100% the Litter Robot is amazing. ( Except for my older cat, she's pushing 19, had to build a ramp for her. ) But I also agree there are limits to what needs IoTing. I don't live in a house large enough that I can't go see if the box needs cleaning within about 20s. I also sure as hell don't need a notification on my phone that one of them just made a deposit.

I have one, the cat loves it and it's very easy to clean. No need to enable the wi-fi. Front panel indicators are more than sufficient. "Wi-fi enabled" on things that don't need wi-fi is a marketing gimmick that's way over-used.
