litterrobot integration fails to correctly report entity state

[julian-poidevin]

The problem

Using the litterrobot integration I setup some automation triggered by the entity state :

platform: state
entity_id:
  - vacuum.crew_dragon_4_litter_box
from: cleaning
to: docked

I realized in some cases the litter is cleaning but the state is not changing in home-assistant. Other entities of the litter are correctly updated (status_code, waste_drawer, litter_level ...).

On the following capture, you can see around 11:04 that the Status code changes from "Cat Sensor Timing" to "Ready", the waste drawer value changed. The litter indeed cycled because I heard it and the logs appear in my whisker app :

How come the integration does not detect the cycle ? Is this related to the integration code or is it an API problem on Whisker side (I doubt that since the smartphone application is reporting correctly ?).
