Question regarding beta 6

[CooperCGN]

I know it’s beta but I was running beta 4 already quite successfully. Just updated to beta 6 and now all I get in the home app is two of the house icons stating being not supported. All they contain is the battery status, no switches to start cleaning.

Do you have a rough idea (not trying to push you) how further development will go? I might consider going to the latest stable depending on that.

[naofireblade]

I will try to release a stable beta today evening.

The room cleaning feature may be included as well but is not tested.

[CooperCGN]

That sounds awesome, I personally don’t need the room cleaning feature right now. Just want to start whole map cleaning when leaving the house.

I personally d̶o̶n̶t̶ need the room cleaning feature
😅

@naofireblade I will of course test the feature when available in the new beta.

The weather was to good today. Next attempt for a new beta tomorrow :) .

Hi, I published beta 7. If it still does not work you need to remove your robot(s) from cache in Homebridge UI:

Room cleaning is not ready for testing yet but the rooms should be listed in your log.

That would be awesome! I'm planning to make an option for queuing the rooms instead of interrupting the currently cleaned one.

[CooperCGN]

So everything is working for me except the zone cleaning where I have no switches showing up. Maybe it’s because I have a D5 and a D7? D5 doesn’t support zones.

[naofireblade]

Zones (rooms) are not available in the beta yet. Could you check if your log lists your rooms after removing the cached accessory? That would help me to know if I'm on the right path.

[CooperCGN]

Yes they’re showing up with the remark that not available in beta 😂 stupid me

Great. Thanks!

Thank a lot. Already installed beta 7.
I noticed that in Eve App something is wrong with the switches "Sauge Bereich" and "Saugen". They both seem linked together somehow. I think I can remember we had something similar in the past. I can't sort/arrange them in Eve App in a different order. Also when changing the Icons on one switch it also changes on other switches as well.
Everything else with my D7 is looking good for now I think.

Good morning, before you read the rest, is the background polling already implemented while a robot is cleaning?

I did some further testing with automations. If I understand the basics right the plugin is supposed to switch automatically between updating the status every 30 minutes while a robot is inactive and updating every 60 seconds while cleaning until he returns to the base.

While my automation which uses starting the upstairs robot as trigger (either by Siri or by automation) works perfectly the other one using the charging base being occupied again after cleaning only triggered like 15 to 20 minutes after it actually stopped.

@naofireblade I hope everything is all right with you.
Any news with the ongoing development of the beta? Looking forward to room cleaning feature again.
The basics with v1.0.0-beta.7 are working good for me since a month now.
Thanks again.

[naofireblade]

Sure, just a lot of work to do. Thanks for the little reminder here, I will look to find some free time for the plugin

[CooperCGN]

Is this still a thing? 😄

[naofireblade]

I‘m still alive 😊 and have a bad conscience because of the halting development. Hope I will have some time soon.

[CooperCGN]

Just to let you know: my D5 works as expected but every time I start my D7 from HomeKit after a while it stops and says it is on the wrong floor. Even more weird, I then have to factory reset it completely because it won’t recognize the floor plan anymore. I ran it over months directly from the app and it works flawlessly. Maybe your plugin sends some incorrect data?
