Roomba 2 plug-in configuration problem

[Cyrille556]

Hello, I have just redone my homebridge installation and I can no longer configure the plug-in, Roomba2 several error message is displayed in the configuration terminal. Help me please

[sudoischenny]

Make sure you run the command in the plug in directory, its probably "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-roomba2". Basically run "npm root -g" and what ever that returns just add "/homebridge-roomba2". Then run getrobotpwd from there.

Thanks for help but I can't do what you advise me to do, I still have the same problem

Configuration is OK, including blid and robotpswd, but accesory is "not responding".

Change your directory to homebridge-roomba2...Then run the command from there.

I have the same problem. Followed these instructions:

CD into where your plugins are installed. You can find this by typing npm root -g Type sudo npm run getrobotpwd 192.168.x.xxx Follow the instructions on screen Use the credentials from above, to fill into Homebridge. (Config template below):

This is what I see:

Make sure you CD into where your plugins are installed. You can find this by typing npm root -g

[skazzyskills]

How do I do this in terminal? I tried entering in the command: cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules then running the get password command, but I still get the same error. What am I missing?

Thank you! Got it! Thanks!

[skazzyskills]

Wait, there's nothing listed there that says 'model'. But it's a field I have to fill out in the settings. What do I put. M6?

[sudoischenny]

Here is my config:

{ "name": "Miss Vroom", "model": "i7", "blid": "4****E", "robotpwd": ":1:1K", "ipaddress": "192.168.1.63", "autoRefreshEnabled": true, "keepAliveEnabled": true, "dockContactSensor": true, "binContactSensor": true, "cacheTTL": 30, "accessory": "Roomba2" }

I don’t think it matters the plug-in doesn’t officially support anything above the 900s. It’s just a value it passes on to homebridge... it’s a formality thing

[skazzyskills]

Ok great. Cheers!

@Chennyisafrag having issues with my M6 mop. Getting constant 'no response' in HomeKit. Just noticed in the Eve app it says battery for my M6 mop is at 0% but Roomba says 100%. I wonder if this is the issue for the constants ‘no response’ I’m getting for this accessory? The plugin is not reading the percentage properly? And therefore it’s giving me a no response?

[skazzyskills]

Confirmed. In Homebridge, it registers as 'not charging' and at 0%. BUT, it is actually 100% charged and works if I hit the power button in Homebridge. Hmmm..

[sudoischenny]

@skazzyskills make sure you have a static IP set to the M6... you can try messing with the cache settings to make it more stable...

[skazzyskills]

IP is static. Works fine in the homebridge interface. The hangup is the translation into HomeKit. Definitely has something to do with requesting the status of the battery. It’s coming through at 0% rather than 100% and because of this I think it’s getting the no response.

I don’t see any other solutions... it’s been a while since the project was updated... I’m sure it’s something you can overlook since the M6 has recharge and resume.

@Chennyisafrag Hello, i'm a new user for homebridge, and i would to start with this plugin, but i have the same problem like you have show to us in one of your previous message. My question is in homebridge where i can find the "the plug in directory" because in the the Terminal this the cmd

From previous...

Make sure you run the command in the plug in directory, its probably "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-roomba2". Basically run "npm root -g" and what ever that returns just add "/homebridge-roomba2". Then run getrobotpwd from there.

Here you can find what i have when i follow your instruction

if you can help me that should be great.

[sudoischenny]

@brufal Would recommend watching or reading a couple get started with Linux/Raspbian materials. But to solve your issue you need to put "cd" in front of the directory you want to move to. In your case, it would be "cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ homebridge-roomba2"

[brufal]

@Chennyisafrag Thanks for your first help, i have just try your cmd suggest, but i receive the following answer

[sudoischenny]

Remove the space between node_modules/ and homebridge-roomba2.

[brufal]

i receive an answer was : "No such file or directory"

[sudoischenny]

Just to confirm... Is the plug-in install in homebridge?

[brufal]

Yes of course. @Chennyisafrag I am not a pro, but I know to do some basic tips and install before try to configure is always better ahaha ;-)

[sudoischenny]

Just cd into “ /usr/local/lib/node_modules” then run “dir” and check if homebridge-roomba2 is there

[brufal]

I have try your cmd and this is the result 👇🏼

[sudoischenny]

You need a space between cd and the directory you wish to go to

[brufal]

I have the same things with the space

[sudoischenny]

Lol... auto correct

[brufal]

?? Where?

[brufal]

I have find the mistake between “usr” and “user”

[brufal]

@Chennyisafrag hey thanks to your help I have finished successfully the setting of my Roomba I haven’t tested yet but now I can see it in my app Home. i’m going to try it today. I am a French guy so sorry if we have some delay between an answer because we have a different time zone

[sudoischenny]

Great! Make sure you set a static IP for the Roomba on your router.
