A simple command-line python script to drive a robot vacuum. Currently known to work with the Ecovacs Deebot 960/950/920 from both North America and Europe.
If you have a recent version of Python 3, you should be able to
do pip install deebotozmo to get the most recently released version of
this.
To get started, you'll need to have already set up an EcoVacs account using your smartphone.
With that ready, step one is to log in:
% deebotozmo createconfig
Ecovacs app email: [your email]
Ecovacs app password: [your password]
your two-letter country code: us
your two-letter continent code: na
Config saved.
That creates a config file in a platform-appropriate place. The password is hashed before saving, so it's reasonably safe. (If it doesn't appear to work for your continent, try "ww", their world-wide catchall.)
With that set up, you could have it clean in auto mode for 10 minutes and return to its charger:
% deebotozmo clean
To tell it to go plug in:
% deebotozmo charge
You are welcome to try using this as a python library for other efforts. A simple usage might go something like this:
import deebotozmo
config = ...
api = EcoVacsAPI(config['device_id'], config['email'], config['password_hash'],
config['country'], config['continent'])
my_vac = api.devices()[0]
vacbot = VacBot(api.uid, api.REALM, api.resource, api.user_access_token, my_vac, config['continent'])
vacbot.connect_and_wait_until_ready()
vacbot.Clean() # start cleaning
time.sleep(900) # clean for 15 minutes
vacbot.Charge() # return to the charger
My heartfelt thanks to:
- sucks, After all, this is a sucks fork :)
- xmpppeek, a great library for examining XMPP traffic flows (yes, your vacuum speaks Jabbber!),
- mitmproxy, a fantastic tool for analyzing HTTPS,
- click, a wonderfully complete and thoughtful library for making Python command-line interfaces,
- requests, a polished Python library for HTTP requests,
- Decompilers online, which was very helpful in figuring out what the Android app was up to,
- Albert Louw, who was kind enough to post code from his own experiments with his device, and
- All the users who have given useful feedback and contributed code!
