Password not reading

[JBSullivan]

No chance to get the Roomba password - any ideas?

`> dorita980@3.1.8 getpassword c:\iobroker\GLT\node_modules\dorita980

node ./bin/getpassword.js "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

Make sure your robot is on the Home Base and powered on (green lights on). Then press and hold the HOME button on your robot until it plays a series of tones (about 2 seconds). Release the button and your robot will flash WIFI light.
Then press any key here...

I have the same issue

I have the same problem

I have the same issue, do you find a solution?

I think the new firmware of robot (3.4.63) is not compatible with the API and I don't know if it's possible to do a downgrade on roomba

[koalazak]

hey guys, which node.js verions are you using?

[lgrueni]

Hi, I have V14.15

Same problem with a 980 on v2.4.6-3, so I'm pretty sure it's not the new firmware :(

Hi,

I was having the same problem with node v12 (12.21.0), but I tried with v10 (10.24.1) and it worked!

With the version in mind, I checked the releases notes for node v12 and I saw this: https://nodejs.org/tr/blog/uncategorized/10-lts-to-12-lts/#notable-changes-in-node-js-11-8-0

tls:
tls.connect() takes a timeout option analogous to the net.connect() one. nodejs/node#25517

Then, according to the documentation, I added timeout: 5000 to https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980/blob/master/bin/getpassword.js#L91 and tried with v12, v14 and v16 and it worked (I needed a retry on v16, maybe another option is needed with the latest version)

Currently I don't have time to test this well and make a Pull Request, but anyone can take the information on this comment to do it =)

I'm having the same issue. After working for a long time with home assistant my roomba wont connect it would fail connection in the home assistant logs. I tried deleting the integration and reinstalling. In reinstalling the integration again I needed the BLID and password so when I go to get the BLID it doesn't get the password like above issue. On the suggestion of node version I ran the command $node -v in the terminal which returns v10.24.0

folks I just tested the lib in latest version with latest 2.4.16-126 firmware on my roomba980 and it works fine with node 10, 12, 14 and 16.

➜  dorita980test node --version
v16.9.1
➜  dorita980test node ./node_modules/dorita980/bin/getpassword.js 192.168.1.103

}
Password=> :1:xxxxx:xxxxxxxxx <= Yes, all this string.
Use this credentials in dorita980 lib :)

most common issues getting your password is pressing the wrong button on roomba or having the mobile application opened. Or firewall problems.

I will add the timeout config suggested by @Nyaran anyway

Will close this ticket
