Help with iRobot MQTT

Hmm, that’s a good question. The iRobot webpage for Optimal firewall configurations suggests that the MQTT communication happens on port 8883:

Internal Network Traffic

  • UDP port 5353/5678 for discovery.
  • TCP/HTTPS 443 for data traffic.
  • TCP/MQTT 8883 for data traffic.

The port number doesn’t seem to be configurable in dorita980 or rest980, but I did have some trouble connecting to it yesterday.

I’ll try again today and make sure I reset the Roomba beforehand in order to kick off any existing connections.
