I have a Roomba i7, and I have not had issues until recently. It was appearing in HA as normal, and still is. But when I press the "clean" button in the HA dashboard, it does nothing. I turned on debug logs in the iRobot integration and reloaded it, and I got a lot of errors in the logs. Below is what I got:

2024-01-15 09:08:00.107 DEBUG (SyncWorker_2) [roombapy.remote_client] Setting TLS certificate

That just keeps repeating in the logs, because it tried to reload the integration repeatedly.

I have been trying to get a list of all the "room ids" (I don't remember what they are actually called) for the rooms in my house, so that I can use HA to start vacuuming individual rooms. I had been able to use dorita980 to do that until a couple of days/months ago. (I had not tried for a while until last week.) Now I can't get it to connect. I get the same "connection refused" error directly from dorita980. (I'm not sure what the relationship is between this HA integration and that project, if there is one, but I thought I would mention it, since the results are the same. I have also submitted an issue to that project.)

Roomba i7 Software Version: 22.52.10

Is this issue even being worked? It appears to be known problem for quite some time with lots of potential workarounds that seem to not work in the end. Same issues with J5.

[Orhideous]

Is this issue even being worked?

@kotasd Yes, right now (no joke).

Great, I was about to just write off my Roomba being HA controlled.

I’m not able to connect a j7+ either (Latest haos). I’ve tried the Roomba980 repository instructions as well. Not complaining and I appreciate the time and effort that goes into these things but just for comparison (just for reference as they were able to get through whatever changes happened with this model) the Homeseer plugin asks for your iRobot account user name and password at startup (not blid and password). This would be a nice addition as opposed to having to use ssh/terminal, python, and additional GitHub repositories to enter this information.

[ObJuanK]

I was able to connect to and issue commands to my J7+ using dority 980 this repo to get the BLID and password. From my computer I created a myapp.js file as the repo suggests and I was able to issue it a command to clean and dock etc... Using the same password in HA I get a "Failed to connect" error identical to this

Not really helpful I dont think, but some log entries from HA during the attempt

Good morning, any news on integration with the J9+? I see that the problem remains, failure to change the password... Any ideas?

Just posted this in another thread, similar situation.

I figured out my problem. I was not allowing UDP traffic on my firewall. After I corrected that issue, I was able to get it to connect.

This solved it for me as well! Forwarding for Port 443 was set as TCP only and after allowing Both (TCP and UDP) my Roomba 980 connected instantly!

I'm confused, what are you forwarding 443 to? The vac? Your HA server? Why would opening your FW to HTTPS traffic allow internal network traffic to get this working. This makes no sense.

[aarnaegg]

I'll give this a try today. For months I have still not been able to connect my J9+ to HA. HA can see it, but can never connect.
