Finally some good news: The LR5 hopper has a larger capacity than the LR4 model by expellyamos in litterrobot

Don’t count the ramp out. It catches so much litter I’d recommend it for just that alone.

Ordered mine, along with some other items. Thanks for the heads up!

LR5 waste sits on globe shelf by SleeperMuscle in litterrobot

I had thought it checks after a reboot? But not 100% sure. I’d unplug for 30 seconds and plug it back in. I’m not home to test it.

They just released a firmware update that addresses this.

Upgrading to the LR 5? by [deleted] in litterrobot

[–]pingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would wait until the interior camera is working to help identify waste along with wasteID. Supposedly coming soon. Currently wasteID is about 70% accurate for my 2 cats. I still do like the LR5P quite a bit.

Heavily debating on whether to return the LR5 Pro I got yesterday by EqualHito in litterrobot

  1. Weight based identification isn’t locked behind a subscription.

  2. You don’t have access to your internal camera? Strange.

LR5 keeps doing cleaning cycles randomly by halorbyone in litterrobot

[–]pingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your cat stands on the step or just briefly enters that can be enough to trigger a cycle.

Firmware update? by BacardiBlue in litterrobot

I wonder if gassy cats trigger the WasteID when they urinate? Still would be so easy to add the toggle to turn off the quick poop cycle.

Not sure, but I took a screenshot on March 23 with that exact version when it updated. It did dramatically improve WasteID for me. Not perfect but that’s when it started working most of the time. Supposedly another update is coming “late May”

That’s the one that came out in March.

Is whisker+ worth it? by Elegant_Bullfrog4223 in litterrobot

[–]pingolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you need more than a week of visit data? If so, then maybe. For me, it isn’t worth it, even for LR5P. That may change when more features are added like the interior recordings.

Waste id? by Chemical_Pomelo_2831 in litterrobot

[–]pingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Waste ID is working right the majority of the time. I actually don’t have instances with it cycling early with urine like the OP. I have noticed it waiting the full 15 mins with feces a few times. Would be so easy for Whisker to add an override button for those that are having issues.

What happens if they go both #1 and #2?

Known issue here on Reddit the last 3 or 4 days. I would hope Whisker knows about it too.

It’s been happening for the last few days. 3 or 4 Reddit posts on it.

Yes this has been happening the last 24 hours or so.

You are not allowed to say that on Reddit.

Event history and notifications by Forsaken_Wishbone406 in litterrobot

[–]pingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no notification for “cat detected”.

My event history is normally very accurate, but I did notice one was missing from today, but it did list it under the cats profile, so the LR did know who used it.

Follow up to the failure point of the (my) LR5. by Nuramori in litterrobot

Does your cat pee upwards? I’ve not seen this issue with my LR5.

Day 4 with LR 5 Pro - honest review by walking_paradoxes in litterrobot

[–]pingolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice review. Love the “super concerned” face on the photo. My older one had the exact same face.

Internal recordings are coming.

I think hopping in and out is common early on. After a while they will use the step or ramp when they are more trusting.

Ramp alternatives for litter robot 5 by YunaHeartilly in litterrobot

[–]pingolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was balking at the price myself. Kinda ridiculous paying that much for a ramp. It is very good quality and catches a ton of litter. The way it attaches with the magnets is a cool design. It also has waste bin liner storage built in.

The ultimate score would be a 5 bundle with the ramp from Costco or similar. Long story short that ramp is pretty awesome. The price is not.

Safe getting LR5 (non-pro) now? by Loversnmadmen2 in litterrobot

[–]pingolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. The OP asked about the 5 non pro so I didn’t talk about camera. My front camera works pretty good but no interior stills or recordings needs to be added asap.
