Feature request: Do not start zone cleaning automatically
eflavio opened this issue · 5 comments
Hi,
I programmed my robot to clean different zones on different days of the week. I would like to start these programmed zoned cleanings manually. For this, the robot should go to a defined position and wait for me to start by pressing the cleaning button on the robot.
What's the issue here?
I'm asking for an enhancement/feature. I couldn't figure out how to label accordingly...
You could probably program the goto position for a specific day, but since the function of the hardware buttons can't be changed by valetudo, there's no way to start a zoned cleaning with them. The cleaning button will always start a full clean run.

Just adding "feature request" in the title would help.
The zoned cleaning can be stopped and resumed with the main button when it started. So a workflow could look like:
- On day x and time t go to the defined position
- start and immediately pause the programmed cleaning
- the robot is starts the zoned cleaning when the main button is pushed
IMHO this sounds like a perfect job for a home automation system like HA. There you'll be able to create/program such a process with the current valetudo implementation.

I wasn't aware of this fact.
