Thats strange. Are the Roomba and your Homey on the same subnet in your wifi?

If you run homey v5 you can try the updated sdk 3 version. If not im afraid you have to wait. ☹

</div>

Still no luck… when the roomba is started from a schedule in the roomba app, or is started in the roomba app, the status in the homey app is not updated. So now i can not use the roomba status to turn on the lights. Is there anything i can do to make this work?

Is there any update?  
I can add my roomba i7+, but it doesn’t update the status of the Irobot at all.

Any news here? I also have a S9+ and a Brava M6. I recently updated to fm5.0 and could connect the M6, but it’s not working (lose connection and no status update). The S9+ couldn’t connect at all. These are the only devices missing in Homey in my current set-up. Would love a working app update.

I wanted to use this iRobot app for my S9 and M6, connect to the device works.  
But the problem with the status update persists.  
My robot starts → status remains “is loading”.

I have now currently solved this via IFTT together with a Virtual Contact Sensor.
