Roomba 671 - Lights do not turn off

[jussbba]

Hello, have you figured this out? I think I have the same problem. I am using hassio component and I have Roomba 676.

Thanks!

For what's worth it - same here, Roomba 675. Especially annoying as it sleeps in the same room as some guests. Green light can be spooky thus acceptable for Halloween, but the other 364 nights has no use 😓

When you say lights, you mean on the Roomba? what kind of Roomba do you have? I'm not sure I understand the reference to .yaml either, I don't use yaml.

I have the same issue as @frankdoylezw:

• I have a Roomba 691.
• I have setup the Home Assistant component
• The lights of the Roomba do not turn off.

Same issue on Roomba 890 both in continuous or not.

Hello, same issue here, also for Roomba 676.

Hello, same isseu here but i have a Roomba E5

[NickWaterton]

What lights are you talking about?

[edwardhadders]

When you connect to the roomba from the original app the ligt from clean button will turn on and the display will show you the battery percentage and WiFi status
When i use the iRobot intergration these lights keeps on 24/7

Same issue here. Running the iRobot configuration with home assistant. Issue is present in both continuous and non-continuous mode.

Same thing happening with Roomba 675

[AriFijan]

Same problem here, any updates available? I don't want to tape off the lights or open up the robot to disconnect any wires if that can be avoided.

Same on 676, seems like a limitation on the roomba. As soon and as long as an mqtt connection is active, the LEDs are on. Can we submit feature requests to iRobot somewhere? 🤡

edit: Disconnecting the LEDs will be tricky, they are soldered onto the mainboard...

Same here, this is pretty problematic as it seems to drain the battery quite a bit, and using continuous: off in home-assistant (in my case), just make the state-sync very unreliable.

[NickWaterton]

If anyone knows how to turn the lights off, I’ll be happy to implement it.

Roomba do not accept user suggestions by the way (one of their policies) - I assume it’s some legal thing.

The power drain from the lights is minuscule compared to the drive/vacuum motors. Probably about the same as the WiFi connection.

[chasylexus]

the same issue with my roomba 694

[zaregg]

same issue with my roomba e5, lights will not turn off while having the roomba integration enabled.
