Other than the new IOT protocol “Matter” that has been released. But that isn’t ready for things like vacuums yet. It’ll probably take a year or longer before vacuums are supported. Not only that, Roomba would have to update the vacuums to support Matter too.
Hey All,
I am reaaaaly new to HA but managed to get the addon working 
can anyone explain to me in realy simple words or maybe and example on how to configure scheduling? as example vacuum the living room every morning around 7.00 mon tue wed.
Thanks 
@njaynl There are two included automation examples in the vacuum.yaml file.
the first essentially is configured to clean the kitchen room at 6am if the associated input boolean is enabled
FAQ item 12 provides some more explanation on how the room cleaning works, which this automation is just, automating for you
hope this helps!
thanks for reply and your addon !
I do have another question; sorry to bother you
How do i manually set an automation for the robot? let’s say when my phone leaves my location the vacumm starts cleaning the kitchen.
Thanks
You just need to update the trigger section of the automation to instead match on this event.
if you have setup presence detection then have a look at this thread for an example.
you can also tie the device tracking to you as a person entity and use this vs the phone directly as the source
thanks man! you’re the best.
Are you talking about this (Rest980) or a different integration that is dead?
oneeeee last question which rest980 command or trigger do i send to the roomba to start cleaning a room? i want to manually trigger it. I tried copying some actions from the vacuum.yaml but that does not work
Oh, I’m not talking about the Rest980. I’m talking about the Roomba integration. I should have been more clear, my bad.

well, it depends -
if you just want to clean one room manaully, you need to either activate the input boolean for that room (which, per faq item 12 just sets the vacuum_rooms input text with the names) and then activate the Vacuum Clean Rooms automation.
do you just need to do these steps for your manual trigger. the included lovelace file should give you the templating for having a list of input booleans, representing your rooms, and the a button to initiate the clean room automation
Thanks! i managed to edit the existing schedules and copying that and adjusting the automation to i can manually trigger

Does anyone have a lovelace card code with selective room cleaning for the braava? the github only states a mutlifloor one.
thanks!
Hi All,
I’ve just installed all correctly by following every point of the guide for my Roomba i7, but all the informations about my robot are “not available”. See image
But I’ve noticed this error on rest980:

How can you help me?
I can’t reach 192.168.1.x:3000/api/local/info/state
I solved that problem, but I can’t load the map and my log file is not populated.
When I run: http://192.16.1.xxx:3001/image.php shows this error:
No Coordinates found in file, is it reachable and populated? Log file
In the last couple of months a problem has developed where jobs started from HA don’t work. Whenever they start, the iRobot app says ‘Discovering and Cleaning’, lasts about 5 mins and then returns to the base. The app then tells me there’s been a localisation problem. It doesn’t do this when I use the iRobot app. Has anyone else seen anything similar?
Thanks
Guyan
Hello,
I had one too, but for me it was in the iRobot app. I reinstalled the robot and it’s been good since then.
Hello, i recently tried this project as well, but it fails when i copy the vacuum.yaml to my server. I did not change anything in the file, but HA will not parse it. The error message is:
The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Invalid config for [vacuum]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None.
Somewhere i found that this is caused by the line sensor: at the beginning. If i remove it i get another error at line 290 which shows: rest_command: The error i get then is:
The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: expected '<document start>', but found '<block mapping start>' in "/config/vacuum.yaml", line 290, column 1
Do you have any idea what can be wrong here? i use the “rest980_j7 Docker Image” and “php-nginx Docker Image”. I am also able to see the details on the /api/local/info/state page.
Thanks in advance!
I’ve been able to get this installed but so far all I get in my vacuum.log file is “n-a” and “Finished” - shouldn’t I get some coordinates?
