Vorwerk VR300 how should the neato.cfg look like?

1

Hello,

I want to bind the VR300 to my openhab, but I doesn’t use the webUI.

I can’t find any neato.cfg file example. Do somebody knows how it should look like?

My configuration:

addons.cfg

binding = modbus,knx,amazondashbutton,homematic,neato

neato.cfg (I think this is wrong)

vendor=Vorwerk
password=mypasswprd
email=myemail@test.de

neato.things

neato:vacuumcleaner:fanndamm [ serial="vacuumcleaner-serial", secret="secret-string"]

neato.items

Group GNeato

As neato is a v2 Binding, there is no neato.cfg at all. Instead please create a Thing of Type NeatoAccount and do the configuration (username, password)
After that step, go to your inbox and do a scan, it should find all Vacuums.

Hello Udo,

thanks, you are right. I haven’t thought about that.
But in this case the question is, how should the neato.things file should look like.

4

You don’t need a neato.things file. But if you want to use a neato.things file, the best way wood be, to create the bridge via Paper UI, then go to the REST API and get all information about the neato bridge. (get thing by thingID) With that information it should be possible to create the bridge via things file.

Hey,

did you get it up and running? I´m struggeling with the neato.things file. The bridge is working, but autodiscover fails. So I used pybotvac to get the serial and the secret for my VR300. I coppied them into the neato.things, but it doesn´t work. I´m getting the following error-message

Error when getting Robot State. Error message: Could not find robot_serial for specified vendor_name

Do I have to set a robot_serial and the vendor? And if so, where? This is how my neato.things looks like:

neato:vacuumcleaner:9fc6dd84:fanndamm (neato:neatoaccount:9fc6dd84) [ serial="mySerial", secret="mySecret" ]

Thanks a lot!

Okay, my fault. I´ve tried the official binding instead of the vorwerk-fork. Now everything works fine.

No, I haven’t the time to check it again. But thanks with your hint with the vorwerk-fork. Is it a jar file you downloaded separately? If yes, can you please add the link here?

Thanks and great Easter
