GoKawiilVacuula project launches self-hosted server to revive bricked Neato robot vacuums
A new open-source project called Vacuula provides a self-hosted server that can repair and control Neato robot vacuums, including units left unusable after Neato's cloud services shut down. The tool currently supports Neato's Gen3 and Gen4 models (D3 through D10), with Gen2 BotVac Connected support still in development, and offers core features like maps, scheduling, zones and historical run data. Users set it up via Docker Compose or a Home Assistant add-on, running the server on their own hardware since it must stay online continuously.
