Vacuum Interactive Map Card

Service vacuum.xiaomi_clean_zone with data

{
  "entity_id": "vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner",
  "zone":[[29600,25705,30193,26288]],
  "repeats":1
}

works fine

3_14 · September 9, 2019, 1:24pm

Thank you very much! I will fix it later today

3_14 · September 10, 2019, 12:43am

@Maximus97 it should be working in the latest version of the card

3_14 · September 11, 2019, 1:32am

From now you can use this card to call your own service (e.g. script or python script) instead of default one. Primary use case for this feature was to add possibility to perform additional actions (in my case leaving garage) before starting the vacuum.

Maximus97 · September 11, 2019, 11:27am

Awesome!

I must agree with a previous post, being able to clean more than 5 zones would be awesome. But it might be too complicated to make a script for that, I have no idea as I am not a programmer.

Robert_Mulders · September 11, 2019, 1:24pm

Really like the plugin! Perhaps I missed it but any easy way to center the image?

3_14 · September 11, 2019, 1:28pm

This behavior is very weird, map should fill whole width of a card. Are you sure that the image is correctly cropped?

Robert_Mulders · September 11, 2019, 1:31pm

How could I have missed that!
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Today I have introduced a major change in calibration process. From now you are not restricted to two exact points: you can use any point you want. Moreover, if defined correctly new points will improve cards accuracy.

If you have used this card before don’t worry, card will provide a migration guide:

Hello 3_14,

Thanks for your job, is amazing.

Today I upgraded the card from HACS but the migration message did not apear. I decided to uninstall and install again, but I don’t know how to calibrate the vacuum. I introduced the code:

views:
- name: Example
  cards:
    - type: custom:xiaomi-vacuum-map-card
      entity: vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum
      map_image: '/local/custom_lovelace/xiaomi_vacuum_map_card/map.png'
      calibration_points:
        - vacuum:
            x: 25500
            y: 25500
          map:
            x: 466
            y: 1889
        - vacuum:
            x: 26500
            y: 26500
          map:
            x: 730
            y: 1625
        - vacuum:
            x: 25500
            y: 26500
          map:
            x: 466
            y: 1625

But apear the message base_position not defined.

Do you know how can I introduce the calibration points?

Many thanks

After each update you have to clear browsers cache to make it effective

Miquel · September 17, 2019, 4:34pm

Many thanks, I’ll try it.
Just another question. Do you know if it’s possible to control fan speed?
By default it uses quiet mode.

Thank U

3_14 · September 17, 2019, 4:52pm

Sure, just use service vacuum.set_fan_speed

tormagj · September 17, 2019, 5:26pm

Hi! Really great work. Made something similar before, but not even close to as elegant as this so I scrapped my work and migrated to this card.

Is it possible to integrate no-go zones and the barrier tape function, or isn’t it supported by the integration/services?

Also, would it be possible to add a feature to allow more than 5 zones? I know this is the limit in the app, but I was thinking to try out the node-red or scripting ways that I’ve seen people use. As far as I understand, it is basically “tricking” the vacuum to do 5, short pause, continue with next 5. If this works, it would be great to be able to use the card together with the custom script!

Thanks again, keep up the excellent work! Cheers.

3_14 · September 17, 2019, 5:56pm

@tormagj I am very glad you like it

Right now integration doesn’t provide any information about no-go zones, so there’s nothing I can do about it.

I can provide an option to disable zones number validation. If you have your own script you can use it by defining a service parameter: https://github.com/PiotrMachowski/lovelace-xiaomi-vacuum-map-card#defining-service
I think I will try to create similar one in the near future

3_14 · September 17, 2019, 10:39pm

Well, it turned out that the future was very near

I have created a script that should (not tested!) be able to make cleaning more than 5 zones possible.
It uses a python script to send commands to a vacuum, as currently vacuum.send_command service does not support templates.
Python script: vacuum_send_command.py

HA scripts:

vacuum_multiple_zones:
  alias: vacuum_multiple_zones
  sequence:
    - delay:
        milliseconds: 100
    - service: python_script.vacuum_send_command
      data_template:
        entity_id: "{{ entity_id }}"
        command: "{{ command }}"
        params: >
          {%- set parsed = (params | string).replace(" ", "").split("],[") | map("replace" ,"[", "") | map("replace", "]", "") | list -%}
          {{ "[" + parsed | first + "]" }}
    - condition: template
      value_template: "{{ command == 'app_zoned_clean' }}"
    - condition: template
      value_template: >
        {%- set parsed = (params | string).replace(" ", "").split("],[") | map("replace" ,"[", "") | map("replace", "]", "") | list -%}
        {{ "[" + parsed | select("ne", parsed | first) | list | join("],[") + "]" != "[]"}}
    - wait_template: "{{ is_state(entity_id, 'cleaning') }}"
    - wait_template: "{{ not is_state(entity_id, 'cleaning') }}"
    - service: vacuum.pause
      data_template:
        entity_id: "{{ entity_id }}"
    - service: script.vacuum_multiple_zones_launcher
      data_template:
        entity_id: "{{ entity_id }}"
        command: "{{ command }}"
        params: >
          {%- set parsed = (params | string).replace(" ", "").split("],[") | map("replace", "[", "") | map("replace", "]", "") | list -%}
          {{ "[" + parsed | select("ne", parsed | first) | list | join("],[") + "]"}}
vacuum_multiple_zones_launcher:
  alias: vacuum_multiple_zones_launcher
  sequence:
    - delay:
        milliseconds: 100
    - service: script.vacuum_multiple_zones
      data_template:
        entity_id: "{{ entity_id }}"
        command: "{{ command }}"
        params: "{{ params }}"

Usage (map card configuration):

type: custom:xiaomi-vacuum-map-card
entity: vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum
map_image: '/local/custom_lovelace/xiaomi_vacuum_map_card/map.png'
ignore_zones_limit: true
service: script.vacuum_multiple_zones
calibration_points:
  - vacuum:
      x: 25500
      y: 25500
    map:
      x: 466
      y: 1889
  - vacuum:
      x: 26500
      y: 26500
    map:
      x: 730
      y: 1625
  - vacuum:
      x: 25500
      y: 26500
    map:
      x: 466
      y: 1625
zones:
  - [[25500, 25500, 26500, 26500]]
  - [[24215, 28125, 29465, 32175]]
  - [[24245, 25190, 27495, 27940], [27492, 26789, 28942, 27889]]
  - [[28972, 26715, 31072, 27915], [29457, 27903, 31107, 29203], [30198, 29215, 31498, 31215], [29461, 31228, 31511, 32478]]

It is possible that I won’t be able to test this script for a few days, but after tests I will add it to my repo.

EDIT:
This solution is working, but vacuum starts returning to base after each zone. Final solution that does not have this issue is available in my repo: vacuum_send_command_multiple_zones.yaml

Miquel · September 18, 2019, 8:56am

Hi 3_14, many thanks I’ll find about how to use this code in the card.
I’m new in HA and I’m still learning.
With the last Update, I’ve the map perfectly defined with the zones and works perfectly.
Great job.
Vacuum%20Map

3_14 · September 18, 2019, 9:16am

It looks great! Please let me know if zones script works

tormagj · September 18, 2019, 8:15pm

wow, great! I will test it as soon as I can, but out of “office” a couple of days.

3_14 · September 18, 2019, 9:37pm

Ok, I have tested this script and fixed some bugs, it is working now
Main disadvantage is that after each zone it is starting to return to the base Buuuuuut I am working on it
