Password Problems with j7+

Hi

Try 0.9.4 in GitHub.
https://github.com/Ghawken/Indigo-iRobotRoomba
Adds a few things, particularly useful if more than one iroomba.

I’ll release soon/now to the plugin store and then work on the j7+ cloud password stuff.

(I always finalise, and then test for a while on both systems before happy to ‘release’ - then often forget to release because all working well on my end)

Question:
Room Cleaning
Yes.

The issue is however than the rooms are renamed and recoded whenever there is particularly manual map updates. They aren’t named with the iroomba itself only on the cloud it would appear. The J7+ cloud api access may enable a change to the below approach but certainly not yet.

Currently:
The “save last command run” is the way around this.
Once mapping runs completed, named, no-go zones etc setup.
Within the app create a favourite of room or rooms.
Start this favourite on iroomba.

Then use Action Group Save Last Command run:

Create Action Group, select iroomba Save Last Command.
Select iroomba, then press Get Last Command.

This will retrieve the last command run, saves it so that the action group will replay it whenever this action group is run.
Rename the action group - and whenever run will be the saved last command.
Repeat as needed for room selection.

Can also use this for other commands, or future commands not supported currently.

J7+ Password issues:

Try version 0.9.5
https://github.com/Ghawken/Indigo-iRobotRoomba

Enables using iRobot Cloud account to retrieve password information
Seems this is the only supported way for J7+ (other than sniffing the info)
Also works well for other models and actually a lot easier. No timing of button presses.

Give it a try and report back.


The iRobot API access also enables Mapping data and ID's to be obtained.
Would seem straight-forward to pull names of maps and sort out finally Room by Room mapping.
Will have a look into that next.

Ok. Here is 0.9.9 (getting close to a 1.0.0 release I think...)

0.9.9

Add ability to download from iRobot Cloud mapping info & Data and also use this connection to retrieve all password info for iRoomba devices.

This now also - Enables room/Room area cleaning based on this downloaded map data

Enables the addition for a new ActionGroup - clean specific rooms:

Here:



Change some logging, config screens to better show info

NB: the iRobot Cloud connection:
Is only used for Password once/when selected and then is locally saved as before.
& it is used for downloading mapping data when button pressed once.
No ongoing Cloud connection needed. No other connection made.
So can download maps/info and then disable iCloud, delete info if prefer - should all still work; including room selection etc..

If maps are updated, new regions etc added - likely will need to redownload map data via the lower button.




Earlier: 0.9.5
Add ability to retrieve individual iroomba Password from IRoomba Cloud API
Needed for J7+ it would seem, and simplifies other's as well.
New Get Password info within with Device Tab

Let me know how you go!
