iRobot Indigo 2023.2 API 3.4 New Version

Hi

Announcing a new version which removes any need for terminal command and library downloads *(previous pip3 install paho-mqtt) given Indigo 2023.2 supports this natively.

Only supports Indigo 2023.2+ API 3.4

Other changes:

Actually pretty minimal!

Hi Glenn. First of all, thank you for providing and supporting this plugin.

I did just upgrade MacOS to 14.3.1 Sonoma and also Indigo to 2023.2.0. I noticed several plugins were needing to be updated, so I did.

I ran across this error in the Indigo log related to the iRobot plugin after I updated it.

I'm not quite sure what to do about this, and would appreciate any guidance you could provide.

Thanks again

Hi

I think I can see what the error is - and it is on me for not specifying the version of paho-mqtt.

There has been a paho-mqtt release in last 2 days which presumably has breaking changes.

Will need to update the plugin to fix.

Sorry!

Try

https://github.com/Ghawken/Indigo-iRobo ... tag/0.9.36

Somewhat of a remote fix on a Windows PC - so hopefully works okay.

Thanks

That seems to have resolved it.

Thank you for the quick fix on that one, and for the great plugin.

Hi Glenn.
First of all, thanks for this great plugin. I've been using it for years.
I’m running Indigo 2023.2, iRobot-Roomba v0.9.37 and a Roomba i7+.
Recently changed the iMac and reinstalled everything.
Re-configured my Roomba device on Indigo, got password, got robot and map info from the API. No errors at all.
Basic functions such as start, pause, stop, resume, dock, empty bin, etc., kept working perfectly.
But when I tried to create a new action group to clean jus one room ("Celan specific Room/Areas" > Roomba > Edit action settings...") no room or area appeared listed in the selection dialog window.
Of course when tried to run the action group, the plugin asked me to select a room/area, but still none appear in the list to chose from.
Any help will be appreciated.
By the way, how can the mapping data been used?
Thanks in advance.

Hi

Unfortunately somewhere along the way iRobot via their Amazon cloud account has removed access to the mapping data. Currently get a AWS access error in place of data. The data files previously downloaded now contain an error - about lacking access to this information.

This leaves us a bit stuck. You might be able to copy the mapping json file from old Mac to New (if working on that mac fairly recently)

The code aspects, all remain there, just hoping that access will return - unfortunately it hasn’t as yet.

A work around - is to run the desired command on the iroomba,and then use action group save Last command. This saves the last command run and repeats it whenever the action group is called. This way can manually create Room or complicated cleaning schedule actions.

** Update

Although leave it with me:

Nothing a bit of Proxy snooping can't hopefully figure out... have sorted out some of the connections changes, believe will have this working again pretty soon...

See here!

You are a genius!!
Works like a charm with my Roomba i7+.
Thanks again.
