Hi all,
Based on all the good work done by many others previously, I have expanded on the Tuya Local implementation for the Arlec 5L Pet Feeder and allow pass through to HomeKit.
You will need both the Tuya Local and HomeKit integrations installed.
What I found is that my Arlec 5L Pet Feeder was not recognised natively despite there being a dedicated yaml file for it. I suspect Arlec updated their design at some point. Mine is described by Tuya as model ID: kntyrl0a0mltmz8w
As a result I created my own Arlec 5L configuration file based on the visible DPs (sadly not all of them - if someone has managed to get all the DPs for this version please let me know!) My new file is listed below.
Then it was a matter of adding some configuration scripts to my configuration.yaml file. It will set up two switches that should all be exposed to Apple Home via a single HomeKit bridge that you can add to your Apple Home. These include:
A HomeKit bridge for Pet Feeder
A ‘fan’ switch to set the portion quantity (this will sync with the Tuya Local integration)
An on/off switch that dispenses the feed portions as set above
When configured, it should look like this:
I hope this is of interest to some!

-------file and scripts-------
arlec_5l_petfeeder2.yaml - place this in your /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/custom_components/tuya_local/devices directory (or similar), then add the pet feeder device in Home Assistant following the Tuya Local instructions (and of course choose this configuration when asked):
