Roomba 980 Scripts

[Bollar]

The "NotReady" codes don't appear to be documented anywhere, but they have important info. I don't know if these are some binary code like the flags are, but I have found:

7 - bin missing
15 - (is possibly) low battery
16 - bin full

It's interesting that when the bin is full, Roomba just goes and parks itself without giving a warning. Seems like a design flaw (that I have now fixed by sending a message when that happens).

The plugin is pretty much done, based on the code you posted. My new Roomba will be here tomorrow so I can start testing.

Great - I look forward to seeing it.

Someone might find this list of error codes helpful. They appear to be accompanied by a Phase: Stuck variable.

Code: Select all

roombaError = str(indigo.variables['roombaError'].value)

if roombaError == '0':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('0: No Error'))
elif roombaError == '1':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('1: Place Roomba on a flat surface then press CLEAN to restart.'))
elif roombaError == '2':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('2: Clear Roombas debris extractors, then press CLEAN to restart.'))
elif roombaError == '5':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('5: Left/Right. Clear Roombas wheel, then press CLEAN to restart.”'))
elif roombaError == '6':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('6: Move Roomba to a new location then press CLEAN to restart. The cliff sensors are dirty, it is hanging over a drop, or it is stuck on a dark surface.'))
elif roombaError == '8':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('8: The fan is stuck or its filter is clogged.'))
elif roombaError == '9':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('9: Tap Roombas bumper, then press CLEAN to restart.'))
elif roombaError == '10':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('10: The left or right wheel is not moving.'))
elif roombaError == '11':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('11: Roomba has an internal error.'))
elif roombaError == '14':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('14: Re-install Roomba’s bin then press CLEAN to restart. The bin has a bad connection to the robot.'))
elif roombaError == '15':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('15: Press CLEAN to restart. Roomba has an internal error'))
elif roombaError == '16':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('16: Place Roomba on a flat surface then press CLEAN to restart. Roomba has started while moving or at an angle, or was bumped while running.'))
elif roombaError == '17':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('17: The cleaning job is incomplete.'))
elif roombaError == '18':
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('18: Roomba cannot return to the Home Base or starting position.'))
else:
	indigo.variable.updateValue('roombaErrorText', value=str('xx: Undocumented Error.'))

Roomba arrived a couple hours ago. I can successfully retrieve the password and blid, but that's as far as I've gotten so far. Need to make dinner soon.

Thanks for the ongoing work on this - following with interest!

I can successfully retrieve the password and blid...

Hopefully using my script!

[FlyingDiver]

Well, a derivative of your script.

Roomba plugin is ready for brave testers.

Well, the Roomba didn't pass the wife test, so it was returned on the 30th day. We'll try again in a couple of years.

Really? We like our 980 a lot. But then we've used an 880 for almost a year now.
