homebridge-valetudo-xiaomi-vacuum
is a Homebridge plugin which you can use to control your Xiaomi Roborock vacuum that has Valetudo installed.
npm -g install homebridge-valetudo-xiaomi-vacuum
An entry in config.json
is needed.
Example:
{
"accessory": "ValetudoXiaomiVacuum",
"name": "<Accessory name, e.g. Vacuum>",
"ip": "<Vacuum's ip address>"
}
Optionally, you can enable switches for controlling speed modes of the device by adding the power-control
dictionary with default-speed
and high-speed
keys (both mandatory in that case), where the speed preset may be one of: quiet
, balanced
, turbo
, and max
.
For a mopping-capable vacuum (i.e. Gen 2 - S50/S55), a mop mode button can be also enabled using the mop-enabled
option that is a true
/false
value. You can skip that option altogether - false
will be the default.
Example:
{
"accessory": "ValetudoXiaomiVacuum",
"name": "Mo",
"ip": "192.00.486.259",
"power-control": {
"default-speed": "quiet",
"high-speed": "turbo",
"mop-enabled": true
}
}
If running your vacuum using Valetudo RE, legacy-mode
needs to be set to true
.
Example:
{
"accessory": "ValetudoXiaomiVacuum",
"name": "<Accessory name, e.g. Vacuum>",
"ip": "<Vacuum's ip address>",
"legacy-mode": true
}
Tested on Roborock S50 with firmware v001748 and Valetudo 0.6.1.
I played a little with an idea of setting up a HomeKit camera that grabs the generated Vacuum image and streams it as a video. The idea issue contains more details.
