Roborock vacuum

Roborock. It accepts segment cleaning commands with a list of room IDs and the HA integration has a sensor that reports the room the vac is currently in. To check off rooms that are cleaned I set each room with (1) a history sensor that tracks the total time the vac's current room sensor has matched the room's name and (2) an input_boolean to indicate the room's cleaned status. An automation monitors the history sensors and turns off the boolean when the per-room threshold is reached. The room cleaned booleans are used to assemble the list of room IDs sent to the vacuum for cleaning. If it is …

Whenever a cat uses one of our Litter Robot catboxes, the Roborock vacuum is dispatched to that specific area to vacuum up any stray cat litter.

… a strong integration with HA works great. Anything cheap/DIY often works out more difficult and time consuming. Stable: \- Reolink (F'ing amazing) \- Roborock (solid) \- SMLight Zigbee Dongle \- Custom Firmware Xiaomi Thermometer (bluetooth) \- Airtouch AC Controller Unstable: \- Shelly Dimmer 2 (1/20 blew up after 1 year; cost $300) \- Zigbee GU10 Globes (80% failure rate after 6 months) \- Wyze Cams/Sensors \- Frigate (Updates and DIY coding setup is often cause for breaking) \- Aqara Zigbee Sensors (inconsistent and dropping from network)

Roborock vacuum & mop Definitely spent way more than I would've liked too, but gotdang it it's worth every single penny especially with having multiple dogs and hard surface floors throughout our main level. The second would be Sonos speakers, because we use them everyday (surround sound on the family room TV, speakers in several other rooms). I got lucky, because I worked at Best Buy at the time and got them for all for 45% off. It'll be a side day when I have to pay full price for more. Lol

… what you're adding. There's a few broad categories when it comes to adding stuff: * Stuff that requires you to add it to an app first.

You have to remove the vacuum from the Roborock app and add it to the Xiaomi app. It's only then that you can do what the other people have said to get the token. The problem with that is that the Xiaomi app has less functionality than the Roborock app. So I would check to make sure you're not going to lose any functionality that you want before making the switch. I ended up staying in the Roborock app because I would lose more than I would gain. Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted, as it's a fact that the token can only be accessed when using the Xiaomi Mi Home app and not the Roborock …
