Sorry to necro but, you may be interested to hear that someone published a solution to controlling Neato locally on GitHub.

Unfortunately it requires a hardware modification in form of an ESP32 or similar board, but with it you should be able to use your Neato with Home Assistant, for example.

I haven't yet tested this myself, but the solution looks worth a look and the instructions seem clear enough.

As I've received the dreaded shutdown email, I'll be looking into this once I have more time to tinker.
