Ok solved by myself. Thanks to the Thor App on iOS, I have grabbed the BLID and password when starting the app. Anyhow, it does not work to connect it with hoobs / Homekit, but that might be a Hoobs problem.
Excellent guide. Thank you. Although, password retrieval from Roomba 980 seems to a bit more tricky now. I’m unable to get the password. Even though the python script detects Roomba, no password it retrieved.
J7 owner here…very frustrating but there IS a solution (at least for me) to get BLID and PWD from Windows.
- install as in Flemming’s post
- update pip (from python directory in a CMD window): python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
- install “requests” (this was a continuing problem for me - kept getting a "no module named ‘requests’ " message): pip install requests
Hit the home button until you get the blue light and immediately:
From \python\roomba directory issue the command: getpassword.py [cloud login] [cloud password]
You should get a response like this:
@pragdogforshins I’ve got a J7 and what worked for you does not work for me.
I hit the home button until and get the blue light and then immediately issue the command getpassword.py [cloud login] [cloud password] but i seem to get an error. Any ideas ?
Yes - per above:
install “requests” (this was a continuing problem for me - kept getting a "no module named ‘requests’ " message): pip install requests
From the prompt issue the command: pip install requests
Should work fine after that.
these instructions are no longer valid non of the stuff works any more
Details of what you’re trying to do are always good.
Tried following this tutorial and straight up doesn’t work
I finally got it to work using the original instructions at the start of the post but with a couple extra steps. FYI I have a Roomba J7+ Combo.
After installing “pip install six” in the original instructions also run the following commands:
pip install update
and also
pip install requests
I could not get the command “python .\roomba\getpassword.py” to work.
But this did:
python .\roomba\password.py [email protected] cloudpassword
[email protected] is your Roomba cloud username and your cloudpassword.
I did not have to hit the button on the roomba, it just worked after hours of trying different things.
This was the output:
2022-12-22 00:59:52 INFO [Roomba.Password] Found 2 roombas defined in the cloud
2022-12-22 00:59:52 INFO [Roomba.Password] 0 robot(s) already defined in file./config.ini, found 1 robot(s) on network

Please note this is not the blid and pasword, I changed it for this post.
This was in my Aug 4 post; hope you didn’t spend too much time on that!!
Hello guys,
I have a Roomba J7+.
And all the commands are working, but it cannot detect a roomba on my network.
If I ping the IP of the roomba I do get a response.

Hello, i’m trying to run this to find the BLID & PW of my roomba S9+, and when i run this command:
I get this:
Can you please help wih this?
I’m also having a bit of a problem.
The script finds two robots. I get the message to hold the home button to get the tones. I then see “Press to continue,” and right below that, I have “Press to skip configuring this robot:”
So when I get the tones from the robot, I press Enter and get:
