dorita980 VS rest980

I installed this tool via npm on my MacBook.

This is for example a library to send commands to your roomba https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980

Please share here instead, others like me are also interested and actively https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980/issues/163 looking for solutions.

I'm aware of https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980 that I used in the past. I believe that should allow me to skip the app entirely. That might be sufficient to avoid for the device to "phone home" but I'm not sure. I could use WireShark to check and eventually use e.g a PiHole to filter this kind of requests. Ideally I'd flash my (relatively) old model with an open firmware but I'm not sure that exists.

I think I just found the problem, I looked for it before but somehow missed it (prob because I didn't know on came from Mqtt at the time). I think your firmware is version 1.x or whatever, which uses a different definition for Local. It doesn't include the MqttClient. The docs for that are here so try that and see if it works

My Roomba is on a VLAN without internet access and is controlled via rest980[1] running in a container. It has a basic but functional web interface. Valentudo is probably nicer but I opted to trade that for the broad iRobot install base and spare part/consumable availability.

Im still new to api’s and have been trying to connect to my roomba using one. I have firmware Version 22.29.3 and have been trying to connect to the roombas rest api using the rest980 on github. When I call the api, I get the software version of the wrapper in json form as a response, so the server is up. But when I try send a command to the roomba, I get an Endpoint not found error.

Basically, title. Would it be possible to do this using other software? like rest980?

On all internet connected robots (600, 800, 900, e5, i7/i7+, and S9 / S9+) you can use the Dorita980 or Rest980 SDKs to pull the robot's state, which includes all of the battery information (voltage, cycles, status, authenticity, etc.)
