Using an external application running on a Raspberry Pi, I’ve managed to get Neato Botvac Connected working with SmartThings very nicely. I had to modify the ThinkingCleaner device type.
There has been a breakthrough on the Neato Connected API
I’m currently trying to install the Ruby Neato API web server on a Pi and getting ST to interface with that by modifying the ThinkingCleaner device type.
It looks like that the client generates a security certificate in order to communicate with the Neato API so not sure whether the logic can be ported into a ST device handler to remove the need for the Ruby web application.
UPDATE: If anyone is interested, I have managed to get the Ruby based Neato Botvac gateway running on a Pi and have SmartThings talking to this. I managed to modify the great work that Sidney Johnson did on the Thinking Cleaner device type. If anyone is interested, happy to share the modified device handler.
