Smartthings Roomba Control via Thinking Cleaner Version 1.5.1 Released

pmjoen · November 28, 2016, 6:13pm

@kolosy, thanks for the update. This also corrected my issue for install as you suggested. I have updated the code to fix as well as modified images, version, and reference to provide payment for support due to lack of support by original author (this looks to be community owned now). Here is the link to my github for the code, hope this works for everyone.

I updated my code to give it a try and I am getting the error message below. I removed the “default: false”. My error is slightly different in that the error line reports as 92.

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of
method: physicalgraph.app.api.SubscriptionApi.subscribe() is applicable
for argument types: (java.lang.Boolean, java.lang.String,
java.lang.String, java.util.LinkedHashMap) values: [false, switch.on,

Try to replace your code with the GitHub code.

pmusselman · November 28, 2016, 7:06pm

Thanks. Thought I had done that but I guess not. Tomorrow will be the true test for me to see if I can start without using the IFTTT method. Fingers crossed.

pmjoen · November 28, 2016, 7:16pm

What are you using to trigger it to turn on? This app just polls the roomba for status and if on it changes the SHM status to stay(arm) and then when off away(arm) it does not auto start cleaning. I use CoRE to start cleaning.

Benji · November 28, 2016, 10:57pm

I use Smart Lighting

K.I.S.S.

kolosy · November 29, 2016, 4:05am

I use the automated Goodbye routine… works well enough for me.

pmjoen · November 29, 2016, 10:53pm

I have updated the DTH to 1.5.2 to resolve an error handling issue with error notification while Roomba is switching from docked to cleaning and cleaning to docked. Also added 2 new status updates for off and wait that I experienced today (also reduced errors).

Thank you for everything you’ve done for this integration, I think it’s about time you started your own thread that you control the first post since you’ve very much made this your own now.

pmjoen · November 30, 2016, 2:35am

Thanks @Benji, I am ok with staying in this forum unless you guys feel we should start a new community thread for this redesigned version and ownership. I have also reached out to Thinking Cleaner to see if we can get the error number when it occurs on the device. I want to be able to provide error details when they occur.

Benji · November 30, 2016, 4:02am

My vote is for a new thread, the title is out of date anyway. I don’t want to create more work for you but I definitely feel this is your work now and any donations should be going to you instead, along with you having control over the very first post.

Let me know if Thinking Cleaner respond, I’ve emailed on and off with the guy over there (I think it’s a solo effort) and he’s been very helpful with some of the issues I’ve experienced with the module directly. He/They need to realise it’s efforts like yours that are selling their modules.

I have added my Roomba to the Goodbye Automation however I am having a problem. The command is sent to the Roomba (confirmed by a beep) but the Roomba doesn’t start.

Alternatively, if I navigate thru the list of THINGS, find the Roomba, and try to use the CLEAN button, I get a beep. It is only after I press the CLEAN button again when the Roomba then leaves its dock to clean.

Anyone help?

We have a new thread with an updated DTH and Smart App, as I have taken over development efforts due to lack of previous support. The new link is:

[Deprecated] Thinking Cleaner 2.x (Roomba Control) Community Created Device Types

If you have a Roomba and want it to clean your home with the magic and control of Smartthings, this is for you! Using this device type and smart app you can integrate your Roomba with the Thinking Cleaner wifi module and control when and how it cleans your house. This original Device Type and Smart App was created by @sidjohn1 but due to lack of support, I have been requested by the community members to continue my improvements and customization in a new thread. I will continue attempting to support this Device Type and Smart App and only ask that if you appreciate my efforts please donate to my preferred local charity as a thank you: You will need to have the Thinking Cleaner wifi module installed on your Roomba per the below link. Thinking Cleaner: http://www.thinkingcleaner.com T…

Please upgrade to the latest versions and re-try but make sure one one have the latest version of both the DT and Smartapp.

RangerBob316 · December 13, 2016, 1:35am

I replaced the code for the device type and handler from the new thread. Still have the issues that the roomba doesn’t leave the base.
Once I hit CLEAN, the roomba makes its startup sound but never leaves unless I hit clean several times.
Ideas?

pmjoen · December 14, 2016, 1:27am

Please visit the new thread for troubleshooting, the original thread creator is no longer offering support so the ownership/support have moved to the new thread…
