Features

The following features come with this adapter:

• Send commands (start, stop, resume, pause, dock) to your Roomba
• Retrieve device states, such as battery, docked, full / inserted bin (see Channels & States for full list)
• Retrieve device configuration, such as preferences, network or schedule settings (see Channels & States for full list)
• Retrieve device statistics, such as total missions, hours on docking station, etc. (see Channels & States for full list)
• Retrieve information about current mission (when your Roomba is cleaning), such as start and end time, total runtime, sqm cleaned, etc. (only on supported Roomba's see Supported Roomba's / Firmware versions)
• Draw map based on the mission data received (only on supported Roomba's)
• Web Interface that shows the status and map of the current as well as previous / archived missions:

Installation

ioBroker.roomba needs canvas in order to draw maps of the Roomba missions. ioBroker will try to install this dependency with ioBroker.roomba installation.

Though, you probably have to install package dependencies of canvas (and canvas itself) with the following command:

Linux

sudo apt-get install build-essential libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev librsvg2-dev

Furthermore, run the following command in the ioBroker.roomba directory (/opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.roomba):

sudo npm install canvas --unsafe-perm=true

Windows

1. Make sure you have node-gyp installed via

   npm install -g node-gyp
   

2. Make sure you have build essentials installed via

   npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
   

3. Download GTK 2 (for Win32 or Win64) and unzip it (e.g. to C:\path\to\GTK2)

4. Run

   node-gyp rebuild --GTK_Root=C:\path\to\GTK2
   

5. Install canvas from within the iobroker.roomba folder

   cd C:\path\to\iobroker\node_modules\iobroker.roomba
   npm install canvas
   

For details, see https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/wiki/Installation:-Windows.

Setup instructions

Automated setup

To automatically setup ioBroker.roomba following the instructions in the admin panel of ioBroker.roomba.

ATTENTION: The authentication credentials are not the same as you are using in the smartphone app!

1. Make sure the ioBroker.roomba adapter is started.
2. Make sure your robot is on the Home Base and powered on (green lights on).
3. Then press and hold the HOME button on your robot until it plays a series of tones (about 2 seconds).
4. Release the button and your robot will flash WIFI light.
5. Then come back here press the button to retrieve IP and credentials.

If the automated process fails retrieving your credentials, please use the manual setup.

Manual setup

Smart Home / Alexa integration using ioBroker.javascript

Send Map via Telegram when mission is finished

This requires the ioBroker adapter ioBroker.telegram to be installed (https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.telegram).

Create a script in the "common" folder of ioBroker.javascript and add the following listener to it:

var _fs = require('fs');

/*
 * MISSION END: Send map
 * 
 */
var message = "%device.name% finished at %missions.current.endedDateTime% cleaning %missions.current.sqm% sqm in %missions.current.runtime% seconds (%missions.current.error% errors).";
var ns = 'roomba.0';
var imagePath = 'tmp/';

on({id: ns + '.missions.current.ended', change: 'any'}, function(obj)
{
    if (!obj.state || !obj.state.val) return;
    
    // replace variables with state values
    var pos, variable, state, value;
    while (message.indexOf('%') > -1)
    {
        pos = message.indexOf('%');
        variable = message.substring(pos, message.indexOf('%', pos+1)+1);
        state = getState(ns + '.' + variable.replace(/%/g, ''));
        
        if (state !== null && state.val !== null)
            value = state.val
        else
        {
            log('State ' + variable.replace(/%/g, '') + ' not found!', 'warn');
            value =  '';
        }

        if (typeof value === "boolean") value = value === true ? 'with' : 'no';
        message = message.replace(RegExp(variable, 'gi'), value);
    }
    
    // console
    log(message);
    
    // get image
    var img = getState(ns + '.missions.current.mapImage').val;

    if (img !== null && img.indexOf('data:image/png;base64,') > -1)
    {
        _fs.writeFile(imagePath + 'image.png', img.replace(/^data:image\/png;base64,/, ''), 'base64', function(err)
        {
            if (err !== null)
                log(err.message, 'warn');
            else
                sendTo('telegram', {text: imagePath + 'image.png', message: message});
        });
    }
});

2019-05-04 fixed error that prevented sending the map

You may edit the variable message to any notification you would like to receive with the map. You may use %name-of-state% to retrieve the value of a state within the ioBroker.roomba object tree.
