Valetudo Vacuums Map Camera for Home Assistant

Prevent Camera Crash with Home Assistant 2026.3.0

The 2026.3.0 released just today is purely a maintenance release that thanks to some really useful people was raised to my attention.
The camera libraries had some dependency issue. Meanwhile some code improvements, the shutdown of the threads is now more clean.

In the next release will try to get PNG format for who likes to overlap the images on images (floors plans) will be optionally available.

Much other in progress but slowly also because will do a little brake

Thanks again to all of you.

The latest update seems to have badly cropped one of my camera images:

Looks ok in Vaetudo.

And the background is no longer transparent - despite being set as such in the camera settings.

Noticed the background Alpha problem myself with the latest update. On two vacuums it’s now blue. On one vacuum, it’s now black. Interesting that it’s so wildly different.

I’m not seeing the cropping issue on my vacuums at all.

I pretty sure there’s a way to reset the zoom but I cant find it.

Guys @tom_l and @rohankapoorcom about the background alpha is because the camera now render JPEG instead of PIL, as a compromise will support PNG and HomeKit streaming too… I’m working on it.

In the DOCS as explained already as now we have Floors Support, the trems are in the floor data… It means in Image Setting:

Updated the Floor Data → new trims: will automatically edit the floor:

SubMir → Back to the main menu → Save Options and the trims are applied…

The services for this are not yet implemented but will do it as soon.

Thanks. Adding a floor and updating the trim data did the trick.

Nice. Thanks.
