Neato Botvac adapter - further development

PeterVoronov

Hi

Currently I'm trying to make some updates for the adapter.

First step - it is editable schedule for the robot.
Currently it available not for all robots, but, if somebody is ready to be a tester - I can continue.
My D5 has a limited schedule functionality - only to set the time and day.
For modes and boundaries - it's more or less ready, but I can't test...

Next steps - it will be a maps and other things ...
My PR with schedule is accepted by maintainer of the adapter ...

So - if you have such devices and ready to test - you are welcomed.

@petervoronov Hi, I have a D7 and would like to help. What should I do?

PeterVoronov

@masgo Hi
Excuse me for long silent.

You can try to install dev version of adapter

cd /opt/iobroker/
iobroker url  https://github.com/PeterVoronov/ioBroker.botvac/tree/dev-1.0.4-1

And check, what is new object's is created in channel schedule under the your robot device.
Please share the result.
Additionally you can try to edit startTime and mode.
I'm not sure about BoundaryId's now.

To revert it back:

cd /opt/iobroker/
iobroker upgrade iobroker.botvac@1.0.0

And agree on downgrade.

Hey Peter,
i tried to install your developer version of the botvac because in Version 1.0.0. i have the problem

botvac.0	2021-05-23 06:54:16.262	warn	(7527) could not update robot Nono
botvac.0	2021-05-23 06:54:15.832	info	(7527) devices found: 1

Next step i´ve installed the developer version 1.0.4-1 from above and now i have another problem.

botvac.0	2021-05-23 06:54:54.876	warn	(31575) Device"Nono" with id: Nono is not exists in cloud any more!
botvac.0	2021-05-23 06:54:54.804	warn	(31575) can not create appropriate objects! Err = "something wrong with devices: {}"

I tried also to delete the adapter in ioBroker and i reinstall the Botvac D5 conneceted also in the Neato app. Both didn´t help.

Can you help me how can i fix this problem, at least in one of the versions?

Hi.

It's strange, but I sometime faced with similar behavior.
Please try stop the adapter, then do not use mobile app for some period of time, and after that try to start the adapter.
If it is not help - will add some debugs ... may be it will help

bourton88

@petervoronov
Ohh thats cool. Thanks!!

I stopped the Adapter just for an hour and it works :-)

I have another assumption because unfortunately i changed two things. I stopped the adapter AND i recognized that the clock-time from the running ioBroker instance was not set to the correct time. So i changed that as well.

Maybe there is an Sync-Problem with the Neato-Server when the time doesn´t fit?

It the code for connection I not saw the time-sync recs or functions...
But by my understanding, it is some limitation on the cloud for the connections in the same time from one account...

bourton88

@petervoronov
After a long time a had the same issue as before (see post from 23. Mai 2021, 10:11)

This time i checked your recommendation first but it doesn´t help. Then i checked the clock-time at my Server again and it doesn´t fit with the current time. So i changed the Server time back to the current time and it works well.

There must be a dependency to the time-sync.

Thomas Braun

@bourton88

Correct timezones in your system?

date && date -u

bourton88

@thomas-braun
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 ...

csp

@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

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 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...

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?
