OnlyCat Integration for Home Assistant

HomeAssistant integration for OnlyCat flaps.

Features

• 🏠 Know whether your pet is home or on the hunt using the Device Tracker
  • 🕒 Know when your pet was last seen by the device, whether it transited or not
  • 🐾 In case your pet chooses another exit, you can override the presence using the set_pet_location service
• 🔎 Keep track of your device and build automations with it using binary sensors for:
  • 📶 Flap connection status
  • 🕒 Flap events (including timestamps, RFID codes, trigger source, and event classification)
  • 🐭 Contraband detection
  • 🔐 Lock state
  • 👤 Human detection
  • ⚠️ Device errors
  • 🎥 Last activity video and image
• 🚪 Manage the active door policy manually or using automations
• 📋 View and change door policy information via sensors and the update_device_policy service
• 🔄 Control your flap remotely using reboot and remote unlock buttons
• Check and manage your existing device policies

Common automation ideas enabled by this integration include:

• 🚨 Switch the door policy to "Locked" for a longer time period than usual when contraband is detected
• 💦 Deter intruders by triggering a sprinkler when an unknown RFID code is detected
• 🧹 Start your robot vacuum when your pet leaves the house
• 😻 Roll out the red carpet for your pet by activating welcome lights or triggering a feeder upon arrival
