Roborock robot vacuums

One of the most studied brands. Most models can be driven over your home network after one cloud login; some can drop the cloud entirely.

What it can become

What owners already do with it, easiest first.

Easy~20 minNo risk

Drive it from your computer

Start, pause, clean one room, send it to a spot without cleaning, read its status. You log in to your Roborock account once to get the keys, then commands go over your network.

Keep it working without internet

A small server on your network plays the part of Roborock's cloud, so the robot keeps working when the internet or the vendor goes away.

Replace its software with Valetudo

Root the robot and run Valetudo: a local web app, no account, no cloud. Only some models can be rooted; check the supported list for yours first.
