## Description

Designed for CatGenie connected devices, this extension lets you pair CatGenie units via BLE, configure their Wi-Fi, and manage multiple devices from a single interface. Register cats, view cat diaries, and track bathroom activity with a weekly statistics chart and a last-visits timeline (up to 100 visits).

Control CatGenie operations and settings directly: start/pause cleaning, set friendly names, adjust cleaning modes, and apply child locks. Access the Cat News page, receive notifications for visits, firmware updates, or device issues, and use General Settings for profiles, troubleshooting, feedback, and alerts.

## Review summary

Overall, the CatGenie app is seen as workable only when it stays connected and responsive. The most common issues are persistent connectivity failures between the app and device, stability problems requiring uninstall/reinstall, and unreliable diary/scheduling data that miscounts visits or cycles. Users also report duplicated or missed notifications, and in some cases trouble with initial setup. A minority report smooth operation, especially with newer AI versions, but many reviews suggest the app lags behind the hardware in reliability and user experience.

### Pros

- When it works, the app is responsive and supports core tasks like setup and configuration.
- CatGenie AI version shows good connectivity and easy pairing for some users.
- Some users find the app easier to use than a traditional litter box and it can feel like a helpful companion to managing multiple cats.
- The app can provide diary/health indicators and visit logs when data updates correctly, offering useful insights.

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity issues between the app and CatGenie (WiFi/connectivity loss).
- App freezes or becomes unstable, often requiring uninstall/reinstall to function.
- Scheduling and diary data are unreliable: visits not recorded or timing off, health indicators inaccurate.
- Notifications often duplicate or fail to update; inconsistent alerts.
- Difficult initial setup in some cases (couldn’t create an account or connect on first use).
