Is the Roomba on the same local network as your Homebridge?

Is the Roomba on the same local network as your Homebridge?

No its on my Iot Network

[taurgis]

The plugin uses MQTT across the local network, so it will not work if it is on a separate one.

The plugin uses MQTT across the local network, so it will not work if it is on a separate one.

Would it work if I manually configured my devices and allowed homebridge to communicate back and forth between its network and my IoT network?

[taurgis]

Yes, the manual configuration should allow you to do this. You can get the required parameters from the "autoconfig" (blid and such)
