# eufy_robovac <!-- omit in toc -->
This is a cli script adapted from [Richard Mitchell's work](https://github.com/mitchellrj/eufy_robovac_). It abandons all the code for integrating with homeassistant in lieu of creating a portable binary to control the thing - either manually or with cron job.
# Requirements
# Compiling
This python script can be compiled to a single executable binary.
## Requirements
- linux machine
- git
- python 3.12 or higher
- python-cryptography package
- docker to compile (alternatively: pipenv and pyinstaller)
- device credentials
- docker
## Instructions
```
git clone https://gitea.raer.me/freyjagp/eufy_robovac.git
cd eufy_robovac
chmod +x compile
./compile
```
This will create a docker image then use it to compile an executable binary to `eufy_robovac/dist/vac`.
# Configuration
The device ID, ip address, and local code are required for this to work. They may be passed as arguments, or through a config file. The defalt path for the config file is `/etc/robovac.conf`. This can be altered with the `-c` or `--config` flags.
## Examples
### Command-line
Set config file to any arbitrary location:
```
robovac --config=/home/user/robovac.conf
```
Provide credentials inline:
```
robovac --device_id=DEVICE_ID --ip=192.168.1.1 --local_code=LOCAL_CODE
```
### Config file
```
[robovac]
device_id=DEVICE_ID
ip=192.168.1.1
local_code=LOCAL_CODE
```
[see here](config/robovac.conf.example)
# Usage
```
usage: vac [-h] [-c CONFIG] [--device_id DEVICE_ID] [--ip IP] [--local_code LOCAL_CODE] [--time TIME] [--pause] [--home] [--debug] [--verbose] [--quiet]
