I used my Litter Robot for about 6 months, and ended up selling it because:

• It still has to be cleaned. Once a month you are supposed to disassemble and clean the various parts. I found this experience to be pretty nasty. Definitely worse than scooping a box.
• I have a Maine Coon, and she ended up with dirty litter in her fur all of the time.
  Edit:
• The drawer is small and has to be emptied often if you have multiple cats. I get that you’re still supposed to have multiple boxes available, but that thing cost exponentially more than other litter boxes, so it’s hard not to see it as an attempt at an all-in-one solution.

Not sure how you can see any equivalence between necessary utilities and a space mission…

It makes wifi! I’d say that stability and performance are probably identical. I don’t especially mistrust Ubiquiti, but running open source feels nice, and it gives me nerd cred.

I run OpenWRT on my Unifi AP :D

I have worked with a gigabit ISP for a number of years, and personally haven’t seen that much improvement in stock firmware. If anything, I feel like it’s more a matter of hardware improving to the point that the clunky stock firmware can run ok.

Rhasspy works great for that
