Try: IF statis has changed THEN Push message logic variable STATUS Whats happening? And please think off the set polling frequency, which is probably 60 seconds? If yes, you receive a push every 60 seconds WHEN status has changed. It should give a push ‘room-cleaning’ or ‘zone-cleaning’. ---

In the back of my mind I remember that I had this same issue with the old Ciaomi Home app and my old S5. It had something to do with the coordinates, when they’re wrong the robot is starting a regular cleaning program instead of saying ‘I can not reach the target’. I will start puzzling this evening and let go of the room cleanup for a while ---

1. Tried trigger card “status has changed”. It doesn’t trigger at all. The status in the roborock device in Homey is changing to cleaning when cleaning is started, but it changes to stopped if room cleaning is started and the flow is not triggered. 2. Tried remove/adding the device again. Didn’t change anything. 3. Tried uninstall/reinstall the app and add the device again. Didn’t change anything. 4. Starting, stopping and docking work controlled from the homey roborock device 5. Though the roborock status variable is changing and it is “stopped” when the vacuum is in room cleaning mode. Vacuum S5max and app 1.3.2 ---

How important is the zone cleaning by coordinates? Isn’t it way more useful to build a “room cleaning” functionality that enables you to start cleaning a room with a flow? And setting up rooms in the Xiaomi app? ---

So, logging never occurs whatever status change (cleaning, docked, stopped) Flow 2: IF the status has changed to … docked THEN Log papertrail Vaccum Cleaner status: [variable VACUUM CLEANER STATUS] Log papertrail stofzuiger Aan. Status [variable STATUS] This Flow 2 does trigger. Output that is logged: |2021-07-22 03:22.18||Vaccum cleaner status: docked |2021-07-22 03:22.19||Stofzuiger Aan. Status: [[status]] Apparently the variable VACUUM CLEANER STATUS is filled, but the variable STATUS remains empty. Version 1.3.2, Roborock S6 Seems a similar problem as @peltsi51 reported?

For me the room cleaning functionality is preferred above zone-cleaning. The latter is too laborious for me. Regards, Paul ---

Sounds like a similar problem indeed. I will try and reproduce this and come up with a fix. ---

Is it possible to get the token on a phone or is that not possible I gues with the old app there’s is an modded xiaomi home app where you can see the token ---

That’s a first for me, a modded app to see the token. Maybe with a Android app, as Apple user I am used to everything being boxed and no way to enter such information. As far as I know you can only find the tokens through a computer. I posted two ways of doing soo above, for Windows and Mac. ---

> [@Justin](#): > > How important is the zone cleaning by coordinates? Isn’t it way more useful to build a “room cleaning” functionality that enables you to start cleaning a room with a flow? And setting up rooms in the Xiaomi app? I agree! I think Room cleaning is more useful than Zone cleaning in Homey. So if you have to prioritize I vote for Room cleaning. I am so happy with Move to target. Homey starts full clean if everyone leaves the house. When vaccum is fully charged it moves to a place close to trash bin. I just arrived and we were all smiling when it waited to me emptied. 🙂 ---

But how does he do that? Since you have to link the device using a token. I can spit out the token as well, but you need a token to spit out the token? ---

These are my test results. Indeed, other models than the S7 are not functioning with the “If the status has changed” trigger.

Yes me too. Room cleaning is preferred. I’m waiting on the side line until room cleaning is available in this new app. Currently I have some ZigBee issues that has priority in my household. ---

I think it’s clear that you all want room cleanup to work first. I will roll back the zone cleanup by coordinates (since it’s not working as it should) and focus on this later on. Next release has priority for room cleanup and the status has changed flow card. Thank you all. ---

Well that was a fast one… Haha! The status card is already fixed, I found the issue. I always triggered the S7 model instead of the right model that has been chosen as device. I can not test a stable version right now since i’m not home but I will test this bug this evening. If it works, I will patch this first before heading to the room cleanup.
