Is there a way to add/call a service to imitate the physical reset button press on the LR4?

There is not currently a way for that to be done. I also don’t think there ever will be as it is kind of a “safety” mechanism.
this is a pain as you could do this with the LR3
I have noticed that when I click on Litter robot in the device menu:
It offers a way to remotely start cleaning.
I have checked using Developer Tools/Actions and I was not able to find a command that would accomplish the reset.
Just figured I would reach out here and see if anyone else had noticed this and is there maybe a way to get to the control through an automation or script. It is obviously possible to do remotely.
I’m working on getting the reset button added. It’s new as of Sept 30, 2024 (Whisker Firmware Releases) and haven’t had a chance to work on it yet.

I saw that you made some updates to pylitterrobot. Did you get reset working? Yesterday I put together an automation with the assumption that I could reset the robot only to realize I can’t (yet!) when I got to the last step of the configuration… 
The functionality exists in the library, but I haven’t got it added to Home Assistant yet.
PR is here if you want to track it: Add button to reset Litter-Robot 4 by natekspencer · Pull Request #136191 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

I was just about to add an issue to GitHub but then saw this forum post. Looks like we will have a Reset button in the integration soon enough. Thanks for working on this!

Just added LR4 to HA and can’t figure out - how do you detect when a cat was in the thing?
Came out that if LR4 is in the sleep mode, there are fewer statuses availalbe - that’s why I couldn’t find the events. Will be trying to use pet weight as a trigger instead.
