If you’re shopping for a smart automatic litter box, you’ve probably discovered that there are several on the market, and a number of them offer auto-scooping, visit logs, and app alerts. You may have also noticed that, for most, this is about where the “smarts” end. And that’s just a wasted opportunity. 

Wasted because your cat’s pee and poop can tell you a lot about how they’re doing . In fact, cats are so good at hiding illness, the contents of their cat litter box might be the only sign you get when something’s wrong.

That’s why we created the Luma Smart Litter Box. Auto-scooping, visit logs, and app alerts are just the start of what it can do. Powered by advanced AI and developed over four years of rigorous research and testing, Luma can tell you what your cats—and other smart litter boxes—can’t.

Advanced AI-powered waste analysis

Some self cleaning cat boxes can tell you the time your cat used it, their weight, and not a lot else, but Luma transforms the simple act of scooping into a detailed log. Luma's sophisticated AI knows the difference between pee and poop, and solid versus loose, and logs what it sees in the app. With more detailed information about your cat’s business, you can spot those subtle signals—right when they happen. You’ll also get critical alerts for abnormal use like changes in frequency or no activity in 24 hours. 

True multi-cat recognition

Most smart boxes don’t offer multi-cat recognition or they rely on cat weight or facial recognition, which can be inaccurate if your cats are similar. Luma uses its camera and AI-powered full-body recognition technology to accurately tell the difference between up to 10 cats from any angle, even behind. This ensures that every visit is accurately assigned to the right cat, so when a change is spotted, you’ll know whose poop is whose.

Livestreaming and recording

Most smart litter boxes don’t capture your cat’s usage on camera, or they only record visits for a very short time. The Luma Smart Litter Box records for up to 10 minutes, takes photos of your cat’s waste, and logs it in the app. Or check the livestream anytime to see what your cat’s up to. 

Active odor control

While odor control isn’t technically a “smart” feature, it’s certainly an important one. That’s why we gave Luma a 3-part odor control system. To start, Luma automatically scoops your cat’s waste into a sealed drawer to contain odors. Then a built-in fan circulates the air through a carbon deodorizing filter to actively remove odors from the air after each visit or on the schedule you set in the app. Most other smart litter boxes use passive deodorization methods, like basic carbon adsorption that can let odors linger or escape, or chemical fragrances that only mask the smell.

Easy maintenance

What’s the point of a self-cleaning litter box if you still have to spend ages cleaning it? We asked ourselves that same question when we were designing Luma. Most other smart litter boxes require tools or multiple steps to disassemble and clean, and we were determined to change all that. So with Luma, you can take out the litter basket with 2 quick, tool-free steps. Then just give it a rinse and pop it back in place. Easy, breezy, done.

Designed for cat comfort

Another thing we want to improve on is cat comfort, so instead of the enclosed interior you see on some smart litter boxes, we made Luma’s semi-open. This increases ventilation and helps cats of all sizes feel at ease when they go, even the ones who like to do a few circles finding that perfect pose. 

From advanced waste analysis and true multi-cat recognition to active odor control and easy maintenance, the Luma Smart Litter Box has other boxes beat. That’s because it’s not just an auto litter box—it’s next-generation pet care.
