Sorry been dealing with the flu. And trying to figure out how docker works. In the meantime, if you’re technical these are the steps at a high level,

  • Install Python-miio (https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio)
  • Get your vacuum token (explained in the python-miio docs)
  • Install Node.js and the Express web server
  • Run the ugly code below, using the IP and token of your vacuum
  • Create a simulated switch in the IDE
  • Create a WebCoRE piston that makes a web request to the Express server when the switch is turned on (/start) and off (/home).

It’s all pretty rough and ugly at this point, but it does work. If there are any real ST developers who can make this be awesome, that’s our best case scenario.

// https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio

const express = require(‘express’)
const app = express()
const port = 3000

var exec = require(‘child_process’).execFile;

app.get(’/’, (request, response) => {
response.send(‘Hello from Express!’)
})

app.get(’/start’, (request, response) => {
response.send(‘Sending start command.’)
console.log(“Sending start command.”);
exec(‘C:\Users\Zac\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\MIROBO.exe’, [’–ip’, ‘192.168.1.160’, ‘–token’, ‘your token here’, ‘start’], function(err, data) {
console.log(err)
console.log(data.toString());
});
})

app.get(’/home’, (request, response) => {
response.send(‘Sending home command’)
console.log(“Sending home command”);
exec(‘C:\Users\Zac\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\MIROBO.exe’, [’–ip’, ‘192.168.1.160’, ‘–token’, ‘your token here’, ‘home’], function(err, data) {
console.log(err)
console.log(data.toString());
});
})

app.listen(port, (err) => {
if (err) {
return console.log(‘something bad happened’, err)
}

console.log(`server is listening on ${port}`)

})
