Whisker Litter Robot 4

I have noticed that when I click on Litter robot in the device menu:

It offers a way to remotely Imitate a 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.

Use the vacuum.start action

Thanks @PerseusX! I now have a routine to initiate a cleaning action with a button press. If you don’t mind, how did you find this action? Are there any other related actions ? I tried vacuum.reset, but it is an unknown action.

I’m the developer of both the reverse-engineered API Python library and Home Assistant integration for Litter-Robot, so I’m fairly intimate with the capabilities, haha.

The reset function is coming in the next release and will be a button entity: Add button to reset Litter-Robot 4 by natekspencer · Pull Request #136191 · home-assistant/core · GitHub
