Hey everyone, I wanted to share my recent success in integrating my Xiaomi Roborock S6 vacuum cleaner into my OpenHAB setup. It’s been a journey, but I’m thrilled with how it turned out!
I stumbled upon this GitHub repository (https://github.com/tetsuo-repo/oh3-widgets) that provided the necessary widgets and configurations. The process wasn’t without its hurdles, especially figuring out the right room IDs and dealing with some JavaScript quirks, but the end result is fantastic!
Here’s a quick rundown of what I did:
- Configuration Setup: I mapped out my rooms and assigned each a unique ID. This was a bit trial and error, but once I got it right, the vacuum knew exactly where to go.
- Widget Customization: The widget allows for multiple room selections, which is super handy. I also added status indicators for battery life and cleaning duration, which gives me real-time updates.
- Automation Integration: Now, I can trigger cleaning schedules directly from OpenHAB, and even control the vacuum’s fan speed. It’s like having a smart assistant for my floors!
For anyone looking to do something similar, here are a few tips:
- Start Small: Begin with one room and work your way up. This helps in troubleshooting if something goes wrong.
- Backup Your Configurations: Before making any changes, always backup your current setup. It’s a simple step that can save you a lot of hassle.
- Join the Community: Don’t hesitate to ask for help. The OpenHAB community is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable.
I’m really excited about how this integration has streamlined my cleaning routine. It’s just one more step towards my fully automated smart home!
If anyone has questions or wants more details, feel free to reach out. I’d love to help!
Cheers,
