[APP][PRO] PetKit Smart Devices — Pura Max & YumShare

:hourglass_not_done: Under Review: This app has been submitted to the Homey App Store and is currently being reviewed by Athom. It will be available for download once approved.

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

I’m excited to share my new Homey app for PetKit smart pet devices. If you own a PetKit litter box or feeder and want to integrate it into your Homey smart home — this app is for you.


Supported Devices

Device Model Description
PetKit Pura Max T4 Self-cleaning litter box with K3 air spray
PetKit YumShare Dual-Hopper D4SH Automatic pet feeder with camera

Features

Pura Max (Litter Box)

  • Litter level, litter weight, waste bin level & status
  • Device state (idle, cleaning, cat inside, maintenance, …)
  • Cat weight tracking, last visit time, daily usage count
  • K3 air spray status (battery, liquid level, spraying state)
  • Deodorant & desiccant remaining days
  • Error alerts, WiFi signal, online status
  • Remote control: start/stop cleaning, odor removal, dump litter, power toggle, light toggle

YumShare (Feeder)

  • Food levels for left & right hopper

  • Feeding schedule, feed count today, next feed time
  • Eating detection (currently eating, eat count, average duration)
  • Feeder door status, battery level, camera status

Flow Cards

  • 8 conditions (e.g. litter box is clean, feeder has food, bowl has food, …)

Setup

:warning: Important: PetKit only allows one active session per account. Using this app will sign you out of the PetKit mobile app.

Recommended approach:

  1. Create a second PetKit account (e.g. with a different email)
  2. In the PetKit app, go to Settings → Family Sharing and invite the new account
  3. Accept the invitation on the second account
  4. Use the second account’s credentials in this Homey app

This way your main PetKit app stays logged in while Homey uses the secondary account.

App setup:

  1. Install the app from the Homey App Store
  2. Go to App Settings → PetKit Smart Devices
  3. Enter your (secondary) PetKit email, password, and country
  4. Click Test Connection to verify
  5. Go to Devices → Add Device → PetKit Smart Devices and pair your devices

Screenshots

(I’ll add screenshots soon)


:test_tube: Test Version

The app is currently in review. In the meantime, you can install the test version to try it out early:

Note: Test versions may contain bugs and are not officially reviewed by Athom yet. Use at your own risk. Feedback is very welcome — just reply in this thread!


Known Limitations

  • This app uses an unofficial PetKit API (reverse-engineered). PetKit may change it at any time, which could temporarily break functionality.
  • Only the two devices listed above are supported. I don’t own other PetKit devices, so I can’t test or add them myself.
  • Camera live stream is not supported (PetKit uses a proprietary streaming protocol).

Want to Help?

  • Bug reports: Please post in this topic with your device model and a description of the issue.
  • Additional devices: If you own a different PetKit device and want to help add support, reach out! I’d need API response samples from your device.
  • Donations: If you enjoy the app and want to support development, there’s a PayPal donate button on the app’s store page. Completely optional — never required.

Thanks for trying it out! Let me know if you have any questions or feedback. :cat_face:

This post will be updated as new devices are added.

Hi is it possible to add Petkit Yumshare solo with camera and maybe also the fountain Petkit eversweet 3 pro?

When I log in it shows found 3 devices ( I have the PuraMax, Yumshare solo and the Eversweet)

Adding the device shows than only the Pura Max and Yumshare. I can than add the PuraMax, the Yumshare not because it’s Solo see screen

Thank you
