core: iRobot (roomba) integration fails to even configure

I was getting the same errors, removed the integration and tried readding it. Auto-discovery is no longer finding it even after a core restart or even a restart of my entire VM. If I add it manually, it cannot retrieve the password automatically, and if I manually put it in I get a failed to connect message.

This is the first error I see: Logger: roombapy.remote_client Source: /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/roombapy/remote_client.py:58 First occurred: 11:20:48 AM (3 occurrences) Last logged: 11:20:48 AM

Can’t connect to 192.168.50.77, error: [Errno 111] Connection refused

followed by:

There hasn’t been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates. Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍 This issue has now been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Oh. Mine is on another subnet. Does that really matter, I assumed it used the public API?

With me, it didn’t work at all when it was in another subnet without NATting the request from the subnet the iRobot was in. iRobot also doesn’t have any Internet Access so it it definitely using local control.

This integration should be removed after years of not working. HA does not support iRobot currently.

Working fine here after NATting the Traffic in the same subnet as the iRoomba is located in.

Getting a similar/same failed configuration error here. A few years ago, I had the Roomba integration successfully working via configuration.yaml, but had commented it out when we moved to a new house and am just trying to get it reconfigured now. I am using Home Assistant 2022.4.2 (Container)

Auto-discovery pops nothing up, and when I use Add Integration, I get the following error:

Config flow could not be loaded: undefined

This is the full log trace starting from hitting Add Integration:

I’m getting this same error message while trying to add the iRobot Roomba and Braava integration.

Config flow could not be loaded

I already have it configured but a lot of log errors ever since the 2021.12 update … something has broken!
