You can add a map into HA yourself through the Xiaomi interactive Lovelace map card. Highly recommend that and doesn’t need rooting.

Before estimating that valetudo might be dead please join channels and see yourself that valetudo is not dead . It’s easy to say but valetudo is the best way to integrate Xiaomi valetudo. Into home assistant and for privacy reasons there’s no sense using Xiaomi app. I integrated valetudo myself without any issues . Might be a problem on your side . But without details about your problem we can’t help cou out . And if valetudo stands still for the moment means also that there are no major issues left . Bit everyone has to decide weather going the hard or the easy way. For me it’s out of question to use the Xiaomi app. But I’m privacy orientated and host everything locally .
I also use Homepanel and I think the result it’s ok so far
But as said everyone’s choice and if you need some help just ask here before telling that valetudo is crappy shit.

Calm down buddy, i didn’t say anything about it being ‘crappy shit’. I think it’s great and a good move forward toward better privacy. I was merely questioning wether anyone else was facing bugs. And yes, I had logged multiple issues on the github page with no responses, hence my question here. This isn’t’ the official channel for it anyway so I don’t really care for whats posted in this thread.
I have no issues anymore though as I’ve reverted back to the factory firmware. 
I’ll maybe try it again when it’s more developed.
Ok then 
maybe you want to share your big? I could try helping you out
Does valetudo let me define multiple zones made of areas?
ie. I’d like to have a ‘zone’ for carpet, one for tiles and potentially also rooms defined so i could potentially clean any of them as required.
How long have you been running Valetudo? I have heard some rumors about random factory resets, is that still an issue? If so any potential work arounds? I should be getting a Roborock in the mail today and wondering if I should try out Valetudo from the start or wait…
I suffered one or the factory resets. Now I’m preparing an script to root the cleaner when happens next. Don’t know when I will have it, probably next time the cleaner resets itself.
I’d also be interested as I also faced 3 or 5 factory resets somehow… nobody knows why this happens for them oment but if u have a script let me know .)
I had this once and updated the firmware to the latest recommended and switched to the fork of rand256. No reset since then

can u privide a link of the fork?
Found it… I’ll look at this the next time my robo resets itself
Thanks man!
I can also only promote Valetudo - We have the robot now for 3 months and I put Valetudo on it before it did it’s first cleaning.
Never had any problems with it - it has not been reset. Especially the great HomeAssistant integration is nice…
What version of the firmware are you running? @thundergreen would be interesting to know if you are running that version too?
Is the fork what fixed it or the new firmware?
@w1ll1am23 I donÄt use the fork for the moment. But my robot is completely blocked for internet. Once via my router and secondly by my adguard server which blocks all communication to xiaomi as well… so there’s no connection to the internet at all. I face resets maybe once each 3 month. i am using this version:
So does the reset only effect gen1? I rooted and installed Valetudo last night using the 1886 firmware. I am also blocking internet.
@0rn0lf stated they upgraded firmware and to the new fork so just wanted to see if its possible the fork has nothing to do with it.
@rdehuyss you also stated you haven’t seen resets, what firmware are you on?
Thanks, read through the entire post. Seems really random… We will see what happens, let’s hope someone figures it out.
Well, yesterday I started the vacuum again after a few weeks because the LDS was stuck and I had to wait for a new one aaand it was back on an old firmware without valetudo.
But whatever you do, do not update to anything >= v1910. Seems that you can’t load other firmwares then. Backup to an old version seems possible but no dustcloud or valetudo or root with this version. Same on the s6
