  1. I'm thinking about buying a robo #vacuum. For sure i don't want it to contact manufacturer servers (privacy/dependency). ... i don't have to explain you probably.

    I discovered the project #valetudo. Sounds really good. Does someone have experience how good it rooting device and afterwards using it works and give some tipps what to do?

  2. With #Valetudo I'm in control of my robot vacuum cleaner and I can collect e.g. WiFi signal strength data. I was able to feed that into #Valeronoi and learn where the signal is strong.

    I also learned that the robot is always connected to the same #WiFi access point, and it never switches to an access point with stronger signal when in reach. I'll look into changing that via its #WpaSupplicant. With #FreeSoftware I can do this kind of analyses and tweaking.

  3. 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!!
