homebridge-valetudo-xiaomi-vacuum v0.1.9-beta.2

homebridge-valetudo-xiaomi-vacuum

homebridge-valetudo-xiaomi-vacuum is a Homebridge plugin which you can use to control your Xiaomi Roborock vacuum that has Valetudo installed.

Installation

npm -g install homebridge-valetudo-xiaomi-vacuum

Configuration

An entry in config.json is needed.

Example:

{
    "accessory": "ValetudoXiaomiVacuum",
    "name": "<Accessory name, e.g. Vacuum>",
    "ip": "<Vacuum's ip address>"
}

Optionally, you can enable switches for controlling speed modes of the device by adding the power-control dictionary with default-speed and high-speed keys (both mandatory in that case), where the speed preset may be one of: quiet, balanced, turbo, and max.

For a mopping-capable vacuum (i.e. Gen 2 - S50/S55), a mop mode button can be also enabled using the mop-enabled option that is a true/false value. You can skip that option altogether - false will be the default.

Example:

{
    "accessory": "ValetudoXiaomiVacuum",
    "name": "Mo",
    "ip": "192.00.486.259",
    "power-control": {
        "default-speed": "quiet",
        "high-speed": "turbo",
        "mop-enabled": true
    }
}

Valetudo RE

If running your vacuum using Valetudo RE, legacy-mode needs to be set to true.

Example:

{
    "accessory": "ValetudoXiaomiVacuum",
    "name": "<Accessory name, e.g. Vacuum>",
    "ip": "<Vacuum's ip address>",
    "legacy-mode": true
}

Compatibility

Tested on Roborock S50 with firmware v001748 and Valetudo 0.6.1.

Vacuum map in Home app

I played a little with an idea of setting up a HomeKit camera that grabs the generated Vacuum image and streams it as a video. The idea issue contains more details.
