iRobot Roomba j7/j7+

I'm running a Roomba j7+ Combo and had issues with getting the password using the Setup instructions in v1.5.0-beta.4. There's only one button on the j7 models, pressing it reboots the machine or empties the bin so button press is not needed. Just make sure it's on the dock and run `npm run getpassword ` command to fetch the blid and you'll get: `Error getting password. Follow the instructions and try again.` https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980/issues/142 solved my issue of getting the password from the cloud by running: `npm install -g dorita980` and then `get-roomba-password-cloud ` (make …

homebridge-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). Plugin Information This …

I have the J7 and HomeKit doesn’t support vacuums right now so all of the homebridge plug-ins for Roomba are kind of janky. The plug-in you mention can do room by room cleaning but every room shows up as a switch and your J7 shows up as a fan. You have to turn on a switch (room) and then turn on the fan (vacuum) before it will navigate to the room and start vacuuming. In my opinion the iRobot app is much easier to use right now and I would wait until HomeKit adds vacuum support (if that ever happens).

I have the same problem. I was able to get my J7+ to work initially but as soon as I added a second Roomba (i4) to my account I was no longer able to connect to my J7+ from HomeBridge.

I just tried this, but it didn't work. I first did the Remove Single Cached Accessory in Homebridge, but when looking at the iRobot plugin it was still showing there so I deleted it there as well (Homebridge iRobot > Settings > Devices > Delete Button). After that, I restarted Homebridge and observed that the misidentified device (j7+) was not there, but my other robot (m6) was. I then used Homebridge iRobot > Settings > Devices > Add Button to get to the page where I supply my iRobot account email/password. That got me back to having the j7+ in the lineup, but I'm still getting this message …
