Wyze Vacuum Beta Firmware Bug - Multi Level Floors

I think with the newer/beta version of the Wyze Vacuum, the protobuf map definition _robot_map_proto has changed so some users are experiencing crashing when asking for sweep_rooms

See here for examples of crashing - https://github.com/romedtino/simple-wyze-vac/issues/9

I’m not too familiar with how it all ties together but I know in the beta firmware they are testing multi-level maps so I’m thinking it’s most likely because of this.

Hi @romedtino,

Thanks for reporting this. I haven’t tried the new firmware on my own vacuum, but someone else reported this same issue so I don’t mind give it a look.

Bear with me while I find a little bit of time to work on it.

Oh this is super helpful. No one else has chimed in that actually is running that firmware.

The original issue(s) were around the map being improperly parsed in certain conditions. I don’t think this was directly related to multi-floor mappings, but rather to changes in the protobuf structure over time.

I actually have not ever understood what was needed to “support” multi-floor. But, from what you are saying, you simply need to be able to set which map the vacuum thinks is current? Without the multi-floor map firmware, I’ve not ever seen what that looks like from the app.

If there’s anything I’m missing, please let me know. However, in order to resolve this, I’ll need you to share the vacuum with my wyze account temporarily so I can see what the map options are. My account is shaun <at> tarves <dot> net

Sorry for being late to the party but perhaps I can be of some help. I was an original beta tester for the Wyze robovac and am still running that unit. My firmware version is currently at 1.6.173 and I do have the multi floor capability although I am not using it at the moment because I only have 1 charging station. I am also the author of homebridge-wyze-robovac which sits on top of wyze-sdk and makes the vacuum and all the rooms of the current map visible to HomeKit. (Siri). I just installed wyze-sdk 1.4.0 and all the previous functionalities (vacuum a particular room, vacuum all rooms, stop vacuuming and return to charge, report current battery level) that I use are working just fine.

Regarding multiple floors, exactly what functionality are you providing? What I would like to see is a list of available maps and be able to make one of them the ‘current’ map. Choosing a new map would cause the list of rooms to change but otherwise everything would be the same.

If you have something I can try I would love to try to incorporate it into my homebridge plugin. Thanks!
