About

Petkit is a Home Assistant integration that brings Petkit pet devices into Home Assistant through the vendor's cloud. It exposes feeders, litter boxes, fountains, air purifiers and cameras as binary sensors, buttons, sensors, switches, numbers, selects, texts, lights, fans, images and a camera stream. Commands cover feeding, settings and manual actions, while monitoring covers feeding history, water intake, litter box usage and device health. A Bluetooth relay option lets another Petkit device keep a fountain connected locally. Photos and videos from the devices can be downloaded to a chosen media path, filtered by event type, and deleted after a set number of days; videos need an active Care+ subscription. Live video works from camera devices, with Firefox not supported, and selected Petkit events can raise persistent notifications in Home Assistant. Setup is done in the UI with a Petkit username and password.

After setup

Always-on RebroadcastKeep the internal rebroadcast session prewarmed so browser viewing, WHEP clients, and generic stream consumers of this camera can connect quickly. The rebroadcast stream can also be reused by other consumers. This keeps one upstream session alive and uses more device and cloud resources.
