pylitterbot 2023.5.0

Python package for controlling Whisker automatic robots.

pylitterbot

Python package for controlling Whisker connected self-cleaning litter boxes and feeders.

This is an unofficial API for controlling various Whisker automated robots. It currently supports Litter-Robot 3 (with connect), Litter-Robot 4 and Feeder-Robot.

Disclaimer

This API is experimental and was reverse-engineered by monitoring network traffic and decompiling source code from the Whisker app since no public API is currently available at this time. It may cease to work at any time. Use at your own risk.

Installation

Install using pip

pip install pylitterbot

Alternatively, clone the repository and run

poetry install

Usage

import asyncio

from pylitterbot import Account

# Set email and password for initial authentication.
username = "Your username"
password = "Your password"


async def main():
    # Create an account.
    account = Account()

    try:
        # Connect to the API and load robots.
        await account.connect(username=username, password=password, load_robots=True)

        # Print robots associated with account.
        print("Robots:")
        for robot in account.robots:
            print(robot)
    finally:
        # Disconnect from the API.
        await account.disconnect()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

which will output something like:

Name: Litter-Robot Name, Serial: LR3C012345, id: a0123b4567cd8e

To start a clean cycle

await robot.start_cleaning()

If no exception occurred, your Litter-Robot should now perform a clean cycle.

Currently the following methods are available in the Robot class:

• refresh()
• start_cleaning()
• reset_settings()
• set_panel_lockout()
• set_night_light()
• set_power_status()
• set_sleep_mode()
• set_wait_time()
• set_name()
• get_activity_history()
• get_insight()

TODO

• Improve support for Litter-Robot 4
• Improve support for Feeder-Robot
