Does anybody have any experience with Shark AI vs Roborock and their integrations with HA? I was cleaning towards Roborock, but serious … Shark AI has a big sale on their Shark AI + bin, priced $300 less than Roborock S7+. It’s hard to pass this up, but I do want something that integrates with HA, and … well … works.
Thoughts?
It’s hard to pass up Shark with that price difference. I feel like I’m “missing something” here.
I bought it. Super good deal. APIs? The SharkIQ integration works, but it’s moot. I would love ot play with an HA UI on the vacuum, but no good.
However, I LOVE the vacuum! It’s been the best robo vac I’ve had so far. It does exactly what I need: it self-empties throughout it’s cycle. I can finally, finally just let it run, and clean out its bin every few days, instead of worrying about cleaning it out few times ever cycle.
I’m so tempted to get a second one for my basement, but I hadn’t one for a a few years, so I’m not going to rush it for now.
Love the mapping capabilities and performance for the price but it’s missed a scheduled cleaning because the vacuum went into an unavailable state… Consequently, I’ve added this automation:
I just got a RV2502AE and ran it today. It does connect, and shows some basic info. It seems to know when it is docked, but during its first run, it seemed to not be able to find the status.
