Ecovacs Deebot N79 (and others) integration

Hi guys. A couple months ago I bought a Deebot Ecovacs N79 robot.

I kept looking for ways of integrating it with OpenHAB but none found.

So I finally googled and found a good library wich does the heavylifting. I just finished a small gateway that translate it to MQTT in order to integrate it with OpenHAB.

I now have full monitoring and control of the vacuum cleaner.

Feel free to take a look.

Thanks

I just try to install sucks, when starting the “first test”, I get:

[15:15:27] root@openHABianPi:/etc/openhab2# sucks login
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/sucks", line 7, in <module>
    from sucks.cli import cli
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sucks/__init__.py", line 360
    def is_charging(self) -> bool:
                          ^

Maby cause ferom my Pthon version, seems I have:
python --version => Python 2.7.13

Can I update? How? Will I run in issues with oH when I update Python to 3.x ?

Hi,

My OpenHAB installation is based on Openhabian, which includes both python 2.7 as well as python 3.

You can tell if your system has python3 by issuing the following command:

python3 -V

Or alternatively by inspecting the output of the following command. If it mentions python3 in addition to python2, you’re good.

dpkg -l | grep -e "python[23]"

In order for sucks to work on my system, I had to perform the following commands:

apt-get install python3-pip
pip3 install sucks

After which I edited the shebang (on line 1) /usr/local/bin/sucks for it to use python3, i.e. changed it to:

#!/usr/bin/python3

@Guillermo_Schimmel not sure if you would like to update the installation notes to reflect this?

You run this from the linux CLI, not from the openhab-cli

will do

Hi
Thanks for the scripts.
I just got the same robot and I’m trying to set it up with openHAB.
I have managed to get it working with running command with sucks.
But I have problem with integrate sucks with openHAB (MQTT).

When I look at your python script (openhab-sucks/scripts/ecovacs-mqtt-gateway.py at master · guillebot/openhab-sucks · GitHub) on line 27 you have set ip address.
What IP is this? openHAB? robot?

This is the error I got when running the python script:
