Switch OFF and Roomba start cleaning #43

Closed Skyman81 closed 3 years ago

Skyman81 commented 3 years ago

I using last version of the pluggin. My Roomba model is: 671. (only "Enable Keep Alive" is enabled. no other option is set)

Everything is running good BUT every time I ask to SIRI "turn off (or on) all switches" (of my home's lights) all of my light turn off/on and Roomba start cleaning. Also if Roomba is OFF/ON does not matter... it start cleaning.

(no automation is set)

Same here

Either set a custom scene or a Siri shortcut of everything except the Roomba.

One workaround i can think of is to change switches to show as 'light' instead of switches and instead telling Siri to 'Turn off all lights'

I changed Roomba to show as a "fan"... but I have to test it.

That may work too actually

@Skyman81 thank you, this is indeed because Roomba is represented as a switch. But also, even though the switch was already off, HomeKit sets it to off again and the plugin puts Roomba into docking mode, when it's already docking...
