Support for zone cleaning

[az0uz]

Added zone cleaning support.

Each zone cleaning switch is added as a separate accessory to be able to set a different room for each of them (enabling voice control via Siri to clean a specific room)

This PR needs to wait for node-botvac to be updated to include the persistant map implementation

but is fully working if you manually homebridge-neato to use the above branch of node-botvac

fixes https://github.com/naofireblade/homebridge-neato/issues/20

[az0uz]

I need to fix the generation of multiple accessory. The uuid I generate is not permanent, it is reset each time homebridge is restarted. I was generating the uuid myself as it was using the same for all 'zone' accessories which was creating conflicts.

[naofireblade]

Awesome work! I will merge this when node-botvac is updated and you are ready with this PR. According to your last comment, this is still WIP?

[az0uz]

yes I'll try to fix the accessories uuid reset in the coming days !

[az0uz]

it's done, we just need to wait for node-botvac to merge the PR and publish the new version

looks like they're waiting on you to fix the readme before merging.

Node-botvac just merged the necessary PR! Zone cleaning should now be able to be merged into this plugin!!

I looked into this, but I cannot test it for lack of a D7. The PR adds a new robot for each room?

[naofireblade]

I know that you can enter Strings in Homekit (with the Eve app). I used that in another plugin: https://github.com/naofireblade/homebridge-logic

I'm not sure if you can select from an Enum. That would be cool to select the room to clean.

[ifeign]

I've got a D7 and I could test this, what's the best way - should I wait for you to publish this update or should I create a fork? (I'm not terribly familiar with compiling code etc)

[az0uz]

@naofireblade I had to create one accessory per room, as per an HomeKit limitation, you can't have a multi room accessory (for now at least). So to be able to put each 'Clean' Switch in different HomeKit room, the only way was to create multiple accessories. At startup, it will create Switches names Clean the <room> or Clean <room> if the room name has > two words and contains 's. The logic is to name your room like:

• Living Room → Clean the Living Room
• John's Bedroom → Clean John's Bedroom But you can rename them once they are created !

@ifeign you should be able to test it by doing (if using npm):

npm install -g az0uz/homebridge-neato.git#8ef24c9d4034d2eb8c49e2267285db7f16b6289b

and when you are done / the PR is merged, you can reinstall the official upstream by doing :

npm uninstall -g homebridge-neato
npm install -g homebridge-neato

Thanks @az0uz, I just gave it a try and it works! No issues on my part.

[naofireblade]

Hey @az0uz thank you very much for the PR and your explanation. I merged and released it. @ifeign thank you for testing and commenting on this PR as well.
