Add support for Dreame D9 Robot Vacuum (dreame.vacuum.p2009)

[bigdx]

The Dreame D9 Robot Vacuum is launched in Europe and has some interesting specs and feature.

Device information:

• Name(s) of the device: Dreame D9 Robot Vacuum

• Link: https://www.dreame-technology.com/products/dreame-d9

• Model: dreame.vacuum.p2009

• Hardware version: -

• Firmware version: -

Additional context As there is already the miot-spec out there (http://miot-spec.org/miot-spec-v2/instance?type=urn:miot-spec-v2:device:vacuum:0000A006:dreame-p2009:1) it should be possible to add support?! As I am new to this, I have no Idea where to start, but would like to contribute (when my robot arrives ^^)

[rytilahti]

I wouldn't be surprised if this shares similarities with p2008 (WIP PR #683) or some other dreame vacuums (#812).

That would be great! And if I havent missed some critical point, it seems not THAT hard to get this done. By getting the commands from miot-spec you can write py-functions to controll the bot ... and hide that behind a nice UI ;-)

Slightly off-topic, but does the bot have to be conected to the internet to receive those "locale" commands?

Yes, there is a script in devtools directory for that purpose. It takes a miot-spec json as input and generates a template that can be used to add support for new devices. It is still heavily work in progress, as is the whole architecture to support miot devices in a future-proofed way.

No idea, sorry. It really depends on the device, but at the moment I cannot recall issues regarding to blocking the internet access, outside https://python-miio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/troubleshooting.html#intermittent-connection-issues-timeouts-xiaomi-vacuum .

Hi guys,

is there already something new regarding this robot? I got this model last week and would like to implement it into home assistant.

Hi guys,

is there already something new regarding this robot? I got this model last week and would like to implement it into home assistant.

Caused by (the pandemic- and the holiday-caused ^^) lockdown I had not much time yet. I tried to capture the commands of the App with wireshark, but had no luck. I guess a stupid little issue but my brain was just to lazy from all the eating to see it ;-) Would be nice if someone could try that too.

As soon as possible i'll try that.

Sounds promising. Strange, I searched like crazy for such informations but no luck. Thats why I like to "ask" stuff, humans are much better search-engines ;-)

[patrik-dev]

Any news at this issue? I have a d9 too and it would be very nice if I could control it with oh and Alexa :)

[GizmoLibre]

I have a Dreame D9 and it does work with Home Assistant. Just follow a post from Hyyd1e here for support for F9, apparently this works for D9 too - https://community.home-assistant.io/t/support-for-xiaomi-dream-f9-mop-vacuum/220858/14

[spider54]

Hello, I managed to add my D9 vacuum cleaner in HA, but I cannot recover the card to order the vacuum cleaner by zone or by room. have you succeeded? thank you

[GizmoLibre]

Hi. Unfortuanely, no, i haven't. It seems kinda tricky to set up, it involves extracting the coordinates for rooms or zones, and making the scripts to incorporate them in the card. I was trying to read up on the procedure for Xiaomi Mijia 1C which is similar to Dreame D9, but i didn't have the time to actually do it. You can find the discussion here https://community.home-assistant.io/t/xiaomi-mijia-1c-sweeping-vacuum-cleaner-white-stytj01zhm/185089/95 , let me know if you succeed.

[marcelrv]

If the format is similar to the roborock models you can use this tool to extract coordinates from the map

https://community.openhab.org/t/xiaomi-vacuum-map-viewer-to-find-coordinates-for-zone-cleaning/103500

[spider54]

Thank you, I use for my Roborock S5, and it works very well. https://github.com/PiotrMachowski/Home-Assistant-custom-components-Xiaomi-Cloud-Map-Extractor but it does not work with my Dreame D9. How can I use Marcel Verpaalen's software with Home Assistant? How to get the rrmap? from Xiaomi Home?

[pergolafabio]

To extract coordinates, you need to download that customized xiaomi .apk, it will create a log file on android with the coordinates, from there you can use them in your scripts... It's discussed on the community forums

[spider54]

Thanks pergolafabio, where can I download this apk?

[pergolafabio]

There was link posted on the forums, let me know if you can't find it, I have it also local...

