[Feature Request] Map On/Off Switches for Robot Vacuums

Open Artic0din opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Just a question regarding your Frequently Asked Question:

Q: Can this support Samsung Washers, Dryers, Window AC, Robot Vacuum's? A: Not in the way you hoped. There are no characteristics in Homekit to allow it beyond simple On/Off Switches.

I've successfully added my robot vacuum into HomeKit and the vacuum makes noises when I turn the switch on and off but I was wondering, are you/we able to map the On/Off Switches to On (Start)/Off (Recharge) this would effectively allow you to make it run and then send it home again.

If you need a specific model let me know.

One hack that might work is to allow this to add scenes as devices, then we can start a scene that has the vacuum cleaner set to auto.
