Soot happily uses the new #LitterRobot, I do not think Shine has used it even once. I did remove all but 1 other litter box, hoping he'll try it soon.

Our Litter Robot's drawer full sensor was on the fritz, and @homeassistant's automations came to the rescue and helped me tie together a stop-gap fix.

The Litter Robot 4 is amazing (and the 3 is excellent too).
The ExquisiCat Crystal litter is great with it! Really great!
I thought the ExquisiCat Crystal Clumping Litter would be even better.
BIG MISTAKE!
It clumps, but it sticks to the side of the litter box and hardens into a very hard clay. After just a week, I've had to scrape it off the side of the globe, up the side, near the hopper entrance, between *and behind* the grills, and now I'm giving the globe a full clean, and despite hard scraping, it's still leaving remnants and a sludge behind.
And when i say scraping, I mean with metal objects and a lot of force, which is a problem because the rubber lining is fragile, and it's weakened because the mass of litter is wet with cat urine, making it even more fragile!
It's an absolute disaster. DO NOT USE THE CRYSTAL CLUMPING LITTER WITH THIS LITTER BOX!
I'm going back to the regular crystal litter after I can finish cleaning and drying the box.

Who is ready for a package scheduled to arrive today?

I absolutely love the Litter Robot 4, with only two complaints.
First, I don't love that I would need an app to update the firmware. Our litter robot is synced to my wife's phone, but I wish it could just work with eg HomeAssistant.
Secondly, cleaning inside/under the rubber liner is basically impossible without fully disassembling the unit, which means I never do it. I see "stuff" inside there, but with like 20 screws and no outdoor space, I'm not taking it apart.
Other than that, it's been worth every penny, and I hear the litter hopper makes it even better!

Got home from work a little early today and since it's 90 degrees today I figured it's time for a Litter Robot deep cleaning since it's a little stimky. The kittehs are still day sleeping, so it's a perfect time. And it's warm out, it'll dry fast.

I give our Litter Robot a deep clean about every six months and it's absolutely disgusting. Honestly, you take all the effort you save throughout the year in not cleaning it and you apply much of it at one time, and even then it's nearly impossible to clean all the little crevices.
If we had a back yard this would be much, much easier.

I'm a bit of a #HomeAutomation nut, and I have two cats whose #litterbox is a #LitterRobot made by #Whisker. The mobile app is supposed to notify me whenever the litter drawer gets full, but it's never worked. (Yes, I've already tried logging out/in, uninstalling/reinstalling, clearing cache, disabling battery optimization, etc.)
My main hub is a #Hubitat C-7, and until recently, there was an unofficial Litter Robot integration in #HubitatPackageManager that allowed me to circumvent the Whisker app notification issue. Then, Whisker changed their #API, which broke the Hubitat integration, and I was back to manually checking the Whisker app every day.
Turns out, there's a #HomeAssistant integration that supports the new API, so today, I implemented the most #RubeGoldberg workaround I've ever seen. I installed #Portainer on my #RaspberryPi, spun up HA in #Docker, installed #HACS, enabled the Hubitat #MakerAPI integration, connected it all up, and now my notifications are working again!

I'm now the happy owner of a Litter Robot 4. #LitterRobot It was super expensive but I am so impressed. It's a huge step up from the LR3. Better design, no exposed moving parts, and app-connected so it will let you know which of your cats is visiting - by weight! - and when. Especially if you have multiple #cats, I strongly recommend it. #catsofmastodon

Gungi gives the box 1 out of 5 stars. Not for 18 pound cats. But Litter Robot 4 is.

One downside of an automatic litter box is that when you do need to do a full clean, it's much trickier than a traditional litter box. There are many nooks and crannies for litter to get stuck for weeks/months.
It's still overall less work, but on the cleaning days every few months... phew!

@nm @djlink I love my #LitterRobot but I will not be subscribing to anything. 😂

After the pinch sensor on the Litter Robot 3 freaking out the third or fourth time, Robot 4 to replace it.
The Litter Robot 3 is still a good unit, and served us well for roughly three years. I even think it paid for itself in the savings in litter.
But the litter Robot 4 looks a lot more well designed. I hope it holds up!

@serge #LitterRobot can be connected to #Hubitat, which can control other devices, such as air filters. You'd only need to add a bit of logic and a timer.

Litter Robot really works! Recommend for cat owners

My (expensive) journey to automating my 2 cat's needs is almost complete...
✅ Litter Robot
This was difficult to train both cats, one of them took about a week to train, the other took 2 months. I placed the LitterRobot next to the other litterboxes, unfortunately the second cat was TERRIFIED of the litterrobot, so she shit on the floor far away. I had to move her litterbox 30ft away, and moved it 5ft per day closer to the litterrobot, when finally she used it.

Every time #Kieran hops in to the #LitterRobot, I think he looks like a damned space traveler. #CatsOfMastodon #OpenThePodBayDoor

We've only had a #LitterRobot for a few days, but first impressions: expensive, obvs, but super awesome. Love it so far. Cats took right to it; way easier to tidy up; much cleaner/tidier experience for the cats; really no issues with smells.
This was a "treat" when we had a fortunate bit of extra cash. Like I said: expensive, but well worth it if you can afford it.
