ha-rest980-roomba VS lovelace-xiaomi-vacuum-map-card

I use this project to integrate my S9 into Home Assistant as it lets you do room based cleaning via HA. When following those steps, use the “HA Addon” section in each step to keep things simple.

You can also follow this to integrate your Roomba with Home Assistant, along with room based cleaning. The controls are sent to the Roomba over your local WiFi with MQTT.

I used this guide to set it all up. The map overlay that I created could use some work - I traced around a builders floor plan of the house but it doesn't quite line up with what the Roomba sees

To fix the issue use Rest980 and optionally PHP-Nginx with HomeAssistant - create an automation trigger based on the robot state (evacAllowed: false) and update the state to (evacAllowed: true) with some faked Cleanbase data to trick the robot into allowing the Cleanbase to evacuate ("dock":{"known":true,"pn":"4638607","state":301,"fwVer":"4.0.3"}). It's been rock solid for me.

For me (Roborock) works https://github.com/PiotrMachowski/Lovelace-Xiaomi-Vacuum-Map-card. It should also work for roomba.

In case you mean adding to HA: check if u can add it over the Xiaomi Miio integration and then use the xiaomi vacuum map extractor and card (both repos say the S5 is supported). I then defined zones and call the commands in a script which I expose to Google Assistant as a scene called 'clean the bathroom' for instance.

Currently I'm using stock firmware, rooted. I just came back From Valetudo..it seems pretty stable to me, but it won't work well with the Home Assistant custom integration that I want to use. The area cleanup feature of that integration is the main way I'm using the vacuum (when I command itmanually) and it looks amazing.

If you only use cloud map extractor - its only visual. But if you install this - https://github.com/PiotrMachowski/lovelace-xiaomi-vacuum-map-card You can send commands to vacuum, draw sections etc., and it's using map from above integration. My vacuum drive to kitchen, to empty, every 10 cleanings, then google speaker says something like "Fuck that shit, i'm not cleaning anymore, until my bin is full". But i did it all in nodered, if you like, i will send you flow. I also hava aqara swithes, to controling light, but if i click both two times, vacuum drive to clean that room.
