I was able to flash my Dreame D9 pretty easily. I had to use little wires off of a usb dongle which I got both off of Amazon. It looks like they sell a dongle on the Valetudo site specifically for Dreame devices that might be worth it in your case. https://github.com/Hypfer/valetudo-dreameadapter

I remember coming across a thread somewhere about creating an automaton to replace map files for different floors in your house but I can’t seem to come across it again. You could map each floor, export the file, then restore floor map files as you move the vacuum to other floors.

Yeah, I was wondering if the goal of the article (using bridges) is available without federation and having it open to the internet…

Not OP, but also curious about number 5, I noticed that blog article loaded lickety-split!

Was curious how many watts this machine pulls? Also curious if you had ever filled it will spinning disks - would flash be less power hungry?
