Hi all,
My first post here - sorry if I post in a wrong forum. Please advise if so!
I have been using HC2 for a number of years - and recently migrated to HC3.
I have some 40+ devices hooked up to my Fibaro HC3 - and I was wondering if there is some nice way to control my Roomba from HC...
A few years ago I made a quick integration to my door lock/security system - so when the alarm is disarmed an alarm switch turns off and that turns off a Fibaro switch (and on if armed). The alarm isn't controlled by Fibaro otherwise...
This works great - and in this way I can turn off lights, adjust temperature etc. just by arming the house (and vice versa).
But I'd like my Roomba to start vacuuming when I arm the house (rather than these annoying schedules that seem to run everytime I'm home... :S) ... and I've been struggling a bit with how to do the integration between Roomba and HC3.
Today I finally got it to work by using IFTTT (by creating an applet that monitors my Fibaro switch - through the Fibaro Cloud - and turns on/off my Roomba through the iRobot cloud...)...
It works - but I was wondering if there is a "smarter way"? I mean... creating an applet is really simple, but going into a 3rd party cloud service to integrate with two devices that are on my local network seem... weirdly complex...
Have anyone found a neater way to integrate Roomba and Fibaro (HC3)?
