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?

Sure do! I loosely followed this guide, but ended up rolling my own code: https://www.thesmarthomehookup.com/upgrade-your-old-roomba-to-a-smart-botvac-for-5/
