The domoticz xiaomi vacuum also has a Reset consumables (filter, brushes, sensor cleaning) counter (in
that can be reset.

Thread resurrection but my Deebot arrives today (hopefully) I didn't want to jump into anything
With MSR running on the same host as OpenLuup and AltUI can I use the Deebot plug for additional funkiness?
Cheers

@catmanv2 I have my deebots under home assistant and I’m activating them via MSR, based on our presence. I have also notifications, via custom code. No need to map under Vera/openluup, because I control them via its native Alexa skill.

@catmanv2 I was previously using my own app sending mqtt updates and virtual devices in Vera, but I’ve since switched to HASS because it’s easier to get support for cloud based devices. I have bmw&mini, nest, ecovacs and landroid integrations. Some of them are feeding their values via MAR into virtual devices in my old Vera, just because I have something else (mainly dashboards) using these values and I’ve not changed them yet. I’ll probably remove them later this year if I’ll move to ZwaveJS, but right now my setup is pretty stable.
I really thinks it’s easier to use HASS, since with docker the setup is really plug&play, and they update integrations very often, so you’re covered if something is broken in the cloud integration.

Thanks. Looks like that needs another VM or docker. I might have a play. It might be the time to upgrade my NAS and start learning Docker etc as my current NotVera install is on an aging NUC...
Looks like even the base DS220j will do docker and, when populated will fulfill my needs for storage. Hmmm
Might spin up a VM and give HASS a try

Ok, I decided to dive into Robot Vaccum cleaners , so picked up an 2nd hand Roomba e5 and have also got a Deenkee arriving tomorrow (damn you Amazon and your lightening deals !!!)
Now, I obviously will want to get them both integrated into my Vera/OpenLuup world at some point, and starting with the Roomba, I’ve been trying to get Rest980 up and running (https://github.com/koalazak/rest980)..
Is anyone already using this to interface with their Roomba ?
If not, what are people using with their Roombas? -
@therealdb said in Generic support for vacuums:
@parkerc I’ve moved to Exovacs and I’m currently using home assistant via MSR to trigger and manage them. I have two and I’m quite happy.
Exovacs, or Ecovacs?
