I found this (GitHub - lafriks/python-karcher: Kärcher Home Robots python client) on Github, and would be happy if in the future my Kärcher vacuum robot would be controllable via Home Assistant.
Or does anyone know a way to do this already?

I would also like to integrate my RCV 5 into Homeassistant. Does anyone have an idea?
The library mentioned only fetches information, it would not allow control. So just wrapping the library in an integration would not get you all the way. It might be possible to extend the library, but one would expect the code owner would have done that if they could. The code owner asks for help, because it seems there’s encrypted data involved, so that might be why. And last but not least: there’s not been a change for a year, so the library may be no longer maintained. Or it could just work as far as it does. So don’t get your hopes up too much.
