Valetudo VS Roomba980-Python

Perhaps contact somebody from the Valetudo community with your problem:

Maybe it can be solved with a simple firmware patch.

https://valetudo.cloud is a project which allows you to use many vacuums without connecting to the cloud.

Roborock (Xiaomi) and Dreame are the big players from what I see. Both conveniently have models that can be "de-clouded" with Valetudo:

Is your model covered here? This sort of garbage is why I bought one off the list. https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo

This would be a good start https://valetudo.cloud/

What Roomba do you have? I ask because I am the author of Roomba980-Python, and the latest firmwares for current Roombas (i, s and j series) have removed the tracking ability (and changed the way that the password has to be retrieved).

I’ll need to set up an api WEB Server following this guide - Roomba980-Python

In order to achieve this you must set up an api WEB server by following this guide https://github.com/NickWaterton/Roomba980-Python

There are third party libraries that show real time maps like this Still trying to get it to work with the j7 (I don’t have a j7).

The Roomba robots can be controlled locally (block the Internet access via VLAN or firewall rules). You need to host the smarts yourself or use something like Home Assistant.

“Home Assistant” is an open source home automation system, it uses my Roomba980 plug in.

There are a bunch of libraries out there for doing this, I wrote a Python one (used in HA) https://github.com/NickWaterton/Roomba980-Python

Sort of. If you issue the command “locate” via https://github.com/NickWaterton/Roomba980-Python (dorita980 probably works as well) then the Roomba beeps for about 1 minute - even when docked.
