node-red-contrib-ecovacs-deebot 0.4.12

Node-RED node for Ecovacs Deebot vacuum cleaner

npm install node-red-contrib-ecovacs-deebot

Ecovacs Deebot node for Node-RED

Node-RED node for running Ecovacs Deebot vacuum cleaner robots.

There's also initial support for some yeedi models (experimental).

This node uses the ecovacs-deebot.js library.

Features

Some noteworthy features are:

• Basic cleaning functions (e.g. auto clean, spot area, custom area etc.)
• and various other commands (e.g. play sound, reset consumables, relocate position etc.)
• Retrieve basic information (e.g. battery level, cleaning log, consumable, cleaning and charging status etc.)
• and various extended information (e.g. charging position, current map, network information)
• Retrieve information during the cleaning process (e.g. current position and current spot area)
• Set basic and advanced settings (e.g. continuous cleaning, do-not-disturb mode, TrueDetect 3D, volume etc.)
• Adjustment of vacuum power and water level
• Function for loading the current map image

Usage

Ecovacs account

First you have to configure the Ecovacs (or yeedi) account:

• "Name" (optional)
• "Login" (Ecovacs or yeedi)

Models

Supported models

• Deebot OZMO 920/950
• Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI
• Deebot X1 Turbo

Other models

The following models should work properly or at least partially. They are either already known to work or are technically similar to these models. Nevertheless, the functionality may be partially limited.

I try to achieve a wide range of functionality, but decide this case by case depending on complexity and various other criteria. There is of course no claim to full functionality.

Ecovacs Deebot

• Deebot N8 series
• Deebot T8 series
• Deebot T9 series
• Deebot T10 series
• Deebot T20 series
• Deebot X1 series
• Deebot X2 series

Airbot

• Airbot Z1

yeedi

• yeedi k650
• yeedi 2 hybrid
• yeedi vac hybrid
• yeedi vac max
• yeedi vac 2 pro

Note: The lists may not be fully complete

Legacy models (soon to be discontinued)

Legacy models that use XML for data transport (e.g. Deebot OZMO 930, Deebot 900/901) are mostly still working, but support for these models will be discontinued sooner or later.

Please check this readme for more information.

Installation

It is recommended to use version 16.x or 18.x of Node.js.

The minimum required version is 14.x, but support for this version may will be dropped soon.

This node uses the node-canvas library for some map-related functionality which may require the installation of some additional packages.

The installation of canvas is optional and not necessary for models without map functionality, but for full functional range please install the following packages.

For Debian-based Linux systems the following commands should be executed:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev librsvg2-dev

Installation for canvas on alpine based systems (e.g. Node-RED docker container):

apk add --no-cache build-base g++ cairo-dev jpeg-dev pango-dev giflib-dev

A reboot might be necessary before executing the next command

npm install canvas --unsafe-perm=true

For instructions for other systems visit https://www.npmjs.com/package/canvas#compiling

Known issues

• There's a strange behavior of the battery value on Deebot 900/901. It's very likely that this is a firmware bug
• "Edge" command does not work with Deebot U2 (starts auto clean instead)
• The cleaning log has an empty result on T9 series
• The combined map data object does not work with T9 series
• The generation of map images is currently not stable on 32-bit systems
