Hello everyone! 
I hope you’re all doing well. I wanted to share a little success story about my smart vacuum cleaner automation and also some tips I’ve learned while setting up my Zigbee network. 
First, let me talk about my vacuum setup. I’ve been trying to get my vacuum to clean automatically when I’m away. After some trial and error, I managed to create a simple automation that activates when my ‘Away Mode’ is turned on. The best part is, it only runs once every 24 hours, so I don’t have to worry about it cleaning multiple times in a day. It’s been working perfectly for a few weeks now! Here’s a quick look at the automation setup:
yaml
alias: ‘Robovac: Clean when I am not home’
description: ‘Automatically run the vacuum when away’
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_boolean.away_mode
from: ‘off’
to: ‘on’
condition: - condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.away_mode
state: ‘on’ - condition: state
entity_id: vacuum.robovac
state: ‘off’
for: hours: 24
action: - service: vacuum.start
entity_id: vacuum.robovac
Now, onto the Zigbee network tips! I’ve been expanding my network and ran into an issue where I couldn’t add new devices. After some research, I discovered that having too many devices on a single coordinator can cause congestion. If you’re experiencing similar issues, I recommend adding a few wired devices as repeaters. This has significantly improved my network stability! 
I’d love to hear about your automation setups or any tips you’ve picked up along the way. Let’s keep the community growing! 
Happy automating!
