I have a Dreametech L10s Ultra vacuum that HA recognizes via the Xiaomi Miot Auto integration. I'm trying to add a custom:xiaomi-vacuum-map-card to a dashboard, and the vacuum is recognized but the camera (which I guess is the map) isn't working due to "Invalid calbiration". But the calibration is whatever was automatically set by the card when I chose the vacuum. Hmmm.

I have the camera/map set in configuration.yaml as follows:

camera:
  - platform: xiaomi_cloud_map_extractor
    host: !secret xiaomi_vacuum_host
    token: !secret xiaomi_vacuum_token
    username: !secret xiaomi_cloud_username
    password: !secret xiaomi_cloud_password
    draw: ['all']
    attributes:
      - calibration_points
      - charger
      - cleaned_rooms
      - country
      - goto_path
      - goto_predicted_path
      - goto
      - ignored_obstacles_with_photo
      - ignored_obstacles
      - image
      - is_empty
      - map_name
      - no_go_areas
      - no_mopping_areas
      - obstacles_with_photo
      - obstacles
      - path
      - room_numbers
      - rooms
      - vacuum_position
      - vacuum_room_name
      - vacuum_room
      - walls
      - zones

This vacuum has not been Valetudo-ed - it's in new condition from the vendor.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I want to flash my vac with Valetudo - my goal is to run-only, no cloud. But I read through Valetudo's instructions and it's too scary for me. I don't think I have the skills to solder a board together and I barely understand all the steps. I can follow instructions, but there's one point where they say something like "do these few steps within 180 seconds or you may brick your vacuum" - that's too much risk for a ~$1000 vacuum. I didn't upgrade the firmware on my vac, so maybe someday the process will be slightly easier and I'll take the risk.

I specifically bought my vacuum as their recommendations say. I have flashed two Dreamee D9, it worked flawless. If you want i'll look into the manual for your's to state if the procediure is the same.

Edit: just looked it up. I did UART, not Fastboot method (which is required for yours)

Thanks for checking. So I'm still too scared at the moment. :)
