Hi, everybody.
I’ve acquired an Aqara C1 Pet Feeder and connected it via Zigbee2MQTT, but noticed that there was a limit in the amount of automatic feeding schedules to a maximum of 4 entries. I learned this is because of the inherent 255-character limit of the entity that governs the schedule.
So, I’ve decided to create my own script, with an automation and a lovelace card that would automate a feeding schedule for my cat with up to 20 entries (I thought 20 was a decent number).
Maybe, someone out there could find it useful for their own dashboard. I’ve been using it for quite some time and it seems to work fine. But do let me know if you have any trouble.
Oh, by the way. Script UI elements are in Spanish but you can easily change these to your liking. All the code, instructions, etc. are in English so it should be fairly simple to translate.
Prerequisites
- Home Assistant OS (haven’t tested it elsewhere)
- Aqara Pet Feeder connected via zigbee2mqtt
- Mosquitto broker (already configured)
- HACS installed (optional, but recommended)
Installation Steps
1. Add Input_Text helpers
These helpers will save the schedule information. Adding them this way makes sure of data persistence.
Add three text input helpers in Settings > Devices & Services > Helpers > Add new Helper
Type: Text
Name: Pet Feeeder Schedules 1, 2 and 3.
Result: input_text_pet_feeder_schedules_1, 2 and 3
2. Upload JS Script
Create a file called pet-feeder-card.js in the config\www folder. You can use Studio Code Server or File Editor add-ons for this purpose. Then add this code and save it.

3. Load Script as Dashboard Card
Go to Settings > Dashboard > … > Resources > Add Resource
Complete with these details:
URL: /local/pet-feeder-card.js?v=1
Type: JavaScript Module
Note: the ?v=1 modifier in the URL allows you to create increments if the JS script is modified.

5. Restart Home Assistant
6. Add Card
Add the card to your dashboard by looking for the new Pet Feeder Card and then completing the name of your Zigbee Pet Feeder. Use the YAML code below (my feeder’s name is ‘Aqara Pet Feeder’):
type: custom:pet-feeder-card
entity: sensor.pet_feeder_schedule_tracker
device_name: Aqara Pet Feeder
Some screenshots. Again, my UI is in Spanish but it’s easily editable.
