Automate the cleaning of the selected room

[menfis911]

Hey, everybody!
I would like to thank for this development, very nice thanks.
But I have a question, I do not quite understand how to run in the automation that the robot would clean in a particular room, can anyone advise?
Problems with unloading rooms no, everything works.

Answer to this question depends on the integration that you use to control the vacuum and vacuum model.

Hi @menfis911 ,
I have a buttons for cleaning specific room. You need find a numbers for rooms.
Method 1 is to get it from the cloud, but I couldn't do that.
Method 2 is to use a command and try the numbers one by one. In my case it only worked from number 16.
I have this command in scripts, 1 script for each room. What I have in the script, you can have in automation.

alias: Clean Living Room
sequence:
  - action: xiaomi_miio.vacuum_clean_segment
    target:
      device_id: f2ce46d3e5cac66fca93cbdce6bbeebd
    data:
      segments: 18
description: ""

As you see, in my example for one specific room is number 18. In my case, I have more scripts, named as "clean_living_room" or others, with range from 16 to 26. In your case may be numbers in other range.

Hi @proasnet
And can you elaborate more on how to make a script and automation on it. I have installed another integration where there is a parameter segments, but I can't understand how to make a script and a button for it, thank you

[proasnet]

You can made a new script in an Settings/Automations and scenes/Scripts, create new and use upper code from me. Edit alias and segments number. You must find a number for each room.
Then, you can add to your lovelace entity card, add entity as scene script. This create a button in the card.

[menfis911]

scene I created, but I really don't understand exactly how to do it: "Then, you can add to your lovelace entity card, add entity as scene script."

[menfis911]

can you give me your card's config?

[menfis911]

Hi all
I have integration via xiaomi miot auto, and there is no such thing as segments there

[proasnet]

You need Xiaomi Miio from HACS, not miot auto.

[menfis911]

but there's no such thing

[proasnet]

You're right, I don't see it in HACS at the moment either. I don't see anything in it, no add-ons that I have installed, maybe it's a bug. I only see a few add-ons in the News section, but nothing else. Try waiting and trying.
I installed it about 1 month ago, everything worked in HACS.

[menfis911]

can you give me a link to this add-on from HACS? so I can try to put it in manually.

[proasnet]

Its from here

"The device model is not known, you cannot add this device using the setup wizard."

:(((

[proasnet]

Today is the second HACS update, after updating HACS and restarting HA I can see the repositories again.
But, I was wrong. It's not from HACS.
The installation was from Integrations. I am sorry.

[menfis911]

Yes, I've got the installation sorted out, I've installed the integration, but it won't initialise my hoover, it says it doesn't know that :((((

[proasnet]

Does your name and password work? Try switching cloud origin, e.g. CN, RU, DE, I2, SG, US...
It didn't work for me at first, then it suddenly worked.

[menfis911]

The password and the rest is correct, because the integration sees the right device, but when adding it writes:
"The device model is not known, you cannot add this device using the setup wizard."

[proasnet]

Oh, you can request to add a model. It's probably not compatible yet.

[menfis911]

I don't really understand how to do it ? ))))
