Roomba

Really, 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. On Mar 24, 2022, at 10:48 AM, …

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 …

I use homebridge-iRobot (via homebridge) and it’s rock solid and super fast.

I use homebridge-roomba2 with my Roomba i7 series. Works fine for "hey siri, start/stop the roomba". Shows unresponsive most of the time when it's not running, but it doesn't affect the rest of homebridge. Capable of flipping a virtual switch while it's running or while it's charging, etc. Currently not capable of per-room commands, but it's possible using the API/SDK being employed by the plugin, and the dev said it's a future possibility.

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.