[spider54]

Difficult to find without knowing the exact name of the file! If you have a link, thank you.

[Chrischi-]

MiHome_6.1.700_63410_vevs.apk or google „kapiba mihome“.

The file will surely infringe some copyright and so I didn't want to post the direct link.

[spider54]

Thanks, great, I found it.

[spider54]

Hello, I installed the apk but I don't see how to recover the card !!

[pergolafabio]

It's not possible to extract map , only coordinates that are in a log file

[spider54]

And how do we get the coordinates? Where is this log file?

[pergolafabio]

Look here, you need to manually create the folder first, then start a normal clean, it will create a file then... Then stop the clean, and then just start with your coordinate cleaning...

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/xiaomi-mijia-1c-sweeping-vacuum-cleaner-white-stytj01zhm/185089/118?u=pergola.fabio

[spider54]

Thank you pergolafabio, I had to create the 3 directories as indicated, I got a file, but I don't really see any coordinates.

[GizmoLibre]

Same for me, i cannot find them with the log file method. Nothing in there resembles to the coordinates as for the other Xiaomi vacuums, so i guess Dreame D9 shows them in a like a different value or something. Also, even if i found and extracted them, i cannot use them anyway, since the vacuum.send_command is giving me "failed to call service". So using it with the F9 method i linked only gets you so far. Someone with the higher knowledge and D9 needs to work on this, if we want to make zone cleaning and live maps available.

[spider54]

thank you, I came to the same conclusion.

[rezmus]

search for something like this

"siid":4,"aiid":1,"in":[{"piid":1,"value":19},{"piid":10,"value":X}]

X contains json with areas. i'm pretty sure d9 uses same cmd for room/zone clean as f9.

[spider54]

Thank you for your help. An extract of my file compared to your indication, but I do not see what to recover! 2021-02-06 13:51:53 -> {"id":4531,"method":"action","params":{"did":"382836526","siid":6,"aiid":1,"in":[{"piid":2,"value":"{\"req_type\":1,\"frame_type\":\"I\"}"}]}} 2021-02-06 13:52:06 -> {"id":4534,"method":"action","params":{"did":"382836526","siid":4,"aiid":1,"in":[{"piid":1,"value":18},{"piid":10,"value":"{\"selects\":[[5,1,0,2,1]]}"}]}}

[pergolafabio]

Are you starting a room cleaning? Or are you drawing an rectangle? Room cleaning commands are not supported yet i think

[rezmus]

1/18 is room clean which uses array of selects (rooms) in this format

var selectInfo = [];

for (var areaId in selectAreas) {
  var _item = selectAreas[areaId];

  if (_item) {
    var newData = [parseInt(_item), _this.state.selectNum, _this.state.cleaningMode, _this.state.mopMode, Number(areaId) + 1];
    selectInfo.push(newData);
  }
}

var selectData = {
  "selects": selectInfo
};

1/19 is zone/area clean.

[spider54]

pergolafabio I do a room cleaning. Thank rezmus I did not understand everything, I am a beginner. In the example I set, the part number is 18, is that it?

[need2buy]

Someone with the higher knowledge and D9 needs to work on this, if we want to make zone cleaning and live maps available.

same experience. It seems vacuum.send_command does not work correctly Dreame D9.

[rezmus]

are you using f9 integration? zone cleaning in f9/d9 has different command than 1c.

[GizmoLibre]

In my case, I tried it both, with xiaomi_vacuum.vacuum_clean_zone and vacuum.send_command. First one says: Failed to call service xiaomi_vacuum/vacuum_clean_zone. 'DreameVacuum' object has no attribute 'zone_cleanup'. So i guess the dreamevacuum.py (the one we replaced with one suited for F9) inside config\custom_components\xiaomi_vacuum needs to be updated with the proper code or something, i really have no experience in this area.

[pergolafabio]

9are you guys actually using the custom component for zone cleaning? because there is one specific for D9 and F9

[pergolafabio]

i believe this one for D9 : https://github.com/Concentricc/xiaomi_vacuum and this one for F9 (using myself) : https://github.com/microfrost1/xiaomi_vacuum

[pergolafabio]

i am using this command for F9, works perfect

dreame_clean:
  alias: Boven stofzuigen
  sequence:
  - service: xiaomi_vacuum.vacuum_clean_zone
    data:
      entity_id: vacuum.dreame
      zone: -1951,-6352,10160,2788
      repeats: 1

[rezmus]

don't use 1c integration. d9/f9 has same command for zone/room cleanup. use f9 if you can't find d9.

