I was using FloleVac Android App as per this post.
Basically you go to Zone Cleanup, paint the zone on the map and long press on Start, it will copy the coordinates to the clipboard.
Be absolutely sure the coordinates are reachable otherwise the vacuum will return to the dock or not even start at all, it will come out of the dock wait a few seconds and go back to the dock.
It could even be a few centimeters that are unreachable but because of that it might go back to the dock.
I’m planning to buy an Xiaomi / Roborock Vaccum and run valetudo on it.
What I want to achieve is zone cleaning like you do in your scripts.
Which Vacuum do you use?
Do you have valetudo installed on it and how did you integrate it with HA - Xiaomi or MQTT?
I found this article on dyson robotic vacuum release date, anyone here knows anything about this robot vacuum cleaner?
A bit Old thread, but I rather post here than creating a new one.
I’m running HA on a Rpi3b+, with a Conbee 2.
Would be happy if anyone could tell me if there are some vacuums that would work with that setup and also lives up to:
*Local control, i.e no phoning home to manufacturers server.
*Lidar or some other good navigating tech.
*Mapping of the house or floor.
*Zone cleaning (click to clean that specific area).
*Cleaning report that shows what area was cleaned.
*Virtual no go lines.
I have a Neato D4 since before and I’m really happy with it. Only downsides are that I believe it “phones home” and that the software doesn’t support zone cleaning.
I don’t mind if I have to root or modify the hardware slightly.
Anyone have some suggestion?
