Roomba Verified@homebridge-plugins/homebridge-roomba | Works | Runs fine but did not work with new j7 cipher on same bridgeSaved copyReally, we’re having more trouble with the 980 than the J7. It’s gotten stuck 5 out of the last 8 days. However, a couple of those times were due to things getting in the way, so I’m not ready to blame the Roomba2 plugin. It had been working fine for months before the latest update. I don’t have the Dorita980 plugin and have just used the one that’s built into yours. Thank you for your responses. I had struggled for months with the homebridge-irobot app, but I could never get both the J7 and the 980 working at the same time. Yours has seemed to fix that.

iRobot Roomba Verifiedhomebridge-irobot-v2 | Not working | Reported not workingSaved copyhomebridge-iRobot-v2 A Homebridge plugin to integrate iRobot Roombas into HomeKit. This plugin is based on homebridge-IRobot , but since this plugin has not gotten any updates for a long time, I decided to create a new plugin based on the old one. This plugin is not compatible with the old one, so you have to remove the old plugin and install this one. The general idea for this new plugin is to make fix reported bugs and keep it up to date where necessary. Once the latest iOS 18 update is released, I will update the plugin to support the new features (if possible).

iRobothomebridge-irobot | Not working | Same blid not found error despite being on supported listSaved copyHi I am having the same issue. I have a Roomba model 980, which seems to be on the supported list. I have simply installed the Hombrige iRobot plug in and entered my email and password within the plug in (I have also tried retarting both Homebridge and the Roomba). I am getting the following outputs within my logs: Are there any other steps I can try to fix this? Thank you in advance. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Cloud | Issue #153 · 2022-09 |
