Roomba Locate Failure

Configuration
1

So I’ve got a roomba added to HA, it polls the values just fine, and most commands seem to work, as expected, except locate. Could someone else, with a roomba, try and reproduce this please?

If I go to Developer Tools → Services
Domain: vacuum
Service: locate
{ “entity_id”: “vacuum.newt” }
[call service]

I get the following in the log:

2017-11-13 16:44:12 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.core] Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved

    raise NotImplementedError()
NotImplementedError

Is this feature not implemented?

I’d be happy to submit a bug report for this, but would like to have someone else verify it before i do, just to make sure it’s not end-user-error, or only specific to my install.

Opened an issue for this… For anyone else who finds this thread, see issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/11006

I’ve put together the ~6 lines of code needed to impliment locating a roomba…

It seems to work with my roomba as a custom component… I don’t know if it will work with models other than the 600 series…

the “send command” functionality for roomba’s appears to be broken as well or you could try sending the command “find”
