2 suggestions here:

  • I think that your second point has incorrect x coordinate in map section
  • for best results place calibration points on a rectangle corners (e.g. using zoned cleanup). Try to draw as big rectangle as possible.

thanks… I started again and I’m not much further forward… except I have less hair now… Any more pointers please? I have changed the image, I would prefer it rotated as it doesn’t fit on card very well vertically… but I got even more confused then… map attached I am using I know the zone is right as I just tested that.

type: 'custom:xiaomi-vacuum-map-card'
entity: vacuum.renvac
debug: true
map_image: /local/map.png
calibration_points:
  - vacuum:
      x: 25500
      'y': 25500
    map:
      x: 45
      'y': 45
  - vacuum:
      x: 27800
      'y': 22050
    map:
      x: 290
      'y': 404
  - vacuum:
      x: 30700
      'y': 14200
    map:
      x: 580
      'y': 1175
zones:
  - - - 24929
      - 11442
      - 27679
      - 15192

The area I am wanting as the zone is “circled”

or can I rotate the map image manually and then erm try to calibrate it, so it is rotated 90 degrees from the actual map on the phone app? ? I think I am making this far more complicated than I need to do… as usual :slight_smile:

The easiest way is to rotate the image, but you have to calibrate it again after rotation

195

thank… I love this if I can get it to be calibrated :S

By following these steps you should achieve the best result:

  1. In FloleVac in “zoned cleanup” mode draw as big zone as possible (green rectangle on a photo below)
  2. As a calibration points choose three corners of rectangle from step 1
  3. By choosing points like described in step 2 coordinate x of points 1 and 3 should be the same and coordinate y of points 2 and 3 should be the same

truly genius thank you… I have even rotated the map and got it to work. Thank you for the detailed reply and thank you for what is a brilliant card… This is just what I have been looking for… now time to clean up the map and label it :smiley:

I plan to create a video tutorial for calibration procedure, it should help future users :wink:

it will be wonderful

I think I’m a bit confused. I’m not really getting how to express the coordinates… :S

I have used the FloleVac app to add a large zone on top of my map:

image
image456×960 101 KB

I get these coordinates:

[[23162,25106,29812,34856,1]]

In another thread I read that the coordinate order is [bottom-left-x, bottom-left-y, top-right-x, top-right-y]. Is this right?

Am I correct in assuming that the top left corner in the picture above have the coordinate X=23162 and Y=34856? The bottom right corner have coordinate X=29812 and Y=25106?

If I place the cursor on the image (in Paint.net) at the same place as the top left corner in the selection I get the coordinates 49,144. Does this mean the map coordinates should be X=49 and Y=144 if I use this specific image for the card?

201

It seems correct, you can make yourself sure by enabling “go to target” mode in FloleVac, select chosen corner and hold start button.

Exactly, you have to check these coordinates for 2 other points and calibration process is done :slight_smile:

202

Just bit curious about this. When will we get video. It will make thing easy for we new users. Thanks

203

I am afraid it will take some time, I have a lot of things on my head right now.

For now the easiest way would be to follow instructions in this post:

Thanks @3_14. Configured card as per instructions. It’s working… Amazing work!!!

Looking forward to get more updates on this. Awesome card… Great work…

Hi guys, I am calibrate mt new card to provide exactly 3 pairs of coordinates. for here https://github.com/PiotrMachowski/lovelace-xiaomi-vacuum-map-card I stuck on how I find out what coordinates I put down for the map as I have sent the vacuum to a

{
  "entity_id": "vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum",
  "command": "app_goto_target",
  "params": [25500, 25500]
}

already but lost for the nest step

206

Its ok I worked it out :slight_smile: @3_14 was there an fix that I can do with not rotating the map from im app

207

I am not sure what you mean, are you talking about problem with gen1 vacuum, that it sometimes decides to rotate the map? Workaround for this problem is to use zoned cleanup instead of normal full cleaning.

Yep that what I was talking about. Thanks…

Hi everyone!

I just have published a new version of a card, now supporting live map view from camera! Thanks to that it can fully substitute Xiaomi Home app as a way to control a vacuum.

@3_14 that’s sounds cool love to see ppl pictures of this :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
