I really want a functioning vacuum robot (as in the vacuum works great) with a good API. The closest thing I’ve seen is Roborocks Socket API.

- the_sleaze_ 4y agoNot sure what you'd want to do with the project if it's already a 'great vaccuum'. There's this https://github.com/Sollimann/CleanIt https://github.com/Sollimann/CleanIt for iRobot or 'Valetudo' for Xiaomi, which may be at the very least hackable, if not have good APIs. And there are of course projects to build your own https://github.com/awesome-vacuum/awesome-vacuum https://github.com/awesome-vacuum/awesome-vacuum
- pj_mukh 4y agoA great vacuum as in it can suck dirt. That's all. CleanIt for example, only works with iRobot Create i.e. no vacuum. Cool open-source hardware projects in awesome-vacuum though. I'd love to abstract away atleast the hardware vacuum parts if possible.
- gherdty 4y agoI don’t think it’s a public API but you can easily hack the Eufy 30C. I have been using mine with home assistant automations for a few years now. It’s cheap but I love it and I’m honestly considering buying another one. It has gotten a little noisy after 3 years.

- neilv 4y agoiRobot Roombas have (had?) APIs. I collected info about the various protocols and interfacing options in 2013, in the course of making a Racket package for the Roomba and Create. https://www.neilvandyke.org/racket/roomba/ https://www.neilvandyke.org/racket/roomba/
