Litter-Robot makes self-cleaning litter boxes, and its parent company Whisker also sells smart feeders. Its Wi-Fi models use the Whisker app for alerts and controls.

The good news: A Litter-Robot keeps cleaning on its own even without Wi-Fi, so the smart features are a bonus rather than the core. Whisker has kept older models like the Litter-Robot 3 Connect working in its current app.
The bad news: Alerts, cleaning history and remote control depend on Whisker’s app and cloud. Whisker is private and shares little about its finances.
If you own Litter-Robot
- Learn the buttons on the unit, so you can run it without the app.
- Keep the firmware updated through the Whisker app.
