This is a very interesting technical overview. I never thought about it from this side. Thanks for showing me. Can this be done with any gadget or just a certain brand? I am still reading various information about such vacuum cleaners as in this article for example. I would like something powerful enough and with good wi-fi, since my house has thick walls.
Thanks a lot man,
I was able to make it work with the map extractor integration. It's very cool seeing the map updates almost live.
The only thing I different from you is that I integrated with Alexa using the emulated hue and created helpers as input_booleans to control the automations on Alexa.
Your blog was very helpful.
Dear Bogdan
Thank you for sharing. Being a noob could I please ask you to give some details on installing the vacuum cards on HA. I have everything set up so far with the vacuum available, the data downloaded as described by Piotr. However, I am stuck at getting the map from my vacuum into HA. Somewhere there is a step missing in Piotr manual after downloading the .is files to a local www folder and putting the resource into the HA.
Kind Regards,
Nolle
Thanks for that - it was great tip. Ill definitely try it
For those who wants to do that easier - Roborock Plus skill CAN do rooms cleaning - please refer below (all credits to DANIEL ALJURE)
*"If you want to clean a specific room using a voice command here’s how to do it.
You'll need to create custom routine within the Alexa app to basically have alexa speak or repeat the specific roborock command line to itself whenever you use your custom commands
When selecting alexa actions, choose custom action and fill in with the appropriate commands (see example bellow). Make sure the room names match the one created within your roborock map.
Example of the alexa routine:
If Alexa hears "alexa, clean bedroom" Alexa action "alexa, ask robo rock to clean bedroom" Note how the word “robo rock” is split. If you write Roborock (one word) it will not work "*
