It reverse-engineers the unofficial Whisker app API to provide programmatic control over self-cleaning litter boxes and pet feeders. The package wraps authentication (via pycognito and pyjwt), device discovery, and command execution into a simple async interface.\n\nTypical use involves creating an Account, connecting with Whisker credentials, then calling methods like start_cleaning(), set_sleep_mode(), or get_activity_history() on discovered robots. The package also includes an optional MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI assistant integration, letting tools like Claude control your robots through natural language. Because the API is reverse-engineered and undocumented by Whisker, it may break without warning.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own Whisker robots and want programmatic control. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and offers both direct async control and AI assistant integration. The main caveat is that it relies on a reverse-engineered API with no official support\u2014breakage is possible if Whisker changes their backend. Check the project's issue tracker before installing to confirm current stability."},"id":"pylitterbot","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylitterbot","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylitterbot.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pylitterbot/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-03","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pylitterbot","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python package for controlling Whisker automatic robots."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":83080,"position":14102,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2025.6.4"}
