Home Assistant Integration

You need to connect valetudo to your Home Assistant MQTT Broker.

Also enable discovery in Home Assistant like following:

mqtt:
  discovery: true
  discovery_prefix: homeassistant

(there is no need to enable vacuum.mqtt, it will be enabled automagically).

Example scripts.yaml snippet in Home Assistant for zoned cleaning

vacuum_guest_room:
     alias: "vacuum guest room"
     sequence:
       - service: vacuum.send_command
         data:
           entity_id: 'vacuum.robot'
           command: 'zoned_cleanup'
           params:
             'zone_ids': ['a09e1b77-75a6-45a7-b7fd-d77dd1d184dc']

For multiple zones:

          params:
             'zone_ids': ["a09e1b77-75a6-45a7-b7fd-d77dd1d184dc","76853b86-c522-4d38-9b0c-2a11a9ea738e"]

Depending on your robot, you may not be able to send multiple zones at once.

Example scripts.yaml snippet in Home Assistant for moving to a spot

(It’s basically the same as the zoned cleaning)

move_vacuum_to_bin_emptying_location:
     alias: "Move Vacuum to bin emptying location"
     sequence:
       - service: vacuum.send_command
         data:
           entity_id: 'vacuum.robot'
           command: 'go_to'
           params:
             'spot_id': '76853b86-c522-4d38-9b0c-2a11a9ea738e'

Example scripts.yaml snippet in Home Assistant for segment cleaning

(It’s basically the same as the zoned cleaning and moving to a spot)

clean_living_room_and_kitchen:
     alias: "Clean Living room and kitchen"
     sequence:
       - service: vacuum.send_command
         data:
            entity_id: 'vacuum.robot'
            command: 'segment_cleanup'
            params:
             'segment_ids': [13,37]

If you on Hass.io and want the map also on your dashboards of Home Assistant, use the ICantBelieveItsNotValetudo-Addon.

Automation for Valetudo version upgrade.

You need two sensors:

- platform: mqtt
  name: version_valetudo
  state_topic: "homeassistant/vacuum/valetudo_XXXXXX/config"
  value_template: ""
  scan_interval: 21600

- platform: command_line
  name: latest_valetudo
  command: curl -s https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo/releases/latest | cut -d'"' -f2 | rev | cut -d'/' -f1 | rev
  scan_interval: 21600

In Automations:

- id 'Your ID'
  alias: New Valetudo SW Version
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: ''
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      message: The new version  is available
      title: '*Valetudo upgrade pending*'
    service: notify.telegram
  - data:
      message: ''
      title: Valetudo upgrade pending
    service: persistent_notification.create
  mode: single
