Is there any possibility to add other robots e.g. VR7 ? Unfortunately, I have no means to do that because I don't own a VR7. But contributions are appreciated of course!

In ReReHome

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.

Caveats from the README

  • Some features need Eve app
  • Pairing HAP and Matter can duplicate tiles
