Mine are showing as:
Firmware version:1.0.106-310C-FCC

163

Same firmware, my roomba has lost WiFi yet againā€¦

164

I might have to try your forced reset trick to get on the firmware you are on.

165

Check that, it was just dead, once I set on home base to charge it picked back up the wifi. ā€œEmergency Resetā€ fixed the wifi connectivity issue.

Just want to clarify, since we can configure the TC from its local IP, provided you can live with no ongoing support and potential wifi reliability issues, is that enough to keep this integration going? This needs the cloud to hook up to ST, no?

168

No. The dth communicates with your TCā€™s local ip.

I think Iā€™ve given up on this POSā€¦ I lost WiFi after battery died so I ordered a new lithium battery and now it wonā€™t configure and stay connectedā€¦

I purchased a Neato D3 which is not as powerful as my Roomba 880 but this module is quickly becoming garbage. I have also modified the NEATO DTH to fit my needs and will focus on improving that. Sorry all, itā€™s time to [DEPRECATE] this codeā€¦

Understandable, thank you for all the hard work you put into it for community!

171

Thank you all for your help in continuing this effort. I can no longer keep my module wifi connected so I have deprecated the thread. Also the thinkingsync.com is down againā€¦ I have migrated to the Neato Vac at the following link:

I have already modified the DTH to somewhat mimic this DTHā€¦ If you have my Github Integration, it is available thereā€¦

As soon as mine breaks, Iā€™m with you!

Keep your eyes out, I got my white D3 on Amazon for $213 2 weeks ago (It was only the white one that was that cheap)ā€¦

174

I have a roomba 581.
Can I get a schematic for a wemos D1?

175

Not sure exactly what your asking for? I only modified the SmartApp and DTH.

176

I need a diagram for the circuit that hooks up to the Roomba and the Arduino. Iā€™m not for sure what pins to hook up on the Roomba and where they would go on my wemos D1 Arduino board.

177

Sorry but I wouldnā€™t be able to answer that one. Not sure if anyone else would in this forum.

Thank You.

Please excuse any typos.

Sorry that this is an old thread but i was having the same issue. What i found was that when i connected the device via the Android app the last step screwed up everything and if i tried controlling it from the app. What i have done (and itā€™s been stable since)

  1. Use the app to reconnect roomba to wifi
  2. Right after it says its connected, before finishing with the app. I close the app and uninstall it
  3. Update the device in ST to ensure that the IP hasnā€™t changed.

This has worked for me.

Interestingly I got a notification and email the other day that my Roomba undocked and dockedā€¦ So I guess the thinkingcleaner servers still kinda work?

181

Youā€™re right, the thinkingsync.com site is working again. Ever since it went down, I have been using the web interface on the local ip instead of their app, and the ST device handler has been fine so I didnā€™t notice. Someone must have swapped out the gerbil powering the site or something. I guess I might try setting up the app againā€¦but I might just let a sleeping dog lie.

Very odd, but after @TylerDurden comment I reconnected to wifi and it is staying connectedā€¦
