=====
A simple command-line python script to drive a robot vacuum. Currently
works only with the Ecovacs Deebot N79, as that's what I have.
Right now this code offered more as inspiration than something for other
people to just download and use. But if you'd like to help flesh it out,
send email to my first name at williampietri.com.
If you do try to use it, you'll need to create ~/.config/sucks.conf. It
should look something like this:
```
user=20170101abcdef0123456
domain=ecouser.net
resource=abcdef01
secret=[long base64 string]
vacuum=[robot id]@126.ecorobot.net
```
I got these values by using
[xmppeek](https://www.beneaththewaves.net/Software/XMPPPeek.html)
to do a man-in-the-middle attack on
the android app. You can use the included log_clean.py script to generate
a config from a captured session. (I suspect that the Android app re-keys
the connection on a regular basis, as the secret was changing regularly
up until I cleared the Android app's data from my phone.)
If you're curious about the protocol, I have [a very rough
doc](protocol.md) started. I'll happily accept pull requests for it.
Why the project name? Well, a) it's ridiculous that I needed to MITM
my own vacuum. This is not the future I signed up for. There should
be a nice, tidy RESTful API. That would be easy enough to make. And b),
it's a vacuum.
## To Do
* add probabilistic cleaning options
* implement more commands
* add a status commmand
