Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart #vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware & Python scripts to run offline-Tom's Hardware

An engineer got curious about how his #iLifeA11 #SmartVacuum worked & #monitored the network traffic coming from the device. That’s when he noticed it was constantly sending logs & #telemetry data to the manufacturer — something he hadn't consented to.

I saw this for as low as £119.99 on Amazon. How well can a small cleaner like this clean your house? #OKP K5 gave me a run for its money with quite surprising results.

After successfully installing valetudo on my roborock s7, I added it into HomeAssistant via mqtt and made 2 custom notifications through HomeAssistant if the vacuum cleaner is done or stuck. So now I have pretty much the same functionality than before but without using the Xiaomi cloud. Awesome!! #valetudo #roborocks7 #HomeAssistant #mqtt #smartvacuum
