I could not find any Eufy support for Homey. Is there any possible workaround to connect the smart robovac or Eufy cameras to Homey? I would really love some kind of flow so that when I leave the house the robovac would start automatically.
When you have Amazon Alexa devices; you can make a workaround with the (beta) app of Amazon Alexa:
First I made a routine in the Alexa app which triggers my Robovac to start cleaning. After that I created a flow in Homey; when I push a smart button -> the Alexa routine will be triggered. Works pretty good, when l press the button the Robovac actually starts cleaning. In this way it should also be possible to make a flow based on presence I guess.
Only disadvantage is that I can only trigger the Robovac on or off via Alexa. It cannot be triggered to go back to the charging base. Anyhow, this is not a major problem since the Robovac goes back automatically when the battery is almost empty.
this is a great solution. I’ve Alexa devices so I’ll try to make it work as you suggested. Thank you for the info! Anyways, do we know the reason why Eufy is not supported in Homey?
Good to hear!
Think there isn’t a developer who looked into Eufy-Homey connection (yet). I’m not a developer but perhaps you can find someone via App requests on this forum.
I’d also like a native Homey app for Eufy devices. They’re a perfict fit for none-cloud and none-subscription lovers. I really hope Athom will stepp-up and bring this to us soon.
Hi @martijnpoppen, I just signed up in the hope that you can help me with my robovac but can’t find a way to DM you directly. Please advise how I can do that. Alex.
