@DiGiSoUL84 thanks for this update. If they have official channels you can get us plugged into we’re happy to do a re-implementation in whatever way works best for them.

To my knowledge there is still no local support for the Vacs even via HomeKit but if they have methods that they would like us to use then I’m happy to chat with them directly and have us do the heavy lifting of implementation so we don’t burden them unnecessarily.

To that end, if they do have plans to implement HomeKit (which is strictly local) my stance is the best course of action would be to retire this integration in favor of something that doesn’t depend on their cloud services - my guess is that would be their preference as well.

The current maintainers of the integration are not the people who originally wrote it - so I’d like to do a fresh implementation anyway if SharkNinja would be willing to work with us on it.

[DiGiSoUL84]

Soon as I have more information I'll pass it forward

[DiGiSoUL84]

No it won't let you schedule room cleans just the whole home and you only schedule 1 clean per day.

Does the beta Android app support scheduling beyond running a clean over the entire house (i.e., room-specific cleaning)?

That has been missing as a feature forever. The iPhone app has supported scheduling for cleaning the entire house for a long time too.

Just as a note, as of about three weeks ago, the Google home skill for SharkClean stopped working with room-specific cleaning voice commands. It appears to me that they have conflated the phrases in a command that are intended to target specific rooms with the home app’s own logic to determine which Google-home-assigned room a device is located in.

So, until there is a way to workaround all these issues, there is no way to schedule room-specific cleaning. I got it working in my own customized version of the HA SharkClean integration. That broke. Had to fallback to Google home voice commands. That broke.

Perhaps the beta app is offering some new hope to support this feature?

@JeffResc https://github.com/JeffResc @funkybunch https://github.com/funkybunch As of last night (10/24) I am participating in a beta test of SharkNinja's latest version of their Android app. I had to delete the current app and download/install the beta app that was sent to me.

That's exactly what the app does now, btw.

So I found this https://github.com/rewardone/ayla-iot-unofficial/tree/main/src/ayla_iot_unofficial. It's based off the sharkiq repo but has some changes in how it accesses the Ayla api (if I'm reading it correctly). It's most recent update was 3 weeks ago. Could this possibly help with our situation?

Is there any hope of this being fixed/resolved? I don't know the process for trying to engage with someone who can fix this.

[craig0r]

There's very little hope, I would think. It seems to be intentional that SharkIQ have cut off access to their API to anyone but Google, Amazon, and Apple. So someone would need to convince them to give access to Home Assistant, and that's gonna be an uphill battle.

Just wanted to say I appreciate all of you and this thread. Have HA and am buying 4 robot vacuums (1 per floor, 1 for garage) and it will 100% not be Sharks. They are smart to not want folks to buy their products.

Here's the thing, the sharks are good vacuums at decent prices. I bought my third the week before this integration went down. Broke some automations and some actionable notifications, but nothing life changing. In the end the vacuums are automated through the shark app, and if I need to run anything custom, it's just as fast to open the shark app as it is to open the home assistant app. So, yes... It's frustrating that I can't include them, especially when I used to be able to, but it's not really a deal breaker.

[tombrant]

For me the deal breaker is not being able to schedule room-specific cleanings.  With this HA integration breaking change and the fact that Google home has recently lost the ability to send a room target to the shark in a voice command or routine there’s no way I’m aware of to get that functionality to work.  Sent from my iPhoneOn Nov 2, 2024, at 4:29 PM, Leeshtc @.***> wrote: Hers the thing, the sharks are good vacuums at decent prices.

Maybe you need to adjust the commands you're using with Google, because mine still works just fine. Here is the "okGoogle" command from one of my Home automations:

Start main vacuum in dining room

Works like a charm.

[tombrant]

The same worked for me (with Google assistant) until about a month ago when it started failing with the message:“Sorry, it looks like that device hasn't been set up yet. You can do that in Assistant settings”It is set up fine.  If I leave out the room designation it works fine.  Strange that you don’t get the same behavior.On Nov 2, 2024, at 5:11 PM, Craig @.***> wrote:

I'm using the custom Google Assistant SDK to parse the data coming back but the integration with Google Assistant is still working fantastic. Both on the default google assistant sdk and the custom one. This is my script I built to be able to schedule different days and regions and control other commands. I use automation to trigger other events based on a 5 min loop that queries google sdk for the vacuum state. It's working well even though we lost the direct integration. If you have any questions maybe I'll do a write up somewhere, but ultimately it works well.

I’m beginning to wonder if the issue I am running into with Google assistant/Home is really a problem that is specific to my model or firmware on the vacuum. For me, everything works fine until I add a phrase that identifies a target room for cleaning. Then, it’s simply doesn’t work. Can you tell me the firmware and model number of your vacuum? Also, is there a way to get any logs or details about the interaction between Google Home and the SharkClean skill cloud service?

I don't actually use the room commands, I need to clean everything. lol However just to confirm you have rooms labeled correctly in the app. No strange characters or trailing spaces.

The only way I can get shark to work is with Alexa. Unfortunately it is broken with home assistant for me.

The only way I can get shark to work is with Alexa. Unfortunately it is broken with home assistant for me.

I just tried Alexa and got room-specific cleaning to work, but

1. It sets matrix cleaning mode on unconditionally
2. I had to rename all my rooms so that they use single-word names or the room targeting was ignored and a full house clean initiated

Anyone know if there is a workaround for #1

Is Alexa Media player the only or best way to send Alexa voice commands from within Home Assistant?

[Ithrial]

I'm having similar issues though I think its on the shark's side. I tried logging out and logging back into the shark app and I'm unable to log in even after changing passwords

I haven’t tried this with Alexa Mediaplayer inside HA, but here’s the routine syntax I use inside an Alexa routine. Note that I had to shorten the room name to ‘Laundry’ from ‘Laundry Room’

I tried with your command for Alexa and Alexa answer me i dont know how to help you
