I’m looking for one that can:

  • Run without any internet access (including during setup).
  • Can be controlled over LAN via HomeAssistant.
  • Mop.

5GHz wifi support and multiple floor capability would be a big bonus, but not a deal-breaker.

Basically, I’d like to get one, and see how I get on with it.
I’m happy to get something old/budget, to help me work out what I want in a “forever” vacuum.

Happy to buy second hand, and happy to flash/jtag/hack, so long as the procedures are reliable.

    Anything well supported by Valetudo, they have a nice list. I bought a Roborock S5 for $35 on ebay that needed the gearbox for the brush cleaned out, and it works well.

      The d10s pro/plus are great and not terribly expensive. The breakout board isnt too hard to build either. If youre afraid/bad at soldering i saw a few prebuilt on ebay
