Howdy. I have HAOS running in a Virtualbox VM on a computer on my private subnet (let’s call it the .150 subnet). All my IoT devices are on my .151 subnet. HA can see most of my IoT devices because I’m not currently isolating the subnets, but my vacuum is defying discovery because of UDP crossing the subnets. I’m sure...
That’s true. You must manually edit the up-to-6 config files to customize Homepage. It’s not difficult, but it’s not a GUI.
d.rymcg.tech is a docker-based self-hosting “platform”, and it includes Homepage and a way to configure it using your own custom homepage-config repo, but that might be a bit much to take on if you just want Homepage or if thisnkind of thing is outside of your skillset.
My new Dreametech L10s Ultra has been great so far and it does fine on my main floor (with the base station) and in my basement. But when I take it to my 2nd floor, it positions correctly and says “start cleaning”, but then it spins once and says “please return robot to the base station”. It already successfully mapped...
You’re correct! But there’s not a Dreametech or robot vacuum community, and I’m sure some people that use Home Assistant also use robot vacuums and might have some insight to offer.
As it turned out, the problem was that this particular robot is smart enough to know it shouldn’t start cleaning a floor without a base station if it’s going to have to dump it’s dirty mop water and refill with clean water, but it’s not smart enough to simply turn off the mopping function and just vacuum - you have to do that manually.
That’s the HACS integration I tried. Upon trying to add my vacuum, it asks for login to Xaiomi’s Miio cloud, and when I do it says there are no devices.
In Xaiomi Mii cloud, I can log into my account and indeed it says there are no devices. In the Xaiomi Home app on Android, my device is definitely there and I can control it. So if I assume that once the vacuum appears in Xaiomi Mii cloud then it will also integrate into Home Assistant, how do I get my device to appear in Xaiomi Mii cloud?
When you first installed this custom integration. And added your vacuum, did you have to log into Xiaomi Mii cloud? In your Mii cloud account, does your vacuum show as a device?
This seems to be a step in the right direction, I installed the Xiaomi Miot Auto integration and during configuration it found my L10s Ultra! However, it failed to add the it as a device due to this error:
So I found an explanation that there are sometimes problems discovering devices across subnets, and my L10s is in a different subnet than my Home Assistant. This seems odd to me, though, because Xiaomi Miot Auto saw my L10s and even knew it’s IP address - but perhaps that’s TCP and the problem is that UDP can’t cross subnets? The article says there are 2 ways to possibly overcome the cross-subnet issue: put the devices on the same subnet (currently not an option for me), and “configure IP masquearding on the outgoing routing interface for the subnet where the MI device resides.” With GPT’s help, I tried to add IP Masquerading (which I guess is just NAT), but it’s not working. I’m pretty confident I did it wrong. Can anyone help me configure my pfsense so that my L10s on one subnet can be discovered by Xiaomi Miot Auto on the other subnet?
Hey there, I’m a newbie when it comes to self-hosting and working with Docker. I’m looking to route traffic from a couple of my Docker containers (specifically, qBittorrent and Prowlarr) through a Wireguard container that’s hooked up to Mullvad. Any tips on how to set this up?...
This might be a bit much, depending on your experience with docker and bash, but I uae this framework/platform to selfhost many apps and services, and qbittorrent via wireguard (using mullvad) is one of them: d.rymcg.tech
That link is to the main page of the project, which explains how to set up and use the framework/platform. From that page, you can get to the qbit torrent-wireguard app, or here is a direct link: d.rymcg.tech/qbittorrent-wireguard.
Once you get used to the platform, it’s quite easy to use, very customizable and versatile, and follows good philosophy of seperating your data from the app. And while it may be more advanced than you’re looking for, it’s very well documented, making it pretty easy to just follow the required steps.
I have a few devices in my house that I purchased before I started smart-homing, and I’d like to gain some control over them. Before I started with Home Asisstant, I put together an rpi that could learn IR codes and transmit them, but it wouldn’t learn the IR codes for one of my devices - I assumed it was because the device...

I’m thinking of getting a Dreametech L10s Ultra robot vacuum/mop, but have a few remaining concerns/questions that I’m hoping someone who owns an L10s Ultra can help me with....
Thanks for sharing your experience rooting your D9. The “dongle” that rooting the L10s Ultra seems to require looks like its a bit harder to make. I wonder if any makers out there would make it and sell it to me, and for how much. But there’s still the scary 160 seconds.
Your idea for changing floor maps sounds doable, if Home Assistant’s automations can push map files to the L10s. I’d hate to have to manually change map files very time I moved the vacuum to another floor
Thanks for sharing your experience rooting your D10. It really helps to hear about it, especially since my rooting procedure should be the same. If you have some experience with that stuff and still had trouble (it sounds like you never got Valetudo installed), I seriously doubt I can do it.
But its great to hear that there’s a HACS integration for dreametechs!
I’m looking at the Dreametech L10s Ultra, which got a very good review here and which is supported by Valetudo. I really want a local-only product, but I reviewed the rooting instructions on Valtudo’s site and I don’t think I can do it. I’d need to solder my own PCB which I’ve never done, and the section of the actual software rooting that gives me 160 seconds to do a bunch of stuff right the first time or I risk bricking my $1000 device, is very scary. :(
As the title suggests, I’m in the market for a vacuum that doesn’t phone home, not even for initial setup (if possible). This is my first time stepping into home automation so I’m not familiar with the various FOSS projects in the space. I’m comfortable with modding/rooting the vacuum so throw your suggestions, I’ll...
Ugh - no responses in 2 months? I hope that’s not an indication that there are no such options. I’m also looking for a vacuum/mop that runs only locally. I learned of Valetudo, which might be what you’re looking for - but it’s too complex for me (I’m looking at the Dreametech L10s Ultra).
