BUT … what I’ve found for me (I use the Roborock app):
Resetting the Wifi and using the app above easily gets the token
Use the Roborock app to setup the S5 Max as a “new” vacuum (it, does infact just replace thje eixsting one, with all maps etc maintained) to connect it back to WiFi
BUT - this then appears to create a new token - which means we are back at square one. Anyone who uses Roborock app managed to get a token and then manage to get S5 max back in the app and also have a usable token??
Same here with an S5 Max, with an older firmware (01.06.xx) it worked also when connected to the network. With both firmwares, it said “unavailable” in Home Assistant
So, I bought recently S5 Max as an upgrade of my S5. Still to understand if it really vacuums and mops better, but this ain’t the question.
I want to ease how I use it - since I use one setting for vacuuming and one setting for mopping I could really benefit of some widget-style operation - one button for vacuuming and one for mopping.
My question - is it possible to obtain this with S5 Max and Roborock app? I have been trying for a while with the method above but I either get UDP packages, but they don’t work or I don’t get any. Does this work, in general? Or there is something wrong with the way I spy on my traffic?
Dont think it’s possible…yet. It appears that the token changes too often for it to be reliable when paired with the Roborock app. More discussion can be found here:
I’ve added S5 Max to Home assistant on a very basic level… But i want to further integrate with homekit and show maps and do various things? Is it possible? Just shows as a switch currently in homekit
Can anyone guide on how to make this integration full with maps, scripts, zones etc so that we can do automation etc?
I recently picked up a Roborock S5 max on a pre-black Friday sale and though I would share my experience with getting it integrated with home assistant. There are a number of guides around for getting the token using a older version of the Mi Home app, downloaded an an apk. I could not get any of these to work. What worked very well was Mi-Home-token-extractor. I should note that my vacuum is set up with a country value of “us”. However, token-extractor reported no us token. I ran it again without specifying so it would search all countries. It reported the token under both “tw” and “sg”.
Set up of the integration proceeded normally after this. I also upgraded the firmware to the latest version without it impacting connectivity.
So, anyone have the new S4 Max? From my google’ing its only compatible with the Roborock app, not the Mi home. Anyone have it connected to Home Assistant?
I have a s5 max in the mail on route to me. But I agree with you that integration in Home Assistant seems complicated.
It seems like there are multiple options to do so and it can be done with the mi app and the roborock app, but none of the solutions are very straightforward.
I got my S5 Max a few days ago and have successfully integrated it into HA.
Just wondering if there is anyway from within HA to control water levels for the mopping?
I’ve also found, if I set the vacuum power to “customize” it shows as “106” in HA. The other power settings show up correctly. I would like to be able to set the “customize” power setting via HA.
Hi, all s5 max on the way. Read the entire thread. One thing I do not understand yet about “getting the token” is if I need to “register somewhere”? Do I need to install an adroid app? Or windows app or other? And is that really needed? Can I delete that app afterwards and keep using the HA integration? In other words, can I attach the s5 via a separate ip subnet from my home network with internet access to home assistant without registering on a chinese cloud?
Thanks in advance for answering possibly stupid questions.
You don’t have to have the app on your phone after you setup the vacuum, but you won’t be able to create zones, virtual walls, or any of those things (that I know of) without it.
It is and it’s fantastic. No reporting to any external (Chinese) servers and better features (imho). I have the S5 (non-max), so my install was a lot easier. But, it’s worth it.
