Mysensorized Roomba

parachutesj

Hi,
just wanted to share my POC:
We're having a cleaning robot since years. It has built in scheduler and cleans based on that no matter if anyone is home or not.
I wanted to change that; I do have the status of precence in OpenHAB.
I have just created a simple mySensor node (based on a light switch) which sends 3 different commands to roomba:
clean
dock
stop

In openHAB it is just defined as a light switch and I can build up a schedule and if someone is home, it delays the start of cleaning until all are gone.

ToDo:
See if I can fit the parts inside of the cleaning robot but for POC I am happy

Thanks for sharing this. You inspire me and i also made a similar solution during this weekend.

roomba620_mod

But I have a problem. Maybe you could answer or someone from the forum.
I can not wake up my vacuum (roomba 620) from the state of "suspension" to whose passes automatically after 5 minutes. (all diodes off). Complete code is on end of post.

0_1480953181292_upload-2cb7e05b-938a-4d19-b41e-fcb7f25e6327

From old documentation "Roomba_SCI_Spec_Manual.pdf" wake up should looks like this

ser.setRTS (0)
time.sleep (0.1)
ser.setRTS (1)
time.sleep (2)

I can do it "hardware". It means when my yellow cabel from "DD" during insertion into arduino pinMode(D3, OUTPUT) ... roomba weak up all times.

But when cable is connect to D3 permanently and try send few times signals like this.

	digitalWrite(D3, LOW); delay(10); 
	digitalWrite(D3, HIGHT); delay(2);

It didnt work.

Of course it wake up when i push button "clean" by finger. Did you have similar problem
My full code is little more complicate and right now looks like this:

Hi Eoreh

Maybe problem is in this line:
digitalWrite(D3, HIGHT); delay(2);

Did you defined HIGHT symbol?

Actually I did it this way:

void WakeUp()
{
  pinMode(DEVICE_DETECT_PIN, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(DEVICE_DETECT_PIN, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(DEVICE_DETECT_PIN, LOW);
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(DEVICE_DETECT_PIN, HIGH);
}

and it works flawlessly (Ihave other problem with hanging NRF24, but it is another case)

Eoreh

Hi !
My bad. I type mistake in post on forum. In code is good version. Of course You have right should be "HIGH"

But You give me some idea on "problem in line D3" . I plugin my logic analizer (Saleae) and bingo!. In my egz. arduino this port was "broken" and dont give any change signal. I plugin into D5 and all works.

I have one small issue / feature. After play song -> (in my code upper this song is Jingle bell for Chrismas) - roomba dont react on buttons. I think i will change this. Also statistic is very bad write. It's also for rewrite.

Now i have to do more test, and next make looking good case for "node" on roomba. (cos mother-in-law - kill me ). But right now im very happy.

Thank you @emka for your replay.

Hello Eoreh,

I have a older Roomba and had the same idea to control it by my sensors. I only did a other approach.
I did not mondify the Roomba with a serial interface and a MySensors node on the Roomba. But I did put a MySensors node on the docking station. And control the clean/spot/max command by imitation of the IR commands with a IR Led on the MySensors Node. And I also detect with my nod if the Roomba is in his dock charging or not. With this dock notification I measure the amount of time the Roomba is on its way before it returns to its dock charging (which is also a indication of the quality of the Roomba battery, short time away is a bad battery). I also measure the room temperature and humidity with the same node.
If you want to know the code let me know I show you.
With this approach you don't need to put anything on top of the Roomba which wil get broken off (is my experience) when its e.g. working under the bench.
See the pictures in the link of this setup: alt text

HI !.
@EmielA said:

I have only 1 dock station and many rooms :). My roomba dont going "under the bench" so i dont have experience like yours with sensor on top.

But will be interested looks for code in your approach so please show it.

Thank You.

