Viomi S9 robot vacuum integration

[bfg100k]

So I’ve got a Viomi S9 robot vacuum and while I’m happy with its own app interface and notifications, I figured I can get even more out of it via integration with HA. After a couple of months of playing around, here’s what I’ve managed to achieve.

1.Ditch the mihome app as I have (almost) complete control and visibility of the vacuum via HA mobile app.
a) mobile vacuum dashboard

b) Changing clean type to rooms, zone or point

c) Changing clean mode to vacuum, vacuum & mop or just mop

d) Changing vacuum and mop options (relevant options are shown depending on clean mode)

2. Advanced mobile (and watch!) notifications

a) Summary of stats upon job completion including map screenshot (so I can see if the vac missed any area)

b) Daily vacuum reminder - sent at 1pm only if I haven’t run the vacuum in the morning (bonus - I can start the cleaning right from the notification!)

3. Given that the HA dasboard is accessible via web, I now have full control and visibility of the vacuum on my desktop (unlike the native Viomi interface which is app only)

4. I own a Google Nest Hub which is also integrated with HA so I can now access the same UI on it too instead of the default basic vacuum UI. I have also created an automation helper that will cast the vacuum dashboard to the Nest Hub (if its not playing other media) every time a cleaning job starts so I can monitor the cleaning process.

5. Speaking of automation, I also have an automation helper that will change the clean mode (i.e. vacuum or mop) automatically when the mop pad is physically installed/removed. IMHO, this is the most useful feature out of all the above as I can simply install/remove the pad and say “Hey Google, start the vacuum” knowing that the right job will run! (Before this, I almost always forget to change the mode in the app before hitting the start button)

Looks great! Could you share your configs?

[bfg100k]

Yep sure. Have uploaded my config and scripts here

Hi bfg100k,

I was looking at your scripts and try to modifi them to use with a roborock s1 and i have run a snag.
In your comment of the Viomi S9 0 job complete and device error notifications you say the following: V2 uses the MihomeMessageSensor entity for triggering notifications which appears to be quicker and more accurate.

i cant find that specific entity nor i cant find in HACS.
where did you get this? because i can see you use it in your automation i think: sensor.mi_1838149435_message is the entity?

This sensor is automatically created by the Xiaomi MIOT Auto integration. Which backend integration are you using?

[YOYONL89]

I use the same backend components as you do.
In the Xiaomi MIOT Auto integration i have even enabled the cloud option.

It could be that the vacuum is to old/has different firmware which does not expose it.

The entity with the most info is:
vacuum.roborock_m1s_1efc_robot_cleaner

As you can see I can get the error codes out but the message attribute is not present.
Maybe I just have to get something around this

I believe this sensor is tied to your xiaomi account and not your device so you should have it as long as the integration is setup correctly. FYI I have a couple of xiaomi devices connected to HA but only have 1 message sensor.
