mqtt-roomba-esp01's Issues

Roomba will not start

I have a model 790. It will not start when i press the switch. It just beeps once and nothing happens.
Are there different commands?

No data when roomba is cleaning

Soo, i got everything working perfectly.
Only thing thats happening to my setup is that i think the ESP shuts down when the roomba is cleaning.

I get no data from the esp whenever its cleaning. And no way to really check whats happening to the esp when its cleaning.

Any idea what i can do?

Icon

Just an FYI that the icon "Roomba" has changed to "robot-vacuum" in material design icons.

Program Music

Hello Hookup,

Just wondering if you also written something that programs music onto the roomba.
I would love to have it play Darth Vaders theme song whenever it starts cleaning.

Written the following function as a test, and added it after the setup_wifi() function. But that didnt do the trick.

This is a song for Jingle Bells that i found.

void jinglesetup() { Serial.write(128); delay(50); Serial.write(131); delay(50); Serial.write(140); delay(50); Serial.write(2); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(76); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(76); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(76); delay(50); Serial.write(32); delay(50); Serial.write(76); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(76); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(76); delay(50); Serial.write(32); delay(50); Serial.write(76); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(79); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(72); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(74); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(76); delay(50); Serial.write(32); delay(50); Serial.write(77); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(77); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(77); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(77); delay(50); Serial.write(32); delay(50); Serial.write(77); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(140); delay(50); Serial.write(3); delay(50); Serial.write(7); delay(50); Serial.write(76); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(76); delay(50); Serial.write(32); delay(50); Serial.write(79); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(79); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(77); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(74); delay(50); Serial.write(16); delay(50); Serial.write(72); delay(50); Serial.write(32); }

Problems with roomba 521

Hi,
I have roomba 521; I followed your instructions using ESP01S, but I have these problems:

• I don’t get status and battery charge via HA
• on 20 tentatively start via HA:
  • only one roomba started fine
  • only one time roomba main button shutdown led light shut down and roomba go straight at maximum speed, it go in front of wall and it don’t stop, it don’t used front sensor so I had to manually take roomba to stop it
  • other times don’t started
    I see always blu led of ESP blinking....

I already check voltage after bulb converter and on ESP connector: always about 3,3V....

I tried another ESP...

What I have to do?

roomba/status vs roomba/currentStatus

Can you explain why you have roomba/currentStatus in your config.yaml and not roomba/status? I am not getting feedback from the roomba when using your code as is and wondering if that's the issue? Very well could be I dont understand enough about MQTT. Thanks so much for this project, it's awesome.

EDIT - Nevermind, figured out nodered was generating the MQTT topic of currentStatus. Sorry! Thanks again.

Configuration.yaml entries are no longer valid

Home assistant version 2023.1.1
MQTT entry requirements has changed and the MQTT configuration.yaml entries no longer work

Charging status not returning expected values

I've got your code up and running and everything works as expected except for the roomba/charging-topic. I don't get 0 through 5 as mentioned in your video, but values such as 4, 225, 248, 254, 255 - do you have an idea why that is the case?

endless reconnect

You have an issue in your code:

if (!client.connected())
{
reconnect();
}

creates endless reconnect loop

roomba dustbin sensor

Hi,
Do you know how roomba returns dustbin sensor status? I've looked in the dockumentation but no luck :(

Can't get Status value

I can't get Status value from Roomba 581. Just getting Charging and Battery value. Any advice?

howto rename Roomba

if I have different Roomba to control where I can change name of Roomba to control them all together with same MQTT server?

Writing a song to the Roomba

First of all, thank you so much for this code.
I got this running on my roomba, and it worked great untill I tried to fix the cables and broke the port.

Guess im going to have to find a cheap second hand 500 series so i can try again.

I was wondering if you or anyone else thats using this code has figured out how i could program a song onto the roomba.
Tried to make a function myself example showed below, its for jingle bells and should be correct.
But it seems to now work. Can anyone help me?

I really want to program The Imperial March, and have it play that song everytime it starts cleaning.
Just for fun ofcourse, and maybe find some darth vader decals for the roomba haha.

I made an extra payload with mqtt, that starts this installl. and another that starts the song. But its not working.

void jinglesetupb() { Serial.write(128); Serial.write(131); Serial.write(140); Serial.write(2); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(76); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(76); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(76); Serial.write(32); Serial.write(76); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(76); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(76); Serial.write(32); Serial.write(76); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(79); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(72); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(74); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(76); Serial.write(32); Serial.write(77); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(77); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(77); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(77); Serial.write(32); Serial.write(77); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(140); Serial.write(3); Serial.write(7); Serial.write(76); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(76); Serial.write(32); Serial.write(79); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(79); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(77); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(74); Serial.write(16); Serial.write(72); Serial.write(32); }

More meaningful charging state

Wrong packet ID is used for battery voltage at

MQTT-Roomba-ESP01/RoombaESP01_CONFIGURE.ino

Line 126 in 7ad7cd0

roomba.getSensors(21, tempBuf, 1);

Packet ID 21 is the Charging State
Packet ID 22 is the Voltage

It is only a variable naming issue, but the integer value of Packet ID 21 can be mapped to a more meaningful name based on the Code and Charging State mapping.
