I just got my Roomba i8+ (Costco version of i7+) and I'm having trouble setting up with iRobot-Roomba plugin version 0.6.8. I installed paho-mqtt with no problem but when I try to retrieve the password, it says "Error getting password. Follow the instructions and try again."
Actually, I was able to retrieve the password once but then got the status "communication error" and could not execute any command. When I tried to set up the device again, I could not get the password.
The odd thing is that the device does return a bunch of status info when I try to get the password, including the robot name, robot id and much more.
The log also says "File should equal:/Users/<username>/Documents/Indigo-iRobotRoomba/<ip address>-config.ini" I see no such file in that directory, even after the one time I successfully got the password. Should this file be created automatically or is it something I'm supposed to create and edit?
I don't know if it matters, but my Documents folder is synced on iCloud and so is invisible in the Finder. When I show invisible files, it is indeed there.
TIA for any help you can provide.
