Dreame X40 vacuum robot

I’ve been really happy with my Homey Pro, but I recently encountered an issue. I purchased a Dreame X40 vacuum robot, assuming it would integrate seamlessly with Homey since it’s one of the fastest-growing and best vacuum robots on the market. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to integrate it.

Does anyone know if there’s a solution or workaround to get the Dreame X40 connected with Homey? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello and welcome to the Homey forum!

That’s very personal and region dependent imho. I’ve never heard of Dreame.

Don’t ever assume things with Homey → Check the app store if a brand/model is supported, else you can

  1. request for support here
    No one requested Dreame yet :man_shrugging:

  2. Or request for support here, but here also no one requested Dreame:
    Search results for 'Dreame' - Homey Community Forum

Except for Matter enabled devices, (most) supported functions (should) work without an app.
And for zigbee & z-wave enabled devices is very basic support for lights, switches/plugs, like OnOff & dim

Workaround could have been Home assistant, it supports Dreame, but not the X40 model:

I’ve teamed up both Homey and HA, because HA supports more devices and in general new devices are much quicker supported.

Thanks all for the feedback & help. I will request the app and will also look into suggestion by @Peter_Kawa on integrating Home Assistant.

Hi

I also have a dreame bot (can’t remember the version) and agree that it is a really great vacuum cleaner and can also agree that you always have to check first if the product is supported.

But I could easily integrate it with a simple an cheap Amazon Alexa dot. You install the Dreamehome skill and then you can manage the dreame with the skill and the flows.

Hallo,
Can you explain how you did this?
I also have a dreame l10s , i can connect it to alexa but i can not connect it in homey to use it in flows

I’m, curious in the integraion too. As I’m finalising review of different robot vacuums.

Does the Xiaomi Mi Home App for Homey | Homey not work for Dreame robots?

It seems that Dreametech has renamed to Dreame.

The developer has a page for you to request an update to this app.

Yes, you would need to use the Xiami Mi Home app to control your Dreame X40 robot. However that specific device is still not listed as officially supported:

For now you can only pair them if you know the IP (which I did) and you are able to get the necessarry token to actually connect to the device (which I failed to do for now). I will let you know if I succeed during the weekend.

@Lars_Zobbe Did you manage to solve this?

No sorry. I can’t seem to find time for anything these days :wink:

Is this still in development? Can’t find it anywhere.

Yes, it’s in development. For now, I will create a simple integration because it takes a lot of time. I’m doing reverse engineering and have set up a proxy to capture requests between the robot and the Dreame app. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the Dreame specifications on https://home.miot-spec.com

And please support for the L600

Its on HA but doesnt work for me

Super! Great to hear. Thank you for your time.

Can you also make a integration for the Dreame L20 Ultra?

I have found another workaround using Alexa as the trigger. For this I used the Amazon Echo App by Stefan Schweiger.

I created a flow that lets Homey tell Alexa a command to “start Robot” and another to “end robot”.

For now I have not found any other control options than start and stop but I will keep on trying! :+1:t2:

[/quote] You should, if you prefer to have your floor clean rather than automated. Acording to Vacuum Wars which has been evaluating these machines since they ever existed, the new X40 is almost perfect. As for myself, I go with the clean floors, those Roborocks and roombas are thrash… :grimacing:
