Near Alkmaar here šŸ˜‰ Yes it is a pretty oldskool wifi chip as I discovered. I just checked again, itā€™s still online now. As they describe, it goes only in hybernation when not docked, to prevent battery exhaustion. Polling canā€™t hurt, Iā€™m very excited to try v0.7.0. Thanx again! ---

success! Deebot Slim 2 is now recognised after removing and re-adding to the app. cleaning/docked/charging/etc seem to work through Homey as well. will test a couple of flows and report back. thanks for your hard work so far! ---

Update 2: Ecovacs app says Deebot offline, Homey ā€œstart Deebotā€ command works anyway šŸ„° šŸ˜ šŸ™ƒ Update: forgot to mention the Battery monitor also works! **Superb!** My Deebot Slim 2 is working like a charm! And, it was still online, so itā€™s 100% OK and functional. Even the ā€œspot cleanā€ function works. No need to remove and add device again, I just installed the new version. Let me buy you a beer! Do you have a link for me? Cheers, Peter ---

Great to hear itā€™s working! Iā€™ll do a few more days of testing and adding features, planning to release 1.0.0 at the start of next week. Feel free to buy me a coffee or beer!

What does the spot cleaning do exactly? ---

Depends on the model. Currently, only ā€œspot cleaningā€ is supported, which cleans an area around where the robot is (1x1m for example). The second mode is ā€œspot area cleaningā€, where the robot cleans an area that was defined in the app (for example ā€œLiving roomā€). Thatā€™s only supported by the newer models, though. ---

I have the T8 aivi, but doesnā€™t show up area. Would think thatā€™s one of the newest šŸ¤” Edit : I might have read that wrong. It isnā€™t in the app yet, or it isnā€™t supported at all? ---

Thatā€™s a planned feature for the app, it will require custom flows cards. I have the same device, so will be able to test it well before releasing. šŸ™‚ ---

Amazon Alexa supports Pausing and resuming of Ecovacs. I suppose that those commands should be available through the API, and I am thinking that maybe the info can be extracted from. Alexa somehow if Ecovacs are claiming otherwise. Pause and resume are very valuable for flows. (I think you wrote that they were not available through the API and I wanted to find ways around. Please donā€™t flame me if I got it all wrong.) šŸ™‚ ---

I have quite a simple Deebot, as Pause I send Stop and as Resume I send ā€˜Go cleaningā€™ (flow) commands. In your case, probably a stop command resets the %cleaned status I guess? Mine just drives around the room as a headless chicken šŸ˜‰ it does only log the hours it cleaned. ---

Pause and resume are available through the API, but not supported in the default vacuum\_cleaner capability that Athom provides. However, Iā€™ve created flow cards (actions) for these 2 commands and they will be included in the next release. Both ā€œpauseā€ and ā€œresumeā€ should work on older devices too. ---

Thank you very much for this. I am looking forward to it. I am hoping to replace using the Ecovacs app for doing the scheduling, and put it in Homey instead, so pause, resume, and telling it to clean certain rooms, (Yes, Ecovacs ā€œdefault namingā€ of the rooms leaves a bit to be desired.) would be very valuable. Again, thank you for the great work. ---

Iā€™m currently having an issue with my homey where it wonā€™t connect to wifi anymore, so canā€™t test my changes at the moment. Itā€™s a 2016 model, so Iā€™m upgrading to a pro soon - will keep you all updated! ---
