I’m considering buying a robot vacuum cleaner, but I’m not a fan of the idea that it would scan my apartment and send data to the cloud.

I came across the Valetudo project, and it looks promising. It doesn’t replace the firmware - just replaces the cloud connection with local automation systems instead. Has anyone here used it? Or are you using something else for local control? I’d love to hear your experience 🙂

    Do you have a link to any docs showing this? I’ve been looking at supported vacs but want to avoid the pcbs if at all possible.

      Click on “If you know what you’re doing, here’s the relevant pinout for you (click me)” and you’ll see the pinout. Keep in mind:

      If you don’t know what you’re doing and start bothering the support chat with questions on what to do with this pinout, I will send you pictures of sad kittens. You have been warned.
