The problem / 问题详情

The sensors sensor.xyz_doorstatus, sensor.xyz_outletstatus and sensor.xyz_device_fault do not change their status so that, for example, device errors or blockages are not recognised.

In addition, these attributes are always set to 5. As far as I understand it, an attribute should reflect the amount of food dispensed.

feeding_measure: 5 feedserve.outfood_num: 5 feedserve.outfood_id: 5

Do we have any update on this? I am getting an error in the official Xiaomi Home app that the doors are blocked, but HA is not reporting any change in doorstatus or error entity state.

[z-master42]

Since version 7.20, sensor.xxx_outfood_num has been available as a separate sensor/entity, but it still only displays 5 and nothing else.

In addition, binary_sensor.xxx_outletstatus and binary_sensor.xxx_doorstatus have been newly created. The old entities no longer work. However, there is some confusion with these, at least for me. I think door status means the lid at the top for refilling and outlet status is the small flap at the food outlet. But it seems to be the other way round, which makes no sense to me.

Hi @z-master42, I can confirm the same. Anyway, it is just a naming problem, you can rename the entities as you wish.

What seems to be much bigger issue is that both fault and feeding door entities do not update their status. My feeder has clogged a few times in the past and I had no information about it.

[z-master42]

Yes, I renamed it a long time ago. And yes, only the sensor for the top cover works.

It's rubbish that the blocking error message doesn't work. I think there was a firmware update for the feeder some time ago that changed the mechanism. Previously, when it became stiff, it simply turned briefly in the opposite direction and then tried again. Now it just keeps turning at will so that it pushes the feeder up and the lid pops out of its catch. I also have to say that the dry food I have in there is actually too big for the appliance.
