Hello @Daniel76,
I originally had the official integration but removed it after reading this post and the problems associated with it. It didn’t fix the issue for me. I don’t have any other smarthome hubs at all. HA forerever.
Thanks
These are mapped to a secret which is mapped to a rest_command which is called from Lovelace (robot_action option)
the api is missing position data
[here] is a clean from my mop in our old apartment… lol the below attributes should put it on the map
$map_width = 1050;
$map_height = 900;
$x_offset = 170;
$y_offset = 120;
$flip_vertical = false;
$flip_horizontal = false;
clicking full clean will just start cleaning, same as if you press clean on the robot. once you have followed all the steps, you should have a set of secrets, which correspond to rooms, which are linked to input booleans.
with this in place, when you turn on the switches in lovelace, the robot will clean in the order you have turned them on.
pictures arent working as the map isnt working as there is no positional data currently from the API.
i have seen this asked previously and i dont think there is any plans from iRobot to allow access to the camera.
you should be querying /api/local/info/state → not action (this is used to send data to rest980 when triggered an action)
I have followed all your steps but sensor.vacuum doesn’t work for me. Is there any logs I could review?
Thanks
no link? maybe you forgot it
I see, thank you so much! I have done the mapping and configured secrets and I see the switches there. I am just wondering if I can have a button that cleans all defined rooms in the defined order. That’s what I do in the iRobot mobile app - I have defined a favorite “tile” on the home screen with the expected cleaning order and I would like to have something similar in HA to be able to quickly start cleaning in the defined order without the need to select rooms one by one.
The order is already defined in the vacuum.yaml file in the group settings. Can I leverage it somehow?
Hello,
I have new j7+ and I’ve checked and triple-checked credentials, reinstalled addons multiple times, but when querying http://:/api/local/info/state i keep getting {}.
Built-in integration has been removed but still the same issue. Any assistance will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
sensor.vacuum is what you create in vacuum.yaml - if you dont see this (and there are no glaring errors in your log) then perhaps you havent added the packages line in configuration.yaml which “imports” the vacuum.yaml into your HA instance.
tldr
homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_named packages
yeah touche… try here
if you have pre-defined list, then just use an automation and trigger from a button/event/script/etc
you can duplicate the scheduled clean and update the trigger settings
i have heard issues with the new j7+ using a new cipher… check this and see if it helps?
Hello @Syrius ,
I was able to get the password through script they described there and using packet sniffer (both match) but when configuring them on “rest980 Docker Image”, i can’t retrieve any information from it. Any other ideas?
Thanks
Thank you Syrius. So you are saying that value: "bedroom,bathroom,hall,entry,living_room,kitchen,master_bedroom" defines also the order, correct?
From what I"ve read, in order to get the Roomba J7 working, we need to add the environment variable
- ROBOT_CIPHERS=TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
I"ve added this to the Docker Compose file in the Environment section, but I am when I accessing the /api/local/info/state, It is still empty {}.
I’ve gotten the BLID and Password successfully for the J7, but I"m unable to talk to it due to the Cipher.
Any thoughts on where to go next?
i only get an grey box and it does not generate any new image files
its the same for both bots
what to check next?
http://192.168.0.9:3003/vacuum.log
and
http://192.168.0.9:3001/vacuum2.log
those download the correct log for each bot
http://192.168.0.9:3003/image2.php and http://192.168.0.9:3003/image.php shows the floorlayout but no green tracks on it, and still no new image file
checking the maintainence section that is also acting up,
and clicking them do not change anything
a few windows to show where i got what
secrets yaml are in the root of config
I’m experiencing the same problem with the maintenance sensors. I don’t know when they stopped working, but they have been working fine for some months. I couldn’t get them working either.
Exactly the same problem here with the maintenance sensors. I think it started a week or two ago. Might possibly be related to one of the recent HA updates? I can’t say for sure though but it was always working fine previously.
I think there has something changed with the timestamp. The MQTT Explorer says:
{"timestamp_friendly":"Invalid Date","timeout":"10 days","timeout_timestamp":null,"timeout_seconds":864000,"severity":[{"color":"#bf4060","value":"-1 days","seconds":-86400},{"color":"#bfb540","value":"0 days","seconds":0}]}
But I don’t know what this means, because the date is correct in this case.
Yes it does, it’s entered in order in the automation.
I’m not sure to be honest… There might be something in a newer version of dorita980 that helps, I’m currently on vacation so can’t check right now sorry 
Did you adjust the map size and offset ?
There’s an issue in the check button card - see here
yes, tripple checked
//$map_width = 3118; # Ensure overlay and wall images match this size
//$map_height = 4413; # Ensure overlay and wall images match this size
//$x_offset = 570; #op ned -Ned
//$y_offset = -505; #Højre venstre -Venstre
//$flip_vertical = true;
//$flip_horizontal = true;
$map_width = 1050;
$map_height = 900;
$x_offset = 170;
$y_offset = 120;
$flip_vertical = false;
$flip_horizontal = false;
also if i open the image link http://192.168.0.9:3003/image2.php for the bot named robert then it opens just the floor image but in the 1050x900 format so it does read the config
that helped, ie replace the file content, had to clear chrome cache and maybe also a reboot of HA
hmm just ran both bots and now both logs are gone and one bot has created the images… ie latestRobert and 1640183905Robert
the other has not… yet,
SUM up of today: it can now do the maintain items again
it can show the floorplan image but it does not write tracks even if provided with dummy data
if a clean is started the log is cleared, total empty
sometimes it do create the images but those are also just the floorplan with the roomba icon in upper left corner
Is there any fix to get coordinates from roomba i7 3.2… firmware?
not yet, i think we are all missing that part
we just have to wait, but be prepared that it will never get back
its always good to be a pessimistic person then you can only get happy surprised
