Dammsugare

Dammsugare exposes a switch to HomeKit that allows turning a robot vacuum
on or off. By default it is configured for a Eufy RoboVac 11.

Note: This relies on rodljus. The RoboVac is fairly dumb, it
doesn’t have WiFi or other cloud-y API things to control it with. So instead
it is controlled by sending the necessary commands to mqtt2lirc.

Installation

The installation is pretty simple, go install it and run it. Potentially
adjust the timeout and set a different manufacturer, name, model and serial
number.

go install github.com/hemtjanst/dammsugare
dammsugare -timeout 100 -mqtt.address broker.mydomain.tld:1883

Configuration

Because the robot cannot signal back to us when it’s done the timeout is used
to flip the on state back to off. Try to guestimate how long the cleaning
cycle is and set the appropriate -timeout, in minutes.

See the --help for all possible options.
