Feature request: going to a position with button pressing

[ursusHU]

Would it be possible to have such button in HK? My vacuum’s dock is hidden and every time I still need to open the Mihome app to navigate it to a point where I can get the dustbin out. A simple button would be enough, when on the vacuum goes to the predefined coordinates, when off goes back to the dock. Thanks in advance!

Hi @ursusHU! It sounds like a great idea. I think it may be similar to #130?

[ursusHU]

Hi @afharo, yes that’s the same request :) I wonder if this would be possible to use the zone cleaning feature somehow with defining a small area.

Going to a position, it should be easy to implement. I just don't have enough spare time to put it together, sorry 🙂

I know that having separate Dock and GoToPosition buttons would be better, but if anyone wants quick solution for goTOposition just edit file homebridge-xiaomi-roborock-vacuum/miio/lib/devices/vacuum.js

find function find() and change it like this:

/**
   * Activate the find function, will make the device give off a sound.
   */
  find() {
    return this.call("app_goto_target",[26000,26300]).then(() => null);
    //return this.call("find_me", [""]).then(() => null);
  }

There you will have on findMeButton going to position. But you need to have find option enabled in setup config

Thank you @kajaba! It'd be great to use your suggestion to add a button based on the config

I think its the matter of half an hour, but hey, I am not a developer of this The same is for Dock button

return this.call("app_charge", [""]).then(() => null);

[afharo]

The same is for Dock button

return this.call("app_charge", [""]).then(() => null);

Turning the speed down to 0% already does that. It calls app_stop and app_charge

I would also love this pin to go function. Are you guys gonna implement it in main plugin?

I've been thinking about this for quite some time now. My vacuum is parked below a sideboard, thus can't be reached without moving it. I'd love to move it to a specific location once a week when I come home. The automation-part should be quite easy.

~~Quite a lot has changed in index.js, so I am not sure where to implement this. @afharo if you can perhaps give me a hint, I'll try to implement it and make a pull request.~~

Never mind. Found it and will now start working on it.

It should be resolved by @luc-ass in version https://github.com/homebridge-xiaomi-roborock-vacuum/homebridge-xiaomi-roborock-vacuum/releases/tag/v0.23.0
