A man trying to steer his DJI robot vacuum with a PlayStation gamepad gained audio and video into 7K homes. Now DJI awards $30K for research, perhaps that research.

can you imagine, what if we could self host a robot vacuum? like a roomba communicating w a home server?

In case you weren’t joking, there’s an excellent project called valetudo that allows you to neuter the phone-home capabilities of supported models of these dodgy chinese spyware machines that happen to also clean your house, with very decent home assistant compatibility.

If you’re buying a 1k+ $£€ robot, make sure you really own it properly and hack it.

i wasnt joking. thats pretty cool thanks for sharing
