Neato BotVac Connected binding?

anon80769353 · December 14, 2017, 8:29am

Hello everyone,

Just dropped back since a while, to share the news: D3 and D5 now both support Cleaning Summary with Coverage Map, which give us more things to try out

Hy,
i have installed the addon (org.openhab.binding.neato-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar).
so far everithing is working fine. I can use the status information in sitemap. But I can’t send commands to my neato. If I send the “clean” comman i get this:

2017-12-19 16:24:40.490 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item ‘Neato_EG_Command’ received command clean

2017-12-19 16:24:40.541 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Neato_EG_Command changed from stopCleaning to clean

==> /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log <==

2017-12-19 16:24:41.438 [ERROR] [nal.common.AbstractInvocationHandler] - An error occurred while calling method ‘ThingHandler.handleCommand()’ on ‘org.openhab.binding.neato.handler.NeatoHandler@ae94f1’: null

Do you have any suggestion or ideas what to do? I use an Connected D5

Hi, I’m having trouble getting this binding (org.openhab.binding.neato_2.0.0.201702202022.jar) to work on openHAB 2.2 with a Botvac D5 connected. The following shows up in the logfiles:

2017-12-29 23:54:12.197 [INFO ] [b.binding.neato.handler.NeatoHandler] - Will get STATE for Robot myRobot
2017-12-29 23:54:13.302 [INFO ] [b.binding.neato.handler.NeatoHandler] - Successfully got and parsed new state for myRobot
==> /var/log/openhab2/events.log <==
2017-12-29 23:54:13.311 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'neato:vacuumcleaner:myrobot' changed from OFFLINE (COMMUNICATION_ERROR) to ONLINE
==> /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log <==
2017-12-29 23:54:13.316 [ERROR] [b.binding.neato.handler.NeatoHandler] - Error when refreshing state. Error: null
==> /var/log/openhab2/events.log <==
2017-12-29 23:54:13.326 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - 'neato:vacuumcleaner:myrobot' changed from ONLINE to OFFLINE (COMMUNICATION_ERROR)

Am I doing something wrong or Is this perhaps an known issue?

Today I tried the same version as @skyscraper uses (org.openhab.binding.neato-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar) and receive the exact same error message:

2017-12-30 23:46:38.455 [ERROR] [nal.common.AbstractInvocationHandler] - An error occurred while calling method 'ThingHandler.handleCommand()' on 'org.openhab.binding.neato.handler.NeatoHandler@c4bbeb': null

Hi Bernd,

I’m new to openhab2 and stumbled over this thread. I’m very much interested in the binding Neato BotVac binding compatible with the VR200. Could you send that to me also?

Thank you very much!

Giga522 · January 17, 2018, 10:56pm

Look at this thread. There you will find the right file.

HoLiuS · January 18, 2018, 12:37am

awesome, thank you!!

K4nape · January 18, 2018, 7:03pm

Hi Bernd,
Maybe stupid question but i can’t find “Neato Vacuum Secret” Where i can get it?

Status: OFFLINE - COMMUNICATION_ERROR Could not find robot_serial for specified vendor_name
Anyone solved this problem?

Update: Solved all problems. Nice binding ! I waiting update

maciekish · February 2, 2018, 12:22pm

Hi, i have the same COMMUNICATION_ERROR issue. Did you ever get it resolved please?

maciekish · February 2, 2018, 12:23pm

How did you solve the COMMUNICATION_ERROR issue please?

jfbarnard · February 7, 2018, 3:57pm

None of the available jar files worked for me so I compiled the latest source available on the unreleased Openhab Neato addons github and fixed a few errors to make the binding work properly :

-Sending commands didn’t work so equalsIgnoreCase was used instead of “==” for comparing two string in sendCommand and in sendGetGeneralInfo of the NeatoRobot.java file
-Added a few lines to also pause the robot before sending the return to dock when sending the dock command
-Commented out the CHANNEL_ERROR case in publishChannel function

This is just a temporary solution for those of you who still want to use the binding until the official code gets updated :

djvl · February 7, 2018, 8:01pm

Thanks a lot! I can confirm the jar you provide works for my D5 Connected.

maciekish · February 8, 2018, 6:18pm

Same here, works on D5 Connected. Did you submit a pull request to the original GitHub repo?

kugelsicha · February 11, 2018, 11:04am

@jfbarnard Thanks a lot for this…

do you have also a example of your neato-vs.map file?

i still receive a

@NCO thank you… i’ve also have had problems executing the script… but add “python” in front of the path helped… now i’m very happy with

kugelsicha · February 14, 2018, 12:25pm

thank you… that is perfectly working without errors…

stinkediesel · February 25, 2018, 3:54pm

Do I have to use Botvac cloud or does it also work when cleaner is offline (only local WLAN connection to OH; but no internet access)?
I am from Germany, so I have some doubts using cloud services

mapicke · February 28, 2018, 11:03am

Hey, I tried the latest build from jfbarnard. With it I have the same problem like before. I tried to switch robot language from german to english. Also for german I have tried the option to switch from 24h to 12h. But my status in paper ui is always → “OFFLINE - COMMUNICATION_ERROR Unacceptable range for date”
Neato model: Botvac Connected 2.2.0
Any ideas? thx…

log:

Hi, can somebody help? I have inserted my Vorwerk-Credentials but got a “Not allowed” in the Event-Log.

2018-02-26 23:39:28.036 [INFO ] [b.binding.neato.handler.NeatoHandler] - {"message":"Not allowed"}
2018-02-26 23:39:28.040 [INFO ] [b.binding.neato.handler.NeatoHandler] - Authentication Response: {"message":"Not allowed"}

The credentials are correct.
