Howto: Xiaomi vacuum zoned cleaning

Configuration
103

Perfekt thanks.
Works fine now

104

Hi love the zones Thanks, was just at the point of starting mapping coordinates when I noticed HA is no longer talking to roborock, unavailable in the dashboard. Any one got any ideas?

105

Did you change the region in the app and then reconnected the robot? Because then the token changes and you have to enter a the new token in the HA config again.

106

Yep that’s exactly what I did (GDPR) made me. I will start again tonight keeping everything to Europe.
Thanks for solution.

I can’t login to my app anymore, keep getting error Couldn’t Sign in check current network and try again 1006-60755 on my android phone. Have tried reinstalling and using Hong Kong VPN with no success. My instance on nox player is logged in but can’t access any devices.

Anyone else having issues?

108

Worked like a charm thank you.

I was able to login again on a new installation, yay.

Working on this for HomeBridge, need to add ability for multiple zones in one room

{
“accessory”: “XiaomiRoborockVacuum”,
“name”: “LivingRoom Vacuum”,
“ip”: “xxx.xxx.x.x”,
“token”: “token”,
“dock”: false,
“pause”: false,
“zone”: [51200, 51200, 25600, 1]
},
{
“accessory”: “XiaomiRoborockVacuum”,
“name”: “Bedroom Vacuum”,
“ip”: “xxx.xxx.x.x”,
“token”: “token”,
“dock”: false,
“pause”: false,
“zone”: [25591, 25591, 0, 0]
}

Set this up over the weekend. Tried to do a zone cleanup this morning. My map is gone, so my vacuum started vacuuming a random area.

112

The map should only disappear under certain circumstances as described in this thread (e.g. if you start a normal, full clean without specifying an area from the robot or HA frontend, starting a cleaned process and cancelling it by pressing buttons on the robot, carrying the robot around etc…). If you ONLY used zoned cleaning, the map should never disappear. Use a regular clean to create a new map. If the map has a different orientation this time, use some of the steps above to reset the map (start clean and cancel right away) and restart the cleaning again, orientation should be different (although maybe still no the original). Repeat until orientation is back to normal and let the vacuum create the map again.

113

I got everything setup with zone cleaning yesterday but now suddenly the map is gone and zone coordinates point to wrong places. It could be that I used the ”main” vacuum switch on HA to stop vacuum and move to test another zone. Is there a way to hide only the control of that switch since I would still like to have access to the card it opens because it has all the control buttons? I would like to avoid this happening again (if it was the reason).

114

make sure to set
“dock”: false,
“pause”: false,
this prevents you from see those options.
Make sure to only use the zone cleanup options and don’t pickup the vacuum.
If you do just keep doing full cleanup till its the same orientation.

I’m going to continue this here: Zoned vacuum cleanup
any updates I make will be posted here. Feel free to post issues/pull requests.

I think I’m unable to get the latest FW to enable zones.
When trying to use the app with Region: Mainland China the app will prompt me to select the correct region and I’m unable to check for FW updates.
Currently using region: The United States (Singapore server) as the app will not connect to the vacuum if I use “Europe”.
Any tips?

116

When set to Mainland China, go to Profile (bottom right) --> Settings --> Check for updates
Firmware updates should also pop up here and you should be able to download them, even when set on Mainland China.

Had the same problem last weekend when i tried to change from China to Europe.
I tried to reset the wifi but the app wont connect after that. So after 20 minutes or so, i thought f**k you and let the robot be a stupid machine. But after a few minutes, i checked the app again and it was able to connect to the robot. Maybe you need to wait a bit when connecting again.

Hey there, thx for the excellent walk through.

I was just wondering if the command “app_goto_target” is also supported?
As I wanted to check my corners with this script. But I was not able to make it work.

 vacuumGoTo:
   alias: Vacuum go to
   sequence:
     - service: vacuum.send_command
       data:
         entity_id: vacuum.robot
         command: app_goto_target
         params: [[28000, 30000]]
119

found my mistake :slight_smile: too many brackets

vacuumGoTo:
   alias: Vacuum go to
   sequence:
     - service: vacuum.send_command
       data:
         entity_id: vacuum.robot
         command: app_goto_target
         params: [28000, 30000]

Yeah, since goto only needs one point (x/y) you mustn’t send a list of points.

hi. i just got a roborock and excited to find this thread. Anyway, i have to draw 2 different zone to cover my living area. I noticed the params only takes in 1 zone coordinate. How do I add 1 more zone to it?

122

app_goto_target only takes one point (two coordinates: [x,y]), app_zoned_clean accepts multiple zones (each zone has two points)

1 Zone : “[[x1, y1, x2, y2, iterations]]”
More than one zone: “[[x1a, y1a, x2a, y2a, iterations], [x1b, y1b, x2b, y2b, iterations], …]”
