This is a plugin for [homebridge](https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge) to control your [Neato](https://www.neatorobotics.com/) vacuum robot. You can download it via [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-neato).

If you like this plugin, I would be very grateful for your support:

## Installation

1. Install homebridge using: `npm install -g homebridge`
2. Install this plugin using: `npm install -g homebridge-neato`
3. If you don't have a Neato account yet create one [here](https://www.neatorobotics.com/create-account/).
4. Update your configuration file. See the sample below.

## Configuration

Add the following information to your config file. Change the values for email and password.

### Simple

```json
"platforms": [
	{
		"platform": "NeatoVacuumRobot",
		"email": "YourEmail",
		"password": "YourPassword"
	}
]
```

### Advanced

The following config contains advanced optional settings.

The parameter **refresh** is default set to auto and updates the robot state when the cleaning was started via homekit so that you can activate automations after the cleaning is done. If you want to get robot state updates after starting the cleaning from the neato app or a schedule, you have to set refresh to a static value in seconds e.g. `120`. You can disable background updates completely by setting this to `0`.

The parameter **disabled** accepts a list of switches/sensors that can be disabled in the neato homekit plugin (e.g. `dock`, `dockstate`, `eco`, `schedule`, `findme`, `spot`, `spotrepeat`, `spot4x4`).

```json
"platforms": [
	{
		"platform": "NeatoVacuumRobot",
		"email": "YourEmail",
		"password": "YourPassword",
		"refresh": "120",
		"disabled": ["dock", "dockstate", "eco", "nogolines", "extracare", "schedule", "spot"]
	}
]
```
