iRobot apparently just declared bankruptcy, so if you have an internet connected one and want to retain control if the cloud platform vanishes, take a look at https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980#how-to-get-your-usernameblid-and-password and stash that information somewhere safe (and note that it changes if you ever factory reset the device, so try not to do that)

@mjg59 unfortunately they removed all local position and mapping data in version 3 firmwares. At best you'll have a robot that continues to work exactly as you set it up with no way to change rooms or areas.

@exu yup. Still better to have something that works until you move house than something that can't do anything other than bounce around the room.

@mjg59 @exu Is that the wonderfully named "100 (1000) series" that I have? Never managed to get it to talk to dorita980. I guess it's just a ride-on vehicle for the cats now.
