Wonder to be able to disentangle these devices from invasive phone apps.
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.
