eufy_robovac

This is a cli script adapted from Richard Mitchell's work. 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

• git
• python 3.12 or higher
• python-cryptography package
• docker to compile (alternatively: pipenv and pyinstaller)
• device credentials

Obtaining device credentials

tl;dr

use this repo and follow the instructions.

Instructions:

You'll need to install git, python3, build-essential, pipenv, libffi-dev, python3-dev, and libssl-dev with your package manager. Then you can do

git clone https://github.com/markbajaj/eufy-device-id-python
cd eufy-device-id-python
pipenv install
pipenv shell
python -m eufy_local_id_grabber "YOUR_EUFY_EMAIL" "YOUR_EUFY_PASSWORD"

This might not work and requires installing packages you may or may not want/need on your base os. We can do better.

With docker

1. Enter a shell within an ubuntu docker container

docker run -it ubuntu:latest bash

2. Set up your environment

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
apt update
apt install -y git python3 python3-venv python3-pip build-essential pipenv libffi-dev python3-dev libssl-dev

3. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/markbajaj/eufy-device-id-python.git
cd eufy-device-id-python

4. Install requirements

pipenv install

5. Get your credentials

pipenv shell
python -m eufy_local_id_grabber "YOUR_EUFY_EMAIL" "YOUR_EUFY_PASSWORD"

Output:

Home: <home ID>
Device: RoboVac, device ID <DEVICE_ID>, local key <LOCAL_KEY>

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

example config

• arbitrary config file: robovac --config=/home/user/robovac.conf
• argments: 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

Usage

usage: vac [-h] [-c CONFIG] [--device_id DEVICE_ID] [--ip IP] [--local_code LOCAL_CODE] [--time TIME] [--pause] [--home] [--debug] [--verbose] [--quiet]
