[RELEASE] Roborock Robot Vacuum

The select device is harsh in its design. I wouldn’t use it for except to set up each device to its own driver.

It shouldn’t change on its own unless you remove it from your account as it locks to the device UUID.

That's good to know. I wasn't suggesting selecting the device often, only checking to make sure it didn't .. for whatever reason .. get messed up. If it never changes, it would never issue the Select Device.

But your explanation about the UUID precludes the need to do even that.

About to take the plunge on a new Roborock since my Neatos have finally died. :unamused:

Surprised there’s zero mention of the Saros line on this thread. Any opinions on best model for a pure vacuum (not combo mop)?

I recognize that “best” is highly subjective but I’d appreciate opinions.

Never heard of them but your post made me curious and wow those are expensive. That’s likely why no one has mentioned them. While my Q8 has a mop feature, I have never used it.

TONS of vacuum reviews on youtube - stick with roborock so you can use the Hubitat integration they make great units. IF you change your mind about mopping, get one with the dual rotating heads. I just bought a 2nd Roborock a Qrevo Pro I got at Target for 625 - it does a GREAT job of vac and mop.

Hi there! I’m a happy user of a Roborock E5 cheap but effective model, it doesn’t work with Roborock app only Xiaomi home…any options of getting work in hubitat? Thanks in advance

Unfortunately this solution does not support Xiaomi. There might be some older solutions if you search.

Older solutions means “virtual button” ?

Didn't they just come out last month? I wouldn't expect much in this thread about them yet. I have been following the release of them in the Roborock subreddit though. Nothing I can afford, and others who will eventually buy them are probably waiting for their current robot age more before a new robot purchase.

That, and their cost, certainly explains the silence. I didn't realize they were so new. I'm even newer to Roborock and just started doing a bunch of research over the last few days. I'm a Neato refugee, so be kind :wink:

Today, we just took the plunge and bought two Roborocks, one vacuum-only (Q5 Max+ for carpeted upstairs and a Qrevo MaxV for mixed floor downstairs). Psyched to get it set up and put Neato in my rearview mirror (and my garbage).
