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.

    I’d like to gently un-recommend Shark. I’ve had two warranty replacements in 6 months. They stand behind the product, but it would have been nicer if it worked consistently.

    First check the dontvacuum.me site for compatibility.

    Flash with modified firmware, run valetudo and disconnect from the Chinese cloud.

    Valetudo integrates with HA.
