Feature Request: advanced features (re: Amazon buys iRobot) #143

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

The underlying library Dorita980 supports most of the remaining functions of the roomba which are exposed in the irobot. These are things like Power Boost, Edge clean, etc… and other depending on the model.

Given that Amazon has announced they are purchasing iRobot, and primarily for the data, I imagine myself and many users would like to totally keep roomba control local. This is possible today, but you do lose these advanced features.

Describe the solution you'd like:

Use custom characteristics to expose the advanced features to HomeKit.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

No response

Additional context:

These custom characteristics aren’t exposed in the main Home app, but can be controlled in apps like Eve or Controller, and set it saved in scenes. I understand these features aren’t used very often, but rounding out the experience would make it completely local for all features.

When I finally get enough time to finish up plug-in version 2.0.0 those were one of the things I was going to add

Stay Tuned to the latest beta features as this will be added within the next couple of months. (Whenever I get a chance). npm
