Any suggestions for a good robot vacuum + mop? (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone!

I currently have a Neato D7 with a broken brush motor. It's 3 years old, so no more warranty.

Given that Neato is shutting down, I want to buy a new vacuum altogether.

Here's my wishlist:

Home Assistant integration (duh)
Vacuum + mopping
Local control would be cherry on top
LIDAR navigation (we run it mostly during the night)
Easy to service & reliable (should be easy to service the robot and buy replacement parts)

Any suggestions / recommendations?

With valetudo you should be able to accomplish what you're looking for. They also have a list of supported vacuums my friend owns the Dreamtech Z10 and highly recommends it. I'm waiting for my current Wyze hand me down to kick the can then I plan on picking it up :)

Valetudo looks great! Bit hacky, but I should be able to manage. Also funny to read you're waiting for an IoT device to give up the ghost in order to buy a better alternative. Sounds familiar! Is that something universal for smart home owners? :D
