iRobot in own App AND Home Assistant

Configuration
1

Bought a second hand iRobot Roomba i7 (SKU I715640).
It’s linked to the app on my phone and to Google home, and discovered by home assistant. When I continue to configure it to home assistant, I’m told to “Make sure that the iRobot app is not running on any device.” Does this mean:

  • I need to shut down my phone for the procedure or completely remove the app?
  • Also remove from Google Home?
  • Will the the methods work in parallel?
    Thanks

Yes it will. I have an older Roomba and it works on both the original app and Home assistant. I think it has to do with the code. Just kill the app on the phone as you are configuring in HA.
