100%. I just built my own fastapi web service referencing the HA library (python-roborock). With just a few lines of code I can now send REST API calls (from Homey flows) to a locally hosted web service, which forwards the calls using MQTT to my S8 Pro Ultra, while still being connected to the Roborock app. Works flawlessly for my needs.
If I knew the first ting about building js or Homey apps, I would cobble something together. Unfortunately I dont, so i cant 
Hello guys,
I’ve quickly drafted an app based on the Roborock API, it seems to work for my devices at first sight.
Currently features are fairly limited: reading out battery and cleaning stats, and the ability to start a full clean, empty dust bin and wash the mop.
I’ve submitted it for certification towards Homey.
If successful, I’ll open a seperate topic for it, expand the app further and publish the source code for everyone.
Kind regards,
Very nice 
looking forward to test it!
Any progress? im interested in testing
Hello,
I did some further PoC’ing locally to expand the functionality further, this should allow me to step up quickly with new features.
I’m however hesitant to spend too much time on it now, until Homey officially gives the go for this app. This just to avoid that I do work which nobody can use afterwards.
Please be aware that the initial review process takes approx 2 weeks.
Kind regards,
Abe, do you have a chance to speed up the process?
Some wishes for features down the road:
I’ve created a new topic, to prevent hijacking this one.
Please submit your feedback inside that topic:
Currently supported:
More features will be developed after approval from Homey.