Eoreh,

I used different pieces of code from different projects.and combined them to one sketch. I used some from this project : link text
And the sketch from the MySensors Relay Actuator. I switch the Node/Relay on for about 10 seconds and then off. In the 10 seconds the IR sends the CLEAN command. With a LDR I detect if the Roomba dock led is on or off. So I detect if the Roomba is on its dock. Here under the code I hope it helps you.

Maybe this is off topic but I'm going to buy a roomba but it is so many versions. Will roomba 615 or 616 do the job or is the newer versions smarter cleaner? I have around 80kvd

parachutesj

@Eawo I do have a 581 and not 100% sure what has been changed on newer models. Maybe you ask in a roomba forum

parachutesj

All,
I did some updates also thanks to @Eoreh I updated my code a bit. Anyhow, no really news on software side but was able to fit it more or less completely inside of the Roomba.

I wanted to fit all inside and I think there is enough space but wanted to be able to disable it and thought about a dip-switch somewhere but then decided to have it connected via DIN as before. Means also no soldering on Roomba
finding a spot was easy:

There is enough space on the side of the bin. (In picture, the external charging port was already removed)
I soldered all together and decided to opt for a Nano instead of a Pro Mini due to the lack of 3.3V on board. I know radio might be better powered with a voltage regulator but the reception and reliability is not too important here. Anyhow not experienced any issues so far. I also used the SMD radio to save some extra space.
The voltage regulator has a heat sink mounted which is pointing where the charing port was and is getting some "fresh air"
all in place and ready to be closed again
closed without top plate

If it stops working or needs a reset, I only need to unplug and replug

moskovskiy82

@parachutesj Mind posting your finished code?

Also wonder what is the correct MQTT payload to start for example cleaning?

Upon start i see the following

mys-out/15/255/3/0/11 MYS Roomba
mys-out/15/255/3/0/12 2.1
mys-out/15/0/0/0/3 Roomba-Stop
mys-out/15/1/0/0/3 Roomba-Dock
mys-out/15/2/0/0/3 Roomba-Clean
mys-out/15/3/0/0/3 Roomba-Spot
mys-out/15/4/0/0/3 Roomba-Max
mys-out/15/5/0/0/3 Roomba-Power
mys-out/15/6/0/0/3 Roomba-Play
mys-out/15/100/0/0/6 Roomba-Batt-Temp

mys-out/15/104/0/0/36 Roomba-Batt-CHt
mys-out/15/105/0/0/36 Roomba-Batt-CHs

But publishing to

mys-in/15/2/1/0/3
mys-in/15/2/1/0/2

with payload 1 doesn't do anything

gohan

Just a question, but wouldn't it be an esp8266 a more compact solution? (Not to mention the quick ota programming) Or the roomba is running 5v serial output?

parachutesj

@gohan ESP is probably a good alternative. but then again you could also buy an after market wireless module for your roomba.
I am not sure about the serial output, but I think it is 5v.

but there is plenty of space for a nano or pro mini. wemos mini or nodemcu should also fit

moskovskiy82

ESP is the best solution although couldn't find the code with sensors (only clean/dock commands). I recently made a post on HomeAssistant forum - how wemos D1 fits nicely inside. You only need a buck converter and 4 cat5 wires soldered. And 5V serial output is not such a big problem as you need a voltage divider only on rx pin (didn't put it)

P.S. But then one of those "machine revolt weeks happened" so my esproomba didn't respond and then i burned it down. Next day my RPi3 went down with HA and lots of goodies. And today ESXi...

gohan

Oh man, that sucks a lot. Best luck for your disaster recovery

i love this project. i am the owner of a roomba 620 and hooked it up to a arduino-mega. putting "clean()" in the code does what it should and the radiomodules are working fine. but it seems that i dont get values from the sensors and so nothing is showing up in homeassistant...

i checked the wiring about 5 times already and since starting for example "clean()" works i think it is a different issue...

did anyone else try this and ran into the same problem?

banda banda

there is plenty of space for a nano or pro mini. wemos mini or nodemcu should also fit
