Support ScoopFree litterboxes (different API)

[RasmusC92]

Hi there!

It looks like this integration is only working with the "My Petsafe" app API's and not the API's that the app "Scoopfree Litter Box" also from PetSafe uses.

It would be awesome if the outher of this integration could dig a little into this, as our scoopfree litterbox works great, but i'm just missing the connection to my home assistant :-)

I just got this litterbox (PetSmart ScoopFree SmartSpin) and was excited to find this integration, then immediately surprised to see that it doesn't apparently support this litterbox despite the description stating "Integrate your PetSafe Smartfeed feeders and Scoopfree litter boxes into Home Assistant".

This uses an app called "ScoopFree Litter Box" in the Apple app store, which - like almost everything else smart home these days is a thinly rebadged Tuya Smart Life variant. I'm guessing the older app called "My PetSafe" is what this integration supports. This could at least be documented, but I guess also integrated since the Tuya API's are usually pretty solid and well documented.

And indeed it's perfectly possible to add it to the Smart Life app instead of the PetSmart one (and surprise, it looks and works exactly the same), and Tuya developer portal gets all the API details without complication:

And LocalTuya has no problems grabbing the local key:

@JS3910 Thank you for the information here. I am trying to get them integrated, but am new to Tuya. If you don't mind helping answer a few questions about your set-up I would appreciate it. For clarity, I am using localtuya 5.2.4. I have been able to get the device identified and connected, but no autodetect of parameters (as expected).

• You listed the dp_id values (provided by the Tuya API I assume). Did you just input the individual list of values into the "Manual DPS..." field?
• After that, is it just a process of iterating through each dp_id and assigning it a device type via the web UI?

I have two litter boxes I want to get setup, so I want to make sure that I am not missing something with the fairly manual process of assigning each dp_id to a function/entity. Thanks for the input!
