Unable to get password #121

Closed ra-pha closed 3 years ago

ra-pha commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I know this is a topic which returns quite often and yet I'm lost.

I have a Roomba 671 (WiFi) and try to run the command to get the user ID and password on my Raspberry Pi. I do get the user ID but instead of the password I get the following message: Error getting password. Follow the instructions and try again.

The Roomba 671 has no Home button, only Spot, Clean and Dock. So basically I try to reboot the Roomba (long press spot & dock for 10 seconds) and run the command when Roomba is back online.

I've tried many many times, always the same result. The Roomba app on my iPhone is closed/off when I run the command. I have updated node and npm on my Raspberry as this had been suggested in other similar issues.

Roomba has Software 3.3.43-73 Node: 12.18.2 npm: 6.14.6 Roomba is on the dock. Roomba has a static IP address.

When I run the command, the clean button is lighting in steady green.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is Roomba on the dock?

ra-pha commented 3 years ago

Yes, it is.

jeremywillans commented 3 years ago

In your case, I believe it’s just hold down the dock button

ra-pha commented 3 years ago

You are my saviour.

Push the dock button until the WiFi signal turns to dark green and Roomba makes a sound, then get the user id and password and it works.

Many thanks Jeremy.
