I made a new integration for viewing the map from Tuya robot vacuums.
I have only tested it with the Lefant M1 vacuum, so help testing it out will be greatly appreciated.
Hi, is this supposed to work with Lidar devices only, or would āmotion basedā maps be exposed with the same Tuya API? (Eufy G30 Edge user here).
Thanks!
Each type of robot vacuum handles map data differently, so Iām not sure if gyroscope based robot vacuums would work with the API currently used. However, I do plan to add support for them as a short-medium term goal.
Will this work with the local tuya integrations? Iām having issues with the Tuya Developer IOT Core license expiring, so I no longer see the map image in home assistant.
Youāre able to renew your license for free for up to 6 months at a time I believe. I donāt support local connectivity yet because of the unique and complicated way map data is transferred/stored, however it is in my queue.
Looks like an interesting integration. I have just tried to add a Lubluelu vacuum but get āAn unknown errorā occured when trying to configure the integration- any advice?
Tested and working with lubluelu SL60D - might want to update your compatibility list on Github - I donāt have an account to post.
For anyone else who is totally in the dark with the Tuya IoT platform etc. This is what I did.
1- Install the Tuya Integration in HA (via HACS) and get it working - simple - uses same credentials as you use to log into the Smart Life App. Now the vac works in HA and you can add a card, with the custom Vacuum card (again , from HACS).
2- create an account on https://platform.tuya.com/
3 - click cloud, then create a cloud project, making sure your chosen server region matches the one you set up your Smart Life App with. Accept defaults for everything else apart from a name for your project.
4 - Devices, Link App Account, then follow the instructions (open teh app, Me, settings, hti the bar code scan icon top right). Your vac will be added as a device.
5 - whilst still in your Project go to the Service API Tab and āGo to Authoriseā and add āSweeping Robot Open Serviceā - this was crucial.
6 - in HA HACS install this Tuya Vacuum Maps" add on, restart as usual.
7 - in Devices add the integration for this card, and you then get the credentials asked for from Tuya platform in your cloud project tab - 2 from one tab, one from the device tab.
8 - finally, in your custom vacuum card, under optional āvacuum cameraā select the new camera called āvacuum cameraā or similar and bingo! your large robo vac graphic will be replaced with your room map.
