My cleaner robot isnt even connected to wifi. Why would it need to be? When i go to work, i hit the clean button. When i come back, my floors are clean. I honestly wonder what more one could ask from such a machine.


I have a schedule in home assistant for it to run on all weekdays at 1pm, except if my partner is home, it won’t run. She is afraid of robots and i wouldnt hear the end of it if she encountered it and couldn’t disable it. Home assistant knows if she is home based on her phone.

I have been exploring valetudo because the roborock integration breaks pretty often. But it seems like a chore and could brick my robot.


One partner afraid of robots the other roots vacuums. Interesting combo


Same in my house. :D


For me the point is automation of low value work. I don’t want to press a button. I don’t want to even think about it.


The shitty app requires cloud access to set boundaries to protect carpets from being washed.


Scheduling automatic runs.
