Now I'm wondering: is there a collection of contraptions and levels built for @principia to play with it around like in #TheIncredibleMachine? Sort of a #RubeGoldbergMachine, but with #DIY set to make more such levels, you know... :ablobcatwave:

Post inspired by https://mastodon.social/@256/112417780225247409 and reminiscing about mid-00s #RubeGoldberg type videogame that I can't remember the name of.

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!
