I’ve added my Roomba to HA and it seems to be working. However I have a few questions about it.
Firstly, I find the “actions” confusing. When I create an automation to turn on the Roomba, there are only two available actions: “Let ‘roomba device’ clean” and “Let ‘roomba device’ return to the dock”. To me, the use of the word “Let” suggests that something else would actually trigger the action and this automation is only enabling the other thing to take effect. Why are the actions named this way?
Secondly, when the Roomba was being controlled by the iRobot app, its light was off except when it was cleaning or during the first minute or so of charging. Now the light is always on, which seems like a (admittedly minor) waste of energy. Is there a way to get it to turn off?
Finally, how do I add a control card for it to the Overview? The other items HA controls (4 Wyze smartplugs) just appeared when I set them up. It would be handy to be able to start and stop the Roomba through the same type of On/Off slider as the smart plugs.
Thanks.
