I'm thinking about buying a robo #vacuum. For sure i don't want it to contact manufacturer servers (privacy/dependency). ... i don't have to explain you probably.

I discovered the project #valetudo. Sounds really good. Does someone have experience how good it rooting device and afterwards using it works and give some tipps what to do?

@matze I've been using valetudo for a couple of months now. It's a great piece of software, so far no issues.

What I would recommend though is to *very* carefully read the instructions and caveats before buying a robot. There are some potential pitfalls, and the steps vary a lot by model.

I'm using this one: https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots/#l10s-pro-ultra-heat

One downside is that there is no community to ask for help, because the creator of Valetudo explicitly does not want that. Instead there are some telegram chats run by him, where you can ask for help, and he's a bit trigger-happy with banning people if he does not like the way questions are asked.
