I’m looking for one that can:
- Run without any internet access (including during setup).
- Can be controlled over LAN via HomeAssistant.
- Mop.
5GHz wifi support and multiple floor capability would be a big bonus, but not a deal-breaker.
Basically, I’d like to get one, and see how I get on with it.
I’m happy to get something old/budget, to help me work out what I want in a “forever” vacuum.
Happy to buy second hand, and happy to flash/jtag/hack, so long as the procedures are reliable.
Anything well supported by Valetudo, they have a nice list. I bought a Roborock S5 for $35 on ebay that needed the gearbox for the brush cleaned out, and it works well.
