In roombapy v1.7.0 @Orhideous removed entry_points in favour of using the library as a CLI (https://github.com/pschmitt/roombapy/pull/263 )

As a result, the instructions from manually retrieving your credentials are no longer working.

The current (incorrect) instructions are:

docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME_OR_ID python -c 'import roombapy.entry_points; roombapy.entry_points.password()' ROOMBA_IP

and I think the updated instructions should be:

docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME_OR_ID bash -c 'roombapy discover ROOMBA_IP'

This issue is still outstanding.

The instructions incorrectly claim that the iRobot Roomba Combo j7+ can be auto-discovered by holding the clean button. This method only reboots the device. To integrate the j7+ with the Roomba integration, users must manually retrieve and input the BLID (username) and password.
