PetKit Custom Integration

Im just looking at Petkit Solo, and cant see from the standard spec page whether it requires a bluetooth gateway or not.
Can someone tell me if it will work just on wireless and no gateway?

23

The only product that requires one of the compatible PETKIT devices to act as an in-between BLE relay is the Bluetooth water fountain. The feeders, such as the solo, are WiFi and work standalone with the integration.

Hi,

Quick question, do you know if your integration will work with the Petkit Fresh Element 3 model?

Thanks in advance!

25

Based on a quick search, the Fresh Element 3 looks to be what is known as the Fresh Element Infinity in other markets. If thatā€™s the case, then yes.

26

Awesome integration thanks a lot!
One stupid question: how can I make a button that just gives the minimum portion of kibbles on my fresh element solo?
Calling service select.select_first on the select.feeder_manual_feed entity returns ā€œPetkit error 3: Request is incorrectā€.
When I use the dropdown in the entity and select an option, it always works.

27

that would be awesome. I received the Eversweet 3 Pro around Christmas and would be awesome to get it controlled with Homeassistant, as its the only Petkit Device I own. Hoping for the Best :wink:

@RobertD502 does this; or could this support the PetKit YumShare Dual Hopper (this) ?, it basically looks like a newer version of the PetKit Element Gemini, but with an inbuilt 1080p camera?

Thanks

The yumshare feeders will be supported in the future. The livestream from the camera will not be available in Home Assistant on the account that PetKit uses a proprietary platform to deliver its video streams, which is not compatible with Home Assistant.

Do you need/want a yumshare feeder to test with? Iā€™m more than happy to connect with you on mine for testing and integration purposes. Or if you want a sample of the ā€˜device_detailā€™ response?

I installed via HACS, but during integration I get an error:

Hello,
Iā€™m new in Home Assistant.
After I read about your Petkit integration I ordered a full set of Petkit device: Feeder (Element Solo), Water Fountain (Eversweet 3 Pro) and Pura Max

Now Iā€™m trying to add your integration and with big surprise seems that doesnā€™t exist in the Addon Store.

What Iā€™m missing ? There is a way to download the source from Github and install it manually ?

Iā€™m running HAOS 12.1 Core 2024.3.3 on Wyse 5070

Thanks in advance

Integrations arenā€™t accessible in the ā€œnativeā€ addons store (addons are different from integratrions). Youā€™ll need to install HACS first (see https://hacs.xyz/), and you should then be able to install from there.

34

Itā€™s exactly what I was missing. Thanks infinite!

I opened Eversweet 3 Pro today to check what SoC they use and itā€™s Telink TLSR8258. Thatā€™s the same chip as in Mija Thermometers, and a custom firmware for those is available at GitHub - pvvx/ATC_MiThermometer: Custom firmware for the Xiaomi Thermometers and Telink Flasher

I wonder if thereā€™s any value in doing something similar with the water fountains? At the very least it should get easier to talk to them directly, without relaying through another device. I asked at Mija repo for any clues: Off topic: hacking TLSR8258 based PETKIT water fountain Ā· Issue #504 Ā· pvvx/ATC_MiThermometer Ā· GitHub

It would actually be interesting to have it converted into a Zigbee device, considering how little functionality is expected of it.

Thanks For opening the device. I have 2x Eversweet Solo 2 at home and no other petkit Devices. So i canā€™t integrate them without a etkit BLE Gateway (when i understod this correctly)

I have exactly this mi temp&humid Sensors flashed (BT Version) and they use my Shelly1plus as Bluetooth gateway. So my guess is, if i can load a custom Firmware on the water fontain, it should also be possible to use the Same gateway instead of a petkit Devices. This would be amazing

How can i help to get a custom Firmware to be developed?
