    It does take up a lot of time, but I’ve found it really rewarding.

    Was there more functionality through HomeKit Controller?

    I’ve thought about running the air purifier when the cats use the tray, but haven’t done it yet. What do you use to detect the cats?

        Cheers! I have been thinking about a Litter Robot, haven’t been willing to fork out the cash yet though. How do you rate it?

          The cats appreciate it, and it makes things less urgent. Gives more time when we’re out in vacation. They don’t really use the old one anymore.

          You still have to deal with it in the end though.

          I’ve had one for 5 years and it’s definitely a quality of life improvement over the alternative. Yes you will need to empty it weekly or so (really wish they sold an upgrade to the waste drawer) and yes it will require cleaning occasionally… but otherwise pretty flawless.

          The company behind it is repair friendly (sells parts, kits, provides instructions and videos) which I consider a big advantage from the competition, especially when investing this much into a fart box. Only fix we had to do was replace the waste full detector light bar and it left a good impression how DIY supportive they were.
