    I put a wemos d1 mini in mine since all I need to do is mash the existing Clean button. The internal MCU runs on 3.3v, the buttons are pulled low and activated by the same 3.3v rail, so all I had to do was flash it with ESPhome and wire the low side of the buttons to a gpio. I wanted to read the LED state but the multiplex scheme wasn’t worth decoding. I did use the single analog pin to measure battery voltage, and an input for the roller and blower motors.

      Well done. I can’t tell if you’re shitposting or if this is legitimately the simplest home automation setup.

      Ah nice, so they work completely without internet? I somehow assumed they will need internet for first setup

        I bought them used, so I don’t know about initial setup if you bought a brand new one. But yeah the shark isn’t even on my wifi, just the esphome.
