is "get password" working on 981 robots?

ycrumeyrolle commented 4 years ago

~~Hi, I cannot connect to my Roomba 981 to get the password. I have the following error message~~

Make sure your robot is on the Home Base and powered on (green lights on). Then press and hold the HOME button on your robot until it plays a series of tones (about 2 seconds). Release the button and your robot will flash WIFI light.
Then press any key here...
events.js:174
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^
</del>
<del>
Error: connect EHOSTUNREACH <my_roomba_IP>:8883
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1104:14)
Emitted 'error' event at:
    at emitErrorNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:82:8)
    at emitErrorAndCloseNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:50:3)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)

~~The robot is on its dock, WIFI light flash, no app connected.~~ Is the 981 supported ?

Edit: My bad, the robot was not in the same VLAN... Now I cannot obtain the password:

Error getting password. Follow the instructions and try again.

I have NodeJS v10.15.2 installed. Firmware 2.4.6-3.

not tested in 981. troubleshooting check list:

Are you sure you are pressing HOME button and not Clean?
All your mobile apps are closed?
Did you configure the roomba for first time with the mobile app? (if not, you need to do that)
Reset the robot pressing Clean for 10 seconds aprox. Wait for restart and try again
Try other node.js version like 6 or 8

I will let the issue open waiting for someone that can confirm if it works on other 981 robots.

Today I've tested a 981 with docker run -it node sh -c "npm install -g dorita980 && get-roomba-password <robotIP>" and it works perfectly.
