This seems like a brilliant solution to a problem that shouldn't exist.

It's funnier in the original Australian.

@corsicanguppy the port's too loose for me.

Does rooting no longer require specialized hardware?

[-] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 1 points 11 months ago

You mean the breakout board? You can root with a breadboard but the breakout board is strongly recommended and there are lots of people ready to send you a kit or lend you their board.

There were not ~~lots~~ any in the US willing to send when I tried a few months ago and picked up a dreame

Dennis Giese (one of the two people working on Valetudo) is sending PCBs in the US. He even created a form to request a kit: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJEdx74kYoQfTt73coFNPp86pZ4a4o8M-sN8EsV0jvBQvQqg/viewform

Well shit. Now that I know about this, I find out my model is permanently unsupported. Thanks for the info.

Without Valetudo I wouldn't have considered buying a robot vacuum in the first place.

The software is mature and the community is available to help new users root their robots. Just do not expect it to work with random robots (stick to supported robots) nor for every feature to be supported.

I strongly advice everyone to read the documentation thoroughly (especially Why not Valetudo and [FAQ] (https://valetudo.cloud/pages/faq.html)) before getting involved.
