MQTT Vacuum

The mqtt component allows you to control your MQTT-enabled vacuum.

To add your MQTT vacuum to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
vacuum:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "MQTT Vacuum"
    supported_features:
      - turn_on
      - turn_off
      - pause
      - stop
      - return_home
      - battery
      - status
      - locate
      - clean_spot
      - fan_speed
      - send_command
    command_topic: "vacuum/command"
    battery_level_topic: "vacuum/state"
    battery_level_template: ""
    charging_topic: "vacuum/state"
    charging_template: ""
    cleaning_topic: "vacuum/state"
    cleaning_template: ""
    docked_topic: "vacuum/state"
    docked_template: ""
    fan_speed_topic: "vacuum/state"
    fan_speed_template: ""
    set_fan_speed_topic: "vacuum/set_fan_speed"
    fan_speed_list:
      - min
      - medium
      - high
      - max
    send_command_topic: 'vacuum/send_command'

Basic Configuration variables:

  • name (Optional): The name of the vacuum. Defaults to MQTT Vacuum.
  • supported_features (Optional): List of features that the vacuum supports (possible values are turn_on, turn_off, pause, stop, return_home, battery, status, locate, clean_spot, fan_speed, send_command). Defaults to turn_on, turn_off, stop, return_home, status, battery, clean_spot.
  • command_topic (Optional): The MQTT topic to publish commands to control the vacuum.

Advanced Configuration variables:

  • qos (Optional): The maximum QoS level of the state topic. Defaults to 0. Will also be used when publishing messages.
  • retain (Optional): If the published message should have the retain flag on or not. Defaults to false.
  • payload_turn_on (Optional): The payload to send to the command_topic to begin the cleaning cycle. Defaults to turn_on.
  • payload_turn_off (Optional): The payload to send to the command_topic to turn the vacuum off. Defaults to turn_off.
  • payload_return_to_base (Optional): The payload to send to the command_topic to tell the vacuum to return to base. Defaults to return_to_base.
  • payload_stop (Optional): The payload to send to the command_topic to stop the vacuum. Defaults to stop.
  • payload_clean_spot (Optional): The payload to send to the command_topic to begin a spot cleaning cycle. Defaults to clean_spot.
  • payload_locate (Optional): The payload to send to the command_topic to locate the vacuum (typically plays a song). Defaults to locate.
  • payload_start_pause (Optional): The payload to send to the command_topic to start or pause the vacuum. Defaults to start_pause.
  • battery_level_topic (Optional): The MQTT topic subscribed to receive battery level values from the vacuum.
  • battery_level_template (Optional): Defines a template to define the battery level of the vacuum.
  • charging_topic (Optional): The MQTT topic subscribed to receive charging state values from the vacuum.
  • charging_template (Optional): Defines a template to define the charging state of the vacuum.
  • cleaning_topic (Optional): The MQTT topic subscribed to receive cleaning state values from the vacuum.
  • cleaning_template (Optional): Defines a template to define the cleaning state of the vacuum.
  • docked_topic (Optional): The MQTT topic subscribed to receive docked state values from the vacuum.
  • docked_template (Optional): Defines a template to define the docked state of the vacuum.
  • fan_speed_topic (Optional): The MQTT topic subscribed to receive fan speed values from the vacuum.
  • fan_speed_template (Optional): Defines a template to define the fan speed of the vacuum.
  • set_fan_speed_topic (Optional): The MQTT topic to publish commands to control the vacuum’s fan speed.
  • fan_speed_list (Optional): List of possible fan speeds for the vacuum.
  • send_command_topic (Optional): The MQTT topic to publish custom commands to the vacuum.

Default MQTT Protocol

The above configuration for this component expects an MQTT protocol like the following.

Basic Commands

MQTT topic: vacuum/command

Possible MQTT payloads:

  • turn_on - Begin cleaning
  • turn_off - Turn the Vacuum off
  • return_to_base - Return to base/dock
  • stop - Stop the Vacuum
  • clean_spot - Initialize a spot cleaning cycle
  • locate - Locate the vacuum (typically by playing a song)
  • start_pause - Toggle the vacuum between cleaning and stopping

Set Fan Speed

MQTT topic: vacuum/set_fan_speed

Possible MQTT payloads:

  • min - Minimum fan speed
  • medium - Medium fan speed
  • high - High fan speed
  • max - Max fan speed

Send Custom Command

MQTT topic: vacuum/send_command

MQTT payload for send_command can be an arbitrary value handled by the vacuum’s MQTT-enabled firmware.

Status/Sensor Updates

MQTT topic: vacuum/state

MQTT payload:

{
    "battery_level": 61,
    "docked": true,
    "cleaning": false,
    "charging": true,
    "fan_speed": "off"
}