[need2buy]

Thanks pergolafabio. Your suggestion works like a champ. Now i am working to get the coordinates maps out.

[GizmoLibre]

Yaaay, success. Thanks pergolafabio, you are the champ. The problem was indeed that i was using the wrong custom component, the one by Concentricc is actually not suitable for D9, but the microfrost1 works (i was using Concentricc), so no more issues with xiaomi_vacuum.vacuum_clean_zone.

I also managed to dig out the coordinates, they are tough to find. In the log, search for the word areas . My entry in the log looked like this after i drew a zoned clean rectangle for my kitchen in the cracked Mi Home app:

2021-02-10 05:53:00 -> {"id":5960,"method":"action","params":{"did":"382834556","siid":4,"aiid":1,"in":[{"piid":1,"value":19},{"piid":10,"value":"{\"areas\":[[-1117,3105,1235,8338,1,0,2]]}"}]}}

So, you take only that four points that i bolded, i have no clue what the next three ones are. Worked like a charm, cleaned the kitchen going all the way near the walls, like it would do from the regular Mi Home app, so i am happy.

Next thing to do, we need to find out how to make multiple zoned cleans work. For example, what i do from the Mi Home app is that i pick Room, select Kitchen first, and Living Room second, so the vacuum goes in that order of cleaning, before returing to the dock.

I would also like the map functionality to work, like the people use xiaomi_vacuum_map_card for the other models, that is very nice option to have, having a map in HA, so you can see where the robot is. Maybe too much to ask, but at least we made progress for zone cleaning to work :) Thanks again.

[spider54]

thank you for your feedback, I'm trying this evening.

[pergolafabio]

@GizmoLibre indeed room cleaning + map extracting is a nice plus, maybe for later

what i do if i want to clean multiple zones, i make a script to clean 2 zones, with a delay between it... the delay is the amount of time that should be suffecient for zone 1

allthough fot the official vacuum you can define a lists of zones... i dont know if that works too for this custom, i never tried it...

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/xiaomi_miio/#service-xiaomi_miiovacuum_clean_zone

let us know :)

[rezmus]

d9/f9 support multiple zones.

{"areas":[[zone1],[zone2],[zone3]]}

each zone record is [x1,y1,x2,y2,zone_number,clean_mode,mop_mode]

[pergolafabio]

perfect

btw, did anyone already recieved a firmware for this daughter brand of xiaomi? seems 1C is getting updates, and dreame f9/d9 not?

[rezmus]

f9 had already 2 updates (3.5.8_1039) and d9 had 1 (3.5.8_1072).

[pergolafabio]

ah ok, i already have indeed 3.5.8 1039 , but that was from 2 months ago? i dont know the history since i have it like 2 months but now seems 1C is getting again new firmwares , are they not the same?

[rezmus]

last update for f9 was in november. don't expect updates every month. 1c got new fw 1096 (backporting room clean from f9) after 9 months since previous 1059.

[GizmoLibre]

I will try to play with multiple zones, gonna report back. Yea, we had one firmware update 3.5.8_1072 on December 28th for the D9, the next one that brings multiple floor maps is coming this month, according to a representative on Ozbargain website.

[pergolafabio]

ok, good to know

i am not that happy with F9, probaly since there is no camera, sometimes its just not able to find a zone, if i want to clean another room, while the path is quite easy my S50 works way better probably the D9 too

[need2buy]

Couple of services do not work when I tried to use them

• service: xiaomi_vacuum.vacuum_clean_zone data: entity_id: vacuum.dreame zone: -1951,-6352,10160,2788 repeats: 1 >>> this seems not working...the clean times remain 1 regardless of what number we used

service: vacuum.start_pause >>>> not working so we can't resume the zone clean service: vacuum.start >>>> will abort the current zone clean and start a full clean service: vacuum.send_command >>> does not work

Many more, but I see these should be working so we could use this integration more effectively.

My D9 is now working fine by zone, thank you.
