I’m considering buying a robot vacuum cleaner, but I’m not a fan of the idea that it would scan my apartment and send data to the cloud.
I came across the Valetudo project, and it looks promising. It doesn’t replace the firmware - just replaces the cloud connection with local automation systems instead. Has anyone here used it? Or are you using something else for local control? I’d love to hear your experience 🙂
There is Valetudo project, that spoofs vacuums external cloud connections to your locally hosted server.
Also AFAIK there are vacuums with only Bluetooth connectivity to configure them from a phone, with no Wi-Fi and cloud bullshit.
