My Server is a QNAP-NAS. So i just correct the time in the settings.

@PeterVoronov
Hey Peter,
login is again (?) not working. I found this thread and installed dev-1.0.4-1, but log says "botvac.1 2023-07-15 11:51:19.359 warn login failed"
As such, no objects have been discovered/installed.

I recognize that there are several neato-plugins for several utilities (Smarthome), which seemed to have the same problem and needed some update work. So I suppose Neato changed their login procedure slightly.

Could you provide another update please? I have absolutely no competence in JS or PHP or any programming language...

Many thanks,
Daniel

[PeterVoronov]

Hi @danielmayer .

Unfortunately my botvac broke a few years ago ... Currently I can't check the plugin.
At least - it can't find any robots, as it not logged in the Neato system.
That's why currently I have no possibility to help ....

But I have no any issues with login of plugin...
Only "no robots" message ...

@petervoronov
Hi Peter,

the plugin was working fine for quite some time, but after I updated to the latest Node.js 18... it stopped working.
Reinstalling doesn't work either, I'm getting following error:
Any idea how to get it working again? It seems the adapter is no longer compatible...
Thanks,
Thomas

@csp
I have the same version of node - 18.17.1.
As I have no more botvac devices, I can only check the starting adapter and login to the api.
For me it's working. But when I made migration to node 18th, I wiped the node_modules directory fully.
I will not recommend to follow my way, as it required some additional understanding and manual work.
You can try at least to follow the recommendations from error log - execute "npm install --production" in adapter directory manually.

[csp]

@petervoronov I tried that already. It is a bit difficult, as I'm running it on Synology server in docker.
It did run through though, but not worked at the end.
Any idea on how to wipe the adapter fully? (Not all of course, just this one)
Happy to follow instructions.
Thomas

[csp]

@csp I just did it again, no success.
So I deinstalled the adapter and manually deleted the module folder.
Reboot ioBroker.
Reinstall bot vac adapter -> OK
Putting credentials in and restart... -> same issue. ioBroker tries 3 times to rebuild and fails...

@csp

I just did a crosscheck on my setup.
The adapter installs without issues here.
Check your setup, especially the nodejs install.

iob diag 

may be helpfull.

[csp]

@thomas-braun Installation works fine on my end as well. But as soon as I want to log in, it doesn't work.
What do I need to do exactly? Can you help?

[Thomas Braun]

@csp
No, I don't own that device, I just checked the adapter installation.

[csp]

@thomas-braun but maybe how I can check nodejs with iob diag?

[Thomas Braun]

@csp sagte in Neato Botvac adapter - further development:

iob diag

Just run it in your terminal and copy the output in the forum.

No need to read any further...
The correct installation of nodejs as runtime environment ist crucial.

@thomas-braun you are faster than I can correct my double post. :-)

This is a Docker?

Use the latest Version of Buanet Docker.

@thomas-braun yes, Docker. Will most likely use Portainer to recreate and pull latest image.
