Hey Community, I found this https://home-assistant-guide.com/guide/ online and my idea is to root a used Roborocks S5 with Valetudo and integrate it into HA… I was wondering if any of you have recommendations for good and „data friendly“ vacuum-robots to integrate into HA or experience with Valetudo https://valetudo.cloud/ that they might want to share?

I looked into valetudo but it seems pretty complex to get working on most models, so i gave up on the idea. I currently have a dumb roomba 767 integrate in home assistant with internet access blocked and it works fine except for constantly calling for mommy (roomba servers) and never going to sleep since the calls are never answered. It's been a year now and now noticeable ill effects so far thought. I'd like to upgrade to something with mapping thought, so i hope more people will chime inn here.
