Thank you so much for all of your hard work on this project.
I think I have everything availbale up and running.
Question: Do you know if it is possible to make my cat’s status badge the same as a device_tracked badge showing home and away like it is for my wife and I?
Ive used this for a while now and don’t display the location information.
I took a close up picture of the cat and converted a copy to black and white.
I then use these pictures to donate whether the cats in (colour pic.) or out (B/W pic.) Works well.
- type: picture-entity
entity: binary_sensor.pet_bo
show_name: false
show_state: false
state_image:
'on': /local/bo_in.jpg
'off': /local/bo_out.jpg
That’s really cool.
Thanks
Hi guys,
First of all thank you for this great integration! I just got this upp and running and everything is working OK. I´m running the latest HA version. Enyone else get this in the logg:
Logger: homeassistant.util.async_
Source: util/async_.py:129
First occurred: 9:20:31 PM (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 9:20:31 PM
Detected I/O inside the event loop. This is causing stability issues. Please report issue for surepetcare doing I/O at homeassistant/components/surepetcare/init.py, line 114: device_data = await surepy.device(device[CONF_ID])
Looks like there is an open issue for this.
I used the composite device tracker to turn the binary sensor into a device_tracker and then created a person for my cat and used the composite device tracker.
device_tracker:
- platform: composite
name: Nero
# time_as: device_or_local
entity_id:
- binary_sensor.pet_nero
Awesome thank you! Works perfectly 
I have started to experience issues with the Sure PetCare integration connecting on startup. If I reboot HA I find that more often than not, the Sure PetCare integration fails to startup … I can usually get it to connect after a series of reboots, but I wondered if anyone else is experiencing issues. I suspect the Sure PetCare servers are slow to respond so the integration times out.
I am running HA 2021.2.3, and have only seen these issues since I updated.
Yeah me too but iv had them for a while so not only a 2021.2.3 issue
Yes, this would be great.
@antb via github sponsors 
but we do not expect something 
PRs would also be a great way to „help“ 
@insertjokehere if you need something in the lib or a new release or anything, tell me
@bda55 @getsmokes already available in the lib, so it’s „on the way“ more or less, without any guarantees 
The config option for a device_tracker entity as well as the binary sensor would be a nice touch. Would save us having to use workarounds to configure a tracker to implement into the person’s component.
Anyone create a template switch that allows the door to be fully unlocked and locked (locked_all) using one switch so I can integrate into our voice assistants?
@nckslater can I ask how you get the information about how many hours and times your cat was outside please.
I can’t seem the get it work, or did you create sensors for that? If so could you please share your yaml code?
Thanks
EDIT: Got it with https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/history_stats
For anyone looking to mimic the Sureflap LCD screen, I’ve created a picture-glance that does exactly that. Works a treat!
type: picture-glance
entities: []
title: []
state_image:
Locked_all: /local/sureflap_fully_locked.jpg
Unlocked: /local/sureflap_fully_unlocked.jpg
Locked_in: /local/sureflap_in_only.jpg
Locked_out: /local/sureflap_out_only.jpg
Curfew: /local/sureflap_curfew.jpg
entity: sensor.pet_flap_laundry_door
show_state: []
Download the picture assets here and copy to your www folder:
EDIT: 14th March. Assets tidied up so they are now all the same size.
EDIT: 13th May. Added Curfew Mode icon to indicate if lock state was overridden by the app
Another idea which works with this integration (if you have a 3D printer)
Couple weeks ago I printed 2 lithophane’s and modified a existing box printed that one with wood filament, than added 2 Sonoff zigbee mini’s.
So if one of the cats goes outside her lithophane lights up, this way we can directly see which cat is outside.
Here some pictures:
Thanks for this integration guys, it makes possible to make nice things!
Hoping somone might be able to point me in the correct direction as to why i cant get this working.

Any idea why this might be?
I blame the poor cloud implementation by Surepetcare. I also get these same errors and most times need multiple reboots before I get the integration to be able to connect.
That said, hopefully soon we will have a non-cloud option for DIYers in Surepet hub local for pet/cat door and feeder
@peterl is doing epic work on it.
Thanks @tinuva I have made some great progress and would love some help getting a few of the last issues sorted. So any assistance folks can provide especially with the CRC calculation of the message in https://github.com/plambrechtsen/pethublocal/issues/1 would really help.
