homebridge-xiaomi-roborock-vacuum: ERR connect | miio.device, next try in 2 minutes | Error: Network communication is unavailable, device might be destroyed

I totally agree, but it may be a starting point. I hope the traces would show a sudden change (consistently showing a similar behaviour every 30s and, when the connection is lost and errors start occurring, traces around that initial moment might give us some hints, hopefully).

If you think it’s not worth the effort, I understand. But then, I’d personally close this issue with the “works for me” label. No need to have a stale issue if nobody is going to try anything to solve it.

I have the exact same issue!

ERR connect | miio.device, next try in 2 minutes | Error: Network communication is unavailable, device might be destroyed

A Homebridge restart solved it. But occurs again after a day or two… I tried it with a complete new system under hoobs and got the same error. The firmware is the latest (3.5.7_002008)

Can you try running homebridge with the debug logs ON so we can see more verbose logs (hopefully they’ll help out). Please, set the environment variable DEBUG=“miio:,thing:”. If these are set, you’ll likely see logs like the ones below:

How exactly a do the debug mode you mentioned. then i can post that here!

here is the normal log:
