Without Valetudo I wouldn’t have considered buying a robot vacuum in the first place.

The software is mature and the community is available to help new users root their robots. Just do not expect it to work with random robots (stick to supported robots) nor for every feature to be supported.

I strongly advice everyone to read the documentation thoroughly (especially Why not Valetudo and [FAQ] (https://valetudo.cloud/pages/faq.html)) before getting involved.
