Litter Robot vacuum.turn_on/vacuum.turn_off deprecation.

[dsluo]

The problem

I got a notification that vacuum.turn_on/vacuum.turn_off will be deprecated in HA 2024.2. While this probably makes sense for actual robot vacuums, the behavior is not exactly the same for the Litter Robot as turning it off and on again forces it to cycle regardless of the state of the bin.

Maybe an additional service should be added for this functionality?

Read the entire deprecation notification. Does that answer your question? The service name just changed

[dsluo]

Litter-Robot vaccum support for the vacuum.turn_on service is deprecated and will be removed in Home Assistant 2024.2; Please adjust any automation or script that uses the service to instead call vacuum.start and select submit below to mark this issue as resolved.

I interpreted this to mean that turn_on had different behavior from start, where turn_on corresponded to the on button and start corresponded to the manual cycle button in the app. After looking at the source, this is indeed not the case.

Maybe the wording for this deprecation warning could be more explicit that the service was renamed, but that's a separate issue.
