Home Assistant, a powerful home automation platform.
HA is still more of a lifestyle choice than just software.
Someday I'll get around to putting those bulbs back on the Homekit controller instead of trying to run them through OTBR.
The exhaust fan turning on when the litterbox detects a cat is pretty cool though.
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?

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