  • Ask HN: Robot vacuum but without the privacy invasion?
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Aug 2023
    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.

  • iRobot Roomba i7 api
    1 project | /r/api | 17 Jan 2023
    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.)

  • More Roomba2 issues…

    It looks like the J7 uses a different cypher which is why your other robot is working. https://github.com/karlvr/homebridge-roomba2/issues/106 However changing it will make the other one stop working so here’s a workaround until a fix is released by the developer:
  • j7 and Homebridge Help

    There’s a mismatch between the cipher used by the roomba2 plugin (actually uses dorita980 in the background) and what’s supported by the j7. https://github.com/karlvr/homebridge-roomba2/issues/81 go there and you should find the instructions to get it done. Requires manually editing one of the files in the dorita980 module.

    It sounds more like you just want a trigger point to tell the bot to clean a specific room. If that's what you want, here's a github feature request for that in the homebridge plug in: https://github.com/karlvr/homebridge-roomba2/issues/9
