Roomba Verified@homebridge-plugins/homebridge-roomba | Partly works | Shows no response when Homebridge host is offline; reported often unresponsiveSaved copyMine has been shit and I’m about to throw it in the trash and be done with homebridge.

Roomba Verified@homebridge-plugins/homebridge-roomba | Won’t be supported | Robot vacuum category is Matter only; Homebridge plugin cannot expose it as a vacuumSaved copyNot possible. Robot vacuums are added as a category for Matter only, not HomeKit. So not available to Homebridge. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Local | Reddit comment · 2024-06 |
