Vacuum: neato showing up, but vorwerk vr200 does not

Development
1

Hi,

First off, I’m totally new to Home Assistant. Have successfully gotten many of my smart stuff integrated so far such as Vera, Automower, Grohe Sense Guard, etc.

I have also succeeded in getting my Neato D7 to show up using the vacuum platform neato. However, I also have a Vorwerk VR200 that does not show up. This is my config:

vacuum
  - platform: neato
    name: Neato
    username: !secret neato_username
    password: !secret neato_password
  
  - platform: neato
    name: Alf
    username: !secret vorwerk_username
    password: !secret vorwerk_password
    vendor: 'vorwerk'

With this, I get the Neato but not the Vorwerk (called Alf :slight_smile: ).

I guess it’s something obvious that I’m missing, but I couldn’t find anything about this issue on this forum.

Thanks in advance!

your configuration is incorrect, please refer to the docs: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/neato

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ve consulted that, and this is probably where my noob-status in hass shows. I have tried this as well, but doesn’t work either:

neato Neato:
    name: Neato
    username: !secret neato_username
    password: !secret neato_password

neato Alf:
    name: Alf
    username: !secret vorwerk_username
    password: !secret vorwerk_password
    vendor: 'vorwerk'

I get this in my log when I try to check the config file prior to reloading:

Logger: aiohttp.server

Any pointers?

Cheers!

Try creating a new configuration from the integration page.

Edit: also use lowercase in the yaml keys like neato alf

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions! If I try to create a new configuration from the integration page I get the message:

## Aborted

Already configured

If I use neato neato: and neato alf: then I still get the same log error as in the last post when checking the config file.

I also tried removing the config from configuration.yaml and also removing the integration, then readding the Neato Botvac integration from the GUI. This time I put in my VOrwerk credentials, and Alf popped up. However now my Neato is orphaned. After that I tried adding

neato:
    username: !secret neato_username
    password: !secret neato_password

back to the configuration.yaml, and Neato is back, but now Alf is orphaned… :frowning:

The GUI now shows

[2 devices] and [7 entities]

but I can’t control the Vorwerk VR200 Alf.

Tricky…

Oh hmm we may not allow multiple accounts here for the platform. Can you open a bug on github for this? Make sure to fill out the issue template.

Thanks!

I havn’t ever reported anything via github before, but I tried doing it through issues: https://github.com/dshokouhi/hass-neato-custom-component/issues/22

Sorry if that is not the way I should have done it… :confused:

Thanks in any case!

Do you use the old or the new app? The vorwerk will only work if you use the old app ( with „MyKobold“ app the integrations is not working! )

Have you opened an issue on Github regarding this?

2020-08-29 14:30:43 ERROR (SyncWorker_19) [homeassistant.components.neato] Invalid credentials

The old app is being phased out and the new one uses 2FA.

It worked until yesterday but after update 2021.1.0, VR200 cannot be driven any longer.
I did the Neato app integration but my robot is not a Neato: it is Vorwerk and there does not seem to be a way to get that back in

Vorwerk support was dropped in 2021.1 as we now have a different auth mechanism for neato than vorwerk, a new integration will need to be added to HA with support of the different auth mechanism for it to continue to be used.
