When switching to homey it looked like setting up my vacuum cleaner would be easy breezy. However, it doesnt work quite. I installed the Neato botvac app and connected the vacum. The only issue seems to be, I cant start it. Which was generaly the whole point of hooking it up to the system. Anyone had this issue and know how to resolve it? It seems I can start it in spotcleaning mode but not the normal mode. ---

I use this app: [Neato BotVac App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.neatorobotics/Neato-BotVac/) With this settings: ![IMG_5601](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/e/ae2f8d91448a6424162990ef6e55c20cb1dc4518.png) Works fine. If not contact the Developer, he normaly response quite quickly. ---

Did some extra tinkering. Seems it was the settings as you mentioned. My botvac isnt quite advanced enough to do fancy no go lines and extra care. Set it to normal and no. Now it works! 🙂
