Petkit Yumshare Dual (Gen 2)
The Petkit Yumshare Dual is an automatic pet feeder with two food hoppers and a built-in camera. Each feeding — manual or scheduled — can mix food from both hoppers independently. In addition to scheduled feeding, it provides live video streaming, motion detection, pet recognition, and eating detection. Localkit exposes all these features as Home Assistant entities via MQTT.
Installation
Localkit is installed through the Provisioning entry in the Web UI navigation. Once provisioning has succeeded, you are asked for a script — run the install script from the device shell over telnet (see How to connect):
wget -qO- http://tool.localkit.io/scripts/d4sh2/2.0.0/install | shTo remove Localkit again:
wget -qO- http://tool.localkit.io/scripts/d4sh2/1.0.0/uninstall | shThe script downloads all necessary files, places them in the correct directory, and patches the app-run script. Reboot the device afterwards to activate the changes.

Feeding Schedules
The feeder supports time-based feeding schedules. Each schedule entry defines a time of day and a per-hopper portion amount (Hopper 1 and Hopper 2), so you can mix food from both hoppers at any feeding time. Schedules are stored in dedicated schedule tables and processed by Localkit to trigger feed actions at the configured times.
A feeding triggered by the device's own schedule reports only a feed_over event — Localkit records the activity from that event, including the dispensed amounts.
