I don't disagree, but I think automation is cool, especially if you can keep it local (or have the tools to secure it on the internet). Valetudo can help make that possible. My current robot vacuum is pretty crappy, but it doesn't have cameras or mapping. My next will be one that has mapping and can be easily flashed with local hosting.
Flashing a dreame L10s was difficult but worth it. I'd recommend it if you have the expertise. I did end up having to buy a USB breakout board from eBay, though.
I have just enough skill with hardware to get away with it with some swearing.
