I’m looking for one that can:
- Run without any internet access (including during setup).
- Can be controlled over LAN via HomeAssistant.
- Mop.
5GHz wifi support and multiple floor capability would be a big bonus, but not a deal-breaker.
Basically, I’d like to get one, and see how I get on with it.
I’m happy to get something old/budget, to help me work out what I want in a “forever” vacuum.
Happy to buy second hand, and happy to flash/jtag/hack, so long as the procedures are reliable.
Definitely go with valetudo, they have a good robot buying guide for 0-cloud vacuums. No flashing needed, but you may need to do some SSH. Only downside I think is that valetudo doesn’t support multiple floors.
Like multiple types of flooring or multiple rooms or multiple levels?
Multiple levels as in it wont work for my upstairs and downstairs.
The software is only designed for one map
Thanks for clarifying. It should work for me then, I’ll have to give it a try
