Device normal info

  • Shaw Cat Litter Box V5

Currently only weight, excretion duration and excretion times are available in the integration.
It would be nice to have all the entities and buttons available via the integration, especially since the litter box does not store settings and it gets reset to default (auto cleanup enabled, IR sensor set to off, clumping set back to 3 minutes and cleaning interval set back to 15 minutes) after a power outage.
