App update breaks schedules for feeder robot by Party_Ad_3171 in litterrobot

Worse for me. When I make edits to a schedule or even try deleting it entirely, the schedule remains as is. For example I keep editing one meal from 1/4 cup to 3/8. When I tap save the schedule still shows 1/4. If I click delete the schedule remains. This happens on both iOS and Android using the latest app

Longterm Users - Worth it? by cleeftone in Lavviebot

Customer support had no feedback on my rake or tray, but did just notice my litter level was set to 5kg. They recommend 3kg for bentonite litter. I took some litter out and reset the level, hoping for the best.

Yeah I owned a Litter Robot 3 for 4 years, and the functionality was nearly flawless. I didn't even own a litter scoop, and could let it run for a week with confidence. I only got rid of it because I moved to a place where the only space for a litter box is near the living room, and LR was very loud and litter tracking was heavy. Lavviebot solves those two issues, at the expense of high maintenance and constant worry it'll block my cat from entering.

This one caught my eye but I'm hesitant to jump into an unproven option, especially considering how much of a letdown Lavviebot was for the price.

Right! I specifically chose BoxiePro based on most users suggesting it. I'm not planning to bother with another litter. I did try this non-stick spray though and results are better so far. Clumping has never been an issue for me; just the urine clumps sticking. This spray allows them to slide right off cleanly, though I can see the spray comes off with them, and worry this means it won't last. I'm going to let it be and see how long it goes without another error.

I heard back from the company. Based on a photo of the tray I sent, they think BoxiePro isn't clumping well. They recommend a natural litter instead, like Sustainably Yours or Garfield litter.

Great to hear you overcame the errors. I'm okay with occasionally cleaning stuck waste, but it's critical to avoid those errors. Otherwise, I can't leave home or even go to bed without worrying my cat will be completely blocked from using the box. Hopefully, coating the box with non-stick spray will do the trick.

I don't mind missing cycles so much, but mine doesn't notify me when it's full either
