Viomi S9 robot vacuum integration

So I’ve got a Viomi S9 robot vacuum and while I’m happy with its own app interface and notifications, I figured I can get even more out of it via integration with HA. After a couple of months of playing around, here’s what I’ve managed to achieve.

  1. Ditch the mihome app as I have (almost) complete control and visibility of the vacuum via HA mobile app.
    a) mobile vacuum dashboard

    .
    b) Changing clean type to rooms, zone or point

    .
    c) Changing clean mode to vacuum, vacuum & mop or just mop

    .
    d) Changing vacuum and mop options (relevant options are shown depending on clean mode)

    .
  2. Advanced mobile (and watch!) notifications

    .
    a) Summary of stats upon job completion including map screenshot (so I can see if the vac missed any area)

    .
    b) Daily vacuum reminder - sent at 1pm only if I haven’t run the vacuum in the morning (bonus - I can start the cleaning right from the notification!)

    .
  3. Given that the HA dasboard is accessible via web, I now have full control and visibility of the vacuum on my desktop (unlike the native Viomi interface which is app only)

    .
  4. I own a Google Nest Hub which is also integrated with HA so I can now access the same UI on it too instead of the default basic vacuum UI. I have also created an automation helper that will cast the vacuum dashboard to the Nest Hub (if its not playing other media) every time a cleaning job starts so I can monitor the cleaning process.

    .
  5. Speaking of automation, I also have an automation helper that will change the clean mode (i.e. vacuum or mop) automatically when the mop pad is physically installed/removed. IMHO, this is the most useful feature out of all the above as I can simply install/remove the pad and say “Hey Google, start the vacuum” knowing that the right job will run! (Before this, I almost always forget to change the mode in the app before hitting the start button)

Apologies for the late reply. I don’t frequent the forums and don’t have notifications turned on. You can find more info on how I did this here GitHub - bfg100k/Viomi-S9-HA-Integration: Scripts and configurations for my Viomi S9 robot vacuum integration with Home Assistant. Check wiki for tips on how to fix / repair various issues with this vacuum.
