Dreame Z10 Pro (valetudo-ed): extra auto empty

1

As some of you running this brilliant addition to our household may have noticed, the Z10 Pro does not like small leaves, sticks and other slightly larger debree in its dust bin. It tends to get stuck and just one “auto empty” is not enough to “unstick” it.

But of course there is home assistant to the rescue with an automation for that. It runs an x amount of extra auto empty cycles with 30 sec. intervals:

Start off with a helper (input_number.auto_empty_vacuum_repeat / icon: mdi:repeat-variant / min: 1 / max: 10)

Then create a script:

z10pro_auto_empty:
  alias: Z10Pro Auto Empty
  sequence:
  - service: mqtt.publish
    data:
      topic: valetudo/Z10pro/AutoEmptyDockManualTriggerCapability/trigger/set
      payload: PERFORM
  mode: single
  icon: mdi:vacuum

and last but not least the automation to call the script as many times as you set in the input_number:

- id: '1661506951446'
  alias: Extra Auto Empty Vacuum
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
    - vacuum.valetudo_z10pro
    from: returning
    to: docked
  condition: []
  action:
  - repeat:
      count: '{{ states.input_number.auto_empty_vacuum_repeat.state | int }}'
      sequence:
      - delay:
          hours: 0
          minutes: 0
          seconds: 30
          milliseconds: 0
      - service: script.z10pro_auto_empty
        data: {}
  mode: single

Hope someone finds this helpful.
