A full-featured Petkit experience, natively in Home Assistant
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
light | Light | |
switch | Switch or outlet | |
fan | Fan | |
camera | Camera | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) |
What people report
Cloud integration for the PETKIT family; new models are added once someone shares a device, and some behaviour is firmware-side.

| PetKit litter boxes | Works | HACS integration triggers Roborock sweep routines after cat useSaved copyMy Roborock sweeps in front of the automatic litter boxes after a cat finishes.

The automation won’t run past bed time, or when the robot battery is charging to complete a scheduled job.

| PETKIT Fresh Element 3 (D3-1) | Partly works Cloud | Loudness resets on firmware reboot; PETKIT firmware bug, no workaroundSaved copyEnvironment - Home Assistant Core 2026.7.4 - PetKit Fresh Element 3 New (model D3-1), firmware 1.462 - Observed via the RobertD502/home-assistant-petkit integration v0.1.14 (the predecessor of this one). Reported here because this is the actively maintained integration for the PetKit API family and two of the asks below are integration-side; the underlying behaviour is device/cloud-side, so it should reproduce identically through py-petkit-api. ### Observed behaviour The feeder's actual speaker loudness silently drops to its default after a device-side reboot, while the cloud-stored volume … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #292 · 2026-07 | |

| PETKIT water fountains W4/W5/CTW2/CTW3 | Requested Local | Native local Bluetooth support proposed; PR closed unmergedSaved copySummary Implements native direct Bluetooth support for PetKit water fountains (W4/W5/CTW2/CTW3), resolving #31. Users no longer need a Petkit hub or cloud connectivity to get fountain state and send commands. Works with both local Bluetooth adapters and ESPHome Bluetooth proxies (HA's bluetooth component abstracts this transparently). ## Architecture (review feedback from @Jezza34000, 2026-05-02, leading design) The integration now offers three connection modes instead of a single boolean toggle: | Mode | Behavior | | --- | --- | | `cloud_only` *(default)* | All state via Petkit account + … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | PR #203 · 2026-03 |
