All parameters are *optional*. **refresh** Timer for periodic refresh of robot state. The default is `auto`. The options are: `auto` Updates the robot state when a cleaning was started via homekit so that you can activate automations based on a successful cleaning. `120` Or any other time in seconds (minimum `60`) is required if you want to receive robot state updates after starting the cleaning from outside of homekit (e.g. neato app or schedule). `0` Disables background updates completely. **hidden** List of plugin features that you don't want to use in homekit (e.g. `dock`, `dockstate`, `eco`, `nogolines`, `extracare`, `schedule`, `find`, `spot`). ```json "platforms": [ { "platform": "KoboldVacuumRobot", "token": "YourToken", "refresh": "120", "hidden": ["dock", "dockstate", "eco", "nogolines", "extracare", "schedule", "find", "spot"] } ] ``` ## Tested robots - Vorwerk Kobold VR300
