    A few of the Xaiomi's and Viomi's are rootable. I have a Gen1 Xaiomi and it's brilliant. I got ssh access to the ubuntu install and installed https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo and run it 100% local via my home-assistant install.

  • Valetudo is a cloud-free web interface for robot vacuum cleaners

    The very first thing I did on my old Xiaomi Gen1 was to root it with information from this repo https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud/wiki

    It's come a long way since the early days and with valetudo it's really easy and convenient to hook the vacuum up to Home Assistant. It's actually one of the reasons I was recommending Xiaomi vacuum cleaners to friends and family. Unfortunately they have recently changed the firmware password making it impossible to root without using a serial connection.

    Never once has my vacuum connected outside my own network. I know many instructions say you need to install the app to root, however that's not true. You could upload using https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio as long as the vacuum isn't provisioned yet.

  • What is the purpose of this USB connector in S5 Max?
    1 project | /r/Roborock | 19 Jan 2021
    Here https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud/issues/103 somebody claims there'd(or atleast in in non-MAX version) would be ADB listening but that just doesn't make any sense to me, why would anybody mess their simple Linux system with Android in such a way? I haven't seen any other reference that there'd be Android onboard.

    Also, hacking and reverse engineering devices is fun, but my goal here is to get a floor cleaning robot that doesn't leak data outside and can be controlled from HA, and I am not really willing to spend too much time in order to get it done. I have no problem in disassembling, soldering, flashing and hacking but I am looking for a reasonably stable, relatively straightforward solution, rather than another thing to add to the ever growing list of stuff I have to actively keep maintaining.
