The robot vacuum starts at the scheduled time - but the mop is already finished or the water tank is empty. This can be easily automated with Home Assistant, regardless of whether you're using a new or older model. Provided there are a few sensors and values, but these are almost always available. We'll go through the whole thing using the example of my Roborock S7, which comes without a suction station or anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For detailed instructions and explanations of all configuration options, I recommend watching the YouTube video linked below. This video goes into detail about each individual setting, providing you with comprehensive instructions on how to set everything up correctly.

Older models in particular (such as the Roborock S7) do not have their own sensors for this.<br>But with a trick, you can let Home Assistant take over exactly these tasks - cleverly and reliably. You only have to carry out the maintenance tasks yourself, but that's not a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don't need any additional sensors or smart modules to monitor the water level. The automation uses your robot's existing status data and combines it with a simple but effective counting system. This not only lets you know immediately when the tank is empty, but also allows you to control the maintenance intervals for the mop cloth. This saves you time, improves cleaning performance and ensures that you are not surprised when the robot wipes \"dry\" again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-was-ist-home-assistant\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Was_ist_Home_Assistant\"><\/span>What is Home Assistant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Home Assistant is an open-source platform for home automation that aims to connect all devices in the home and control them centrally. It was developed to provide a unified user interface and simple, flexible control for a wide range of smart home devices from different ecosystems. Here are some points in favor of Home Assistant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Compatibility<\/strong>Home Assistant supports thousands of devices and services from various manufacturers, including lighting, air conditioning, heating, cameras, weather sensors, voice assistants and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Local control<\/strong>Unlike many commercial smart home platforms that rely on cloud services, Home Assistant runs locally on your network. This means increased privacy and reliability, as your smart home devices work even without an active internet connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automation and scenes<\/strong>One of the main features of Home Assistant is the ability to create complex automations and scenarios. For example, you can have lights turn on automatically when it gets dark, or turn on the heating when the temperature drops below a certain level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simple user interface<\/strong>Home Assistant offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to monitor and control devices. This interface is fully customizable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integration with voice assistants<\/strong>Home Assistant can be integrated with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to enable voice-controlled control of your smart home devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open source and community-driven<\/strong>Since Home Assistant is open source, it is supported by an active community that is constantly developing new integrations and improving existing ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Data protection and security<\/strong>As a locally running platform, Home Assistant has the advantage that the data remains within its own network. This protects privacy and increases security compared to cloud-based solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, Home Assistant is a powerful and flexible solution for those who want to design their own smart home and control their devices centrally, regardless of the manufacturer or ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"atkp-container atkp-grid_3_columns-box  atkp-template-grid_3_columns\">\n            <div class=\"atkp-clearfix atkp-box-3-cols\">\n                            <div class=\"atkp-box atkp-smallbox atkp-box-3-cols-item atkp-clearfix\">\n                    <div class=\"atkp-thumb\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"atkp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41+TU915rCL._SL160_.jpg\"\n                                 alt=\"roborock Qrevo series vacuum robot with mopping function, 8000Pa suction power(improved from Qrevo S), anti-matting side brush, obstacle avoidance, LiDAR navigation, all-in-one dock, white(QV 35A Set)\"\/>\n                                            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"atkp-content\">\n                                                    <a class=\"atkp-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B0DSLB5ZQ8?tag=sasbro0a-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Buy now at Amazon\">roborock Qrevo series vacuum robot with mopping function, 8000Pa suction power(improved from Qrevo S), anti-matting side brush, obstacle avoidance, LiDAR navigation, all-in-one dock, white(QV 35A Set)*<\/a>\n                                                <div class=\"atkp-author\">by roborock<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"atkp-bottom\">\n                        <div class=\"atkp-ratingbar\">\n                                                            <div class=\"atkp-rating\"><span class=\"atkp-star atkp-star-0 atkp-star-00\" title=\"0.00 of 5 stars\"><\/span><\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"atkp-primelogo\"><\/div>\n                            <div class=\"atkp-clearfix\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                    <span class=\"atkp-price atkp-saleprice\">\n                                Price: \u20ac 349.98\n                                                                    <span class=\"atkp_price atkp-baseprice\"><\/span>\n                                                            <\/span>\n                                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/dp\/B0DSLB5ZQ8?tag=sasbro0a-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Buy now at Amazon\" class=\"atkp-button\">Buy now on Amazon*<\/a>\n                        \n                        \n                                                    <span class=\"atkp-priceinfo\">Price incl.

At this moment, a notification is sent to your smartphones with the title \"Empty dust bin\" and the message \"Robot vacuum cleaner should be emptied after 250 m\u00b2\".

The value of the sensor is then <code>sensor.roborock_s7_total_clean_area<\/code> into the variable <code>input_number.last_empty_value<\/code> to save the new status for the next calculation.
