Did an upgrade of Valetudo to latest version 2021.02.0 on my 1st Gen vacuum and many things related to showing map were not working anymore and required many changes in HA configuration. I spent a lot of time on this, so sharing result to save some time for others.
I managed to get vacuum card working again plus I now have zone cleanup I always wanted.
Approach I described earlier is now obsolete. Everything now happens via MQTT instead of REST as before.
-
On vacuum setup Valetudo MQTT settings with “Homeassistant Map Hack” turned off.
-
In HA config add MQTT vacuum:
vacuum:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Servantess"
schema: state
supported_features:
- start
- pause
- stop
- return_home
- battery
- status
- locate
- clean_spot
- fan_speed
- send_command
command_topic: "vacuum/servantess/command"
state_topic: "vacuum/servantess/state"
send_command_topic: "vacuum/servantess/custom_command"
set_fan_speed_topic: "vacuum/servantess/set_fan_speed"
fan_speed_list:
- min
- medium
- high
- max
-
Install ICantBelieveItsNotValetudo HA addon and configure accordingly. This addon will generate map image received from vacuum on
map_dataMQTT topic and publish it onmaptopic for your camera. -
Add MQQT camera entity for ready map:
camera:
- platform: mqtt
name: Servantess Map
topic: vacuum/servantess/map
- Finally update Lovelace card. Mine looks like that:
- type: custom:mod-card
title: Servantess
card:
type: picture-elements
image: /local/images/transparent_background.png
style: |
ha-card {
--primary-text-color: white;

When verified it works cleanup related outdated stuff.
