Room / Zone Cleaning

[gorzan14]

We would like to see this feature implemented. Neato-homebridge plugin does have it. Would be nice to call Siri to clean kitchen.

@nicoh88 would it be possible to implement Rooms?

I just checked https://github.com/nicoh88/node-kobold/blob/master/lib/robot.js, seems like this feature needs to be implemented upstream first.

This is how you can get a list of all maps:

Request:
GET https://beehive.ksecosys.com/users/me/robots/<robot_id>/persistent_maps

Response:
[
  {
    "id": "2020-01-01T12:34:56Z", # <-- this is what we are looking for
    "name": "<name_of_the_floor_map",
    "url": "<url>",
    "raw_floor_map_url": "<url>",
    "url_valid_for_seconds": 300
  }
]

We can then use the id to get all rooms (boundaries):

POST https://nucleo.ksecosys.com:4443/vendors/vorwerk/robots/<robot_id>/messages
{
  "reqId": "1",
  "cmd": "getMapBoundaries",
  "params": {
    "mapId": "2020-01-01T12:34:56Z" # <-- Insert ID here
  }
}

Response:
{
	"version": 1,
	"reqId": "1",
	"result": "ok",
	"data": {
		"boundaries": [{
			"id": "<id>",
			"type": "polygon",
			"vertices": [
				[0.4816, 0.258],
				[0.6539, 0.258],
				[0.6539, 0.5068],
				[0.4816, 0.5068]
			],
			"name": "Flur",
			"color": "#CF3464",
			"enabled": true
		}, {
			"id": "<id2>",
			"type": "polyline",
			"vertices": [
				[0.7712, 0.4176],
				[0.8118, 0.4198]
			],
			"name": "Line 2",
			"color": "#D0021B",
			"enabled": true
		}, {
			"id": "<id3>",
			"type": "polyline",
			"vertices": [
				[0.5581, 0.573],
				[0.5591, 0.6557]
			],
			"name": "Line 1",
			"color": "#D0021B",
			"enabled": true
		}, {
			"id": "<id5>",
			"type": "polygon",
			"vertices": [
				[0.185, 0.2625],
				[0.4949, 0.2625],
				[0.4949, 0.7233],
				[0.185, 0.7233]
			],
			"name": "Wohnzimmer",
			"color": "#8B1A9A",
			"enabled": true
		}, {
			"id": "<id6>",
			"type": "polygon",
			"vertices": [
				[0.6412, 0.2459],
				[0.8216, 0.2459],
				[0.8216, 0.742],
				[0.6412, 0.742]
			],
			"name": "Schlafzimmer",
			"color": "#9F9557",
			"enabled": true
		}, {
			"id": "<id7>",
			"type": "polygon",
			"vertices": [
				[0.5107, 0.496],
				[0.639, 0.496],
				[0.639, 0.6517],
				[0.5107, 0.6517]
			],
			"name": "Bad",
			"color": "#009A3C",
			"enabled": true
		}]
	}
}

We can then use one of these IDs of polygons (the other IDs are the no-go lines):

POST https://nucleo.ksecosys.com:4443/vendors/vorwerk/robots/<robot_id>/messages
{
	"reqId": "1",
	"params": {
		"boundaryId": "<boundary_id_from_previous_request>",
		"navigationMode": 1,
		"mode": 2,
		"category": 4
	},
	"cmd": "startCleaning"
}

I think you also need to supply a date somewhere, but I haven't had the time now to figure this out.

I have created a new fork of naofireblade's most recent homebridge-neato, merged with the oAuth authentication mechanism from this package.

The interaction with the Vorwerk Server is handled by the underlying node-kobold-control module, based on a fork of Pmant's most recent node-botvac, merged with the oAuth authentication mechanism from nicoh88's node-kobold.

Like naofireblade's package, it has support for zones and no-go lines.
I have published it as a new package homebridge-kobold on npm for now, but I'd be happy to help merge the changes here via pull request.
