Original question by @Shatur@lemmy.ml

I'm considering buying a robot vacuum cleaner, but I'm not a fan of the idea that it would scan my apartment and send data to the cloud.

I came across the Valetudo project, and it looks promising. It doesn’t replace the firmware - just replaces the cloud connection with local automation systems instead. Has anyone here used it? Or are you using something else for local control? I'd love to hear your experience 🙂

I've had a Dreame D9 running Valetudo for nearly 4 years. It's been great.

I've had it on 2 dreame vacuums for a couple years. It works as advertised.
