Missing water shortage info

[yolani]

Decided to open anew issue for this: My S6 vMAX is lacking the information about water shortage, it's. unavailable. Here are some debug logs:

I'm seeing the response from get_status command and the field used for water shortage sensor(water_shortage_status) is not there. Do you know which field is used for that in the S6 MaxV?

[yolani]

I am starting to wonder if this is even supported on my S6 MaxV:

• I can't find any indication about the water level in the app
• There seems to be no sensor at all in the water tank, some magnet or anything else....

The internet tells me that even the S7 does not have a sensor either but the software predicts the water level based on usage.... I guess I could re-implement that in HA based on cleaning duration.

Do you know any model for which this is working? Just curious...

[humbertogontijo]

I own a S7 MaxV which also don't have any sensors to the water level. It's just a timer and the sensor on the water box itself under the hood. But Roborock sends a water_shortage_status on the get_status command for it

[yolani]

So it seems not be supported right? It's strange because it's only a timer in software but obviously not working for the s6

[ScottG489]

Just did a quick estimation for my S6 MaxV and using a medium water level it seems like it uses roughly 1% of the water per 1m² of cleaning area. Could anyone else replicate this or try to get the numbers for other water levels?

[yolani]

The interesting thing is, I noticed the the app shows a (probably time based) warning for my s6 maxv, but I don't have the sensor / value contained in the api data

[ScottG489]

Which app are you using and where do you see that warning in the app?

[yolani]

The official Roborock app, I got a small banner at the bottom, unfortunately it's not there right now...

[ScottG489]

Ok thanks for the info. Are you able to use the official Roborock app and the Home Assistant integrations? I'm not sure which one it was between the Xiaomi Miio integration, xiaomi cloud map extractor and whatever else I'm using, but I thought you needed to use the Mi Home app?

I liked the Roborock app better so I'd rather use that, but I'm worried it would mess up my HA setup.

Otherwise, maybe you could do testing with your water levels too and see if your water usage rate lines up with mine? I ran my tank basically dry though and I imagine it would alert you before that.

[ScottG489]

Also to add to the conversation earlier, I don't show a water_shortage_status from get_status (using miiocli). I only see water_box_status, water_box_mode, and water_box_carriage_status. Perhaps water_shortage_status only shows up when it's low?

[yolani]

I re-enabled the sensor for now, filled up the tank yesterday and will now monitor what happens, maybe it will show a value at some point during the next days after a few cleaning runs...

[ScottG489]

I was impatient during my testing, so I just had the robot do a bunch of extra cleanings until the tank was out :)
