iRoomba iRobot Plugin

[GlennNZ]

An Elf delivering a i9 would be good! -but alas not likely (they are not actually realised here yet)

The room stuff is possible, but appears a bit clunky -

https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980/issues/82

Above posted, more for my future reference.

Basically need to refer to room by its roomba ID and use a userID as well. No way of getting these, except to wait and see if appear in commands send/received and then could save room references as they appear. (which plugin could do). Would mean would need to manually send clean room command to add that room to list of rooms plugin is aware of. A bit clunky - but probably still doable.

Still, would need a local i9 really given the clunkyness I suspect.

But best of luck with your Xmas!

Happy holiday - Just FYI - the room stuff is available on the i7 as well (that is the version I got, with the external bin). If you select clean from the start page you are sent to a second page to select Clean All - or - select individual rooms from the list of rooms defined in roomba.

The vacuum does a great job and having it integrated with indigo would allow me to cycle through various rooms to vacuum whenever I'm not home. If you need any info from me to help with any efforts -- just let me know, happy to help!!!

Hi,

Great to see this plugin, I'm trying to setup an i8 (Costco version of roomba). Read the thread and have tried many of the terminal commands, etc. Finally got the password into the plugin, but am now seeing the following in the log:

Seems to say I need to install install paho-mqtt. However in terminal, when I try to (re)install it, it seems to say it's already installed:

Code: Select all

Wonder if it's my botched installation or an i8 issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for the logs!

Would be interested in whether works or not, as not familiar with that model.

But the current issue appears to be a python version conflict - which can be tricky to resolve.

See Jay’s post here:

Thanks for the reply, Glenn,

That was the response I feared because I had seen the post you linked with Jay's statement (and your helpful instructions to uninstall / reinstall) python to remove the conflict, but was afraid that that process offered an opportunity to cause problems beyond my (very limited) abilities to recover - without resorting to a backup.

Recall installing Homebrew long ago, but don't know for which plugin - nor whether I'm still using the plugin, but don't want to accidentally break something that might be important to the current Indigo setup, which is running smoothly and reliably with features that our household now takes for granted.

Also, while Jay and Matt routinely say that they don't provide feature lists or underlying changes in forthcoming upgrades, there is this statement from Jay, which says they know they'll have to update Indigo to Python 3 at some point. Since Indigo 7.4 was released almost a year ago, seems like a good time to practice some patience. (or at least make sure the backup is in good shape if patience wains during the weekend )

Looks like a really cool plugin, and this generation of Roomba is so impressive compared some of the early versions I had tried where the puck randomly and forcefully bounced around the room.

[GlennNZ]

Thanks - I’ll have a look at i8...

I wouldn’t give up - you just need to install paho to the correct python install.

Perhaps would try:

From terminal window:

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/

Selecting Indigo’s python version directory.

& then..

python -m pip install paho-matt

In first instance... works on my testing...

Sorry
Thats a iPad typo/auto-correct
Should be paho-mqtt (as per instructions )

Wish I would have noticed that type. Oops.

Sorry, should have know would not have been so easy - otherwise Jay would have outlined it.

Looks like still running old Python with that install command despite being in correct directory.

Try

Code: Select all

which python  
/usr/bin/python -m pip install paho-mqtt

[eme jota ce]

Thanks for all the kind guidance!

Here's the response after typing the command in your last message:

Code: Select all

seahorseha@SeahamsMBPha ~ % which python
/usr/local/bin/python
seahorseha@SeahamsMBPha ~ % /usr/bin/python -m pip install paho-mqtt

Also tried: /usr/local/bin/python -m pip install paho-mqtt because now I'm just banging on buttons like a toddler in the control room and see

Really appreciate the advice so far and completely understand if this is the end of the line. Thanks!

[GlennNZ]

No problem, we’ll get there...

/usr/bin/python - is the correct one
The other /usr/bin/local/ is some other install that is grabbing focus as the default python install.

Try:

Code: Select all

curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

/usr/bin/python get-pip.py

Might need a sudo of front of either of those...

Then try pip command as above again...

Hopefully, I followed the last part correctly and input the right command.

Hi

Hmm.. the defaulting comment is interesting...

Maybe try:

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/bin/python get-pip.py

Note the sudo in front, and then need the ‘usr/bin/‘ in front of python command.
Still no promises unfortunately.....

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/python -m pip install paho-mqtt

Yes!!! That worked. Thank you, GlennNZ for the cool plugin and the patient guidance to through the Terminal commands. Could not have done it without you.

Just created a basic control page for this Plugin and look forward to integrating it into Indigo.
