Roomba no longer updating "cleaned_area" or "cleaning_time" attributes

[drinfernoo]

The problem

I have a Roomba 960, which has been working very well with the core integration for a few months now... But suddenly I'm no longer getting the cleaned_time or cleaned_area attributes updated.

I noticed it first a few days ago in 2021.4.6 (though I'm fairly certain it was working in that same version at some point), but have since updated to 2021.5.1, and am still seeing this behavior. I don't see any unusual behavior in logs, and my robot is connected successfully, because I can definitely control it from HA.

Has anyone else experienced this?

What is version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2021.5.1

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

2021.4.6

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant Container

I think that this happened because of a software update on the Roomba... I am currently on version 2.4.16-216, updated 4/29/2021, and I think that may have been when it broke for me. It doesn't appear that those attributes are even reported in the vacuum's state anymore, but it would be great if this would get looked at.

Actually, it does seem that way indeed. I've connected to the robot manually via rest980, and found that the mssnM and sqft values are no longer updated during cleaning. I'm not sure if that change did actually coincide with the 2.4.6-216 firmware update, but it seems it won't be possible to get those anymore.

There is a value (mssnStrtTm) that gets updated with the "mission start time", but there would actually need to be some effort there in order to figure out the time elapsed since start. Regarding cleaned area, I don't see anything useful in the response, but this is the full state response for my robot from one instant in his cleaning cycle:

#51163 has been merged, which works around the cleaning time by calculating it based off of mssnStrtTm, but I'm afraid it appears that there simply isn't anything useful in the response for calculating cleaner area any longer 😕

After debugging against the dorita980 package, to get the raw JSON response as mentioned above, the only fields that change during the cleaning cycle are related to the position and signal strength... I am still able to get cleaned area from the iRobot app, once a clean map has been generated, but the only thing I can think is that they're calculating this server-side, meaning that would be a cloud-only feature.

Unfortunately, dorita980 doesn't yet (maybe won't ever? There doesn't appear to have been much movement since 2017) support a cloud API for iRobot firmwares from 2.x and onward.
