Anyone else having trouble?

I used my Roomba for 2 years with HA and its integration and never had issues.

A few weeks ago, my Roomba went offline all of a sudden. I didn’t change anything (except possibly upgrading HA, which I do regularly, not sure).

The error is in the log is:

Roomba is accessible via the Roomba app and IP 10.227.79.137 is the right one and I can ping it.

What could be the issue?

Can you restore your setup prior to the upgrade to see if the upgrade was the issue?

No, I have no backup and I don’t even know if it’s related. That’s why I wrote “possibly” and “not sure”.

Yesterday Roomba randomly went back online again. Did not change anything.

What on earth can that be?

The integration can have a problem if you have the Roomba app open on your phone, that may have been the problem. It also could be a general Roomba issue that caused it to go offline as well - remember that it’s a computer like any other and sometimes needs rebooted. Heck, mine sometimes reboot in the middle of a job.
