AD-RoombaMap

This app generates a map of the cleaned area for supported vacuums with the help of the iRobot HomeAssistant integration. To check if your iRobot vacuum is supported, have a look at its attributes and look for "Position".

This project is still in an early state. It should work but there might still be bugs. Make sure to report them 😄

Preview

Please note that this App cannot create a floor plan. You need to provide it yourself. It only draws the red line to indicate where the robot has traveled.

In this preview, I'm using the Lovelace Vacuum Map card for a nice combined view of map, controls and sensors.

Tested & works with:

• Roomba 980

Your robot is not listed here? Open an issue and tell us if it works with your model 😄

TODO:

• Overall improvements
• Release on HACS
• Error handling for missing/wrong arguments

App configuration

Important

This app requires the python package pillow. You need to install it before using this app!
Read more about how to install custom packages.

Example

RoombaMap_roomba:
  module: RoombaMap
  class: Generate
  debug: True
  vacuum_entity: vacuum.roomba
  map_base_image: /homeassistant/floorplans/home.png
  map_offset_x: 200
  map_offset_y: 130
  map_rotation: 90
  tmp_path: /homeassistant/www/tmp

Note: If your addon version is 0.14.0 or below, you should either update or use config instead of homeassistant in the file paths!

Parameters

key	required	type	default	description
debug	False	bool	False	Enable debug log messages.
vacuum_entity	True	string		The entity_id of the vacuum. Make sure the entity has the "Position" attribute!!
map_base_image	True	string		Path to a floor plan of the cleaning area.
map_offset_x	True	int		X offset for the map. Start by setting it to 0. If the lines are out-of-place, change the value (in pixels) to align it correctly.
map_offset_y	True	int		Y offset for the map. Start by setting it to 0. If the lines are out-of-place, change the value (in pixels) to align it correctly.
map_rotation	True	int		Rotate the map if it doesn't align correctly. Start by setting it to 0 and begin trying with 90, 180, 270 to align it.
tmp_path	True	string		A path to a folder that should be used for temp storage. In this path, the map image will be generated for you to be used in HA.

Integrate the generated image into HA

To show the image in HA, just create a new camera with the platform local_file.
Example:

camera:
  - platform: local_file
    name: Roomba Map
    file_path: /config/www/tmp/vacuum_roomba/map.png
