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).
Feel free to leave any feedback [here](https://github.com/naofireblade/homebridge-neato/issues).
If you update from a previous version 0.3.x you have to adapt your config.

\* Available after some seconds of cleaning.
## 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 settings that are disabled when not specified.
The parameter **refresh** adjusts in what interval (seconds) changes of the robot state will be pushed to homekit. The minimum refresh time is 60 seconds. You need this only when you set up rules based on the robot state and start him outside of homekit (e.g. with the Neato app).
The parameter **extraCareNavigation** determines if supporting models (currently Neato D3 and D5) should take extra care of your furniture while cleaning.
```json
"platforms": [
{
"platform": "NeatoVacuumRobot",
"email": "YourEmail",
"password": "YourPassword",
"refresh": "120",
"extraCareNavigation": true
}
]
```
## Tested robots
- BotVac Connected (Firmware 2.2.0)
- BotVac D5 Connected
