Creation of Vorwerk Kobold Component

SkylightXD · May 15, 2025, 9:01am

Should we change the text in the repo so that the visitor now it is maintained?

This sounds promissing…

Could someone please give some more instruction how to setup the integration. I do not get it, since it seems to work different from other hacs integrations.

Maschbaer · May 17, 2025, 2:33pm

May I ask if someone could have a look at this Homebridge plugin, which stopped working too. https://github.com/himbeles/homebridge-kobold.
Maybe it can be fixed in the same way as the Home-Assistant integration. This would make a lot of people happy out there…

I already tried my best to find some kind of link to the fix presented here. However, I am no programmer…

Thanks in advance,
Jan

Hello @Cobi

Since latest HASS update 2025.11.1 this integration doesn’t work anymore.

Could you please allow issue creation on the github repo ?

Same issue here…

FKi · November 8, 2025, 11:52pm

Change imports (in vacuum.py):

from homeassistant.components.vacuum import (
    ATTR_STATUS,
    StateVacuumEntity,
    VacuumEntityFeature,
)

change feature flags (also in vacuum.py):

SUPPORT_VORWERK = (
    VacuumEntityFeature.PAUSE
    | VacuumEntityFeature.RETURN_HOME
    | VacuumEntityFeature.STOP
    | VacuumEntityFeature.START
    | VacuumEntityFeature.CLEAN_SPOT
    | VacuumEntityFeature.STATE
    | VacuumEntityFeature.LOCATE
)

don’t forget to save and restart

tsloms · November 16, 2025, 7:47am

This worked for me as well

Najihel · November 23, 2025, 10:12am

Hi @FKi

Thanks for tips.

But some actions failed like Start and Go back to dock

vacuum/start. name 'STATE_IDLE' is not defined

vacuum/return_to_base. name 'STATE_CLEANING' is not defined

Did you have some fixes ? Maybe a fork to work on.

Thanks

Najihel · December 5, 2025, 8:38am

Hello there,

Someone ( @bndtblds ) create a full working fork : GitHub - bndtblds/homeassistant-vorwerk: Home assistant integration to control Vorwerk VR Vacuum cleaners

SkylightXD · January 14, 2026, 7:49pm

Thanks for the hin!

I got this error message:

Einrichtungsfehler, wird erneut versucht: Unable to communicate with robot

Any idears how I can solve this?

Thanks and regards

sibelle-labs · February 5, 2026, 7:38pm

Status now ? @bndtblds or @cobirnm repo ? Thanks a lot

tsloms · February 21, 2026, 10:31am

Both are working at the moment as far as I know
