot 4, please continue to use the Whisker app.
Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
enabled | bool | yes | Set to true to enable and false to disable. |
start_time | string | no | Time at which the unit will enter sleep mode and prevent an automatic clean cycle for 8 hours. This param uses the 24-hour format string %H:%M:%S , with seconds being optional, and is based on the timezone configured for your Home Assistant installation. As such, 10:30:00 would indicate 10:30 AM, whereas 22:30:00 would indicate 10:30 PM. |
Example of setting the sleep mode to begin at 10:30 PM.
