self-cleaning litter box? (lemmy.d.thewooskeys.com)

Does anyone have any experience with self-cleaning cat litter boxes? The ability to connect one to Home Assistant doesn't really seem useful to me - maybe it would be nice for HA to alert you when the litter box needs to be changed. But I'm really just curious if any particular model of self-cleaning litter box is any good - even by itself, without any "smart" features. We now have 4 cats and it would be nice to not have to clean litter boxes manually 1-2 times every day.

Cost and my old cat not willing to try it are the two things that hold me back from getting an LR4.. It it is wider but still not open so I am not sure he would use it.

These things are ridiculously expensive. I will say that we have a hesitant cat, and she eventually started using these litter boxes as well.

As previously stated I have an LR3 already that my cat STOPPED using... Not sure the LR4 opening is different enough to get him back in one.
