valetudo: Roborock Gen1 crashes

Roborock S50 crashes at the end of each run A few weeks ago I installed Valetudo on my gen1. Up until flashing it worked flawlessly. Since flashing every run fails at the end. The robot just stops, is unreachable and when it’s put back in the dock it restarts 10 seconds later, and all is fine. Nothing to be found in logs. Thought it might be battery, but data shows that it’s at ~ 50% if it stops sending to mqtt due to the crash. Started with Valetudo RE 0.9.2 and prebuild pacakage vacuum_valetudo_re_4007.pkg, because of the crashes and hoping for a fix I installed Valetudo RE 0.9.4 but that didn’t help.

The robot is vlanned, and has zero internet access. It is only allowed local dns (pihole). All is working flawlessly until the sudden crash, it has only done 2 completed runs out of 40 runs after flashing.

Did someone experience the same behavior?

How to Reproduce Just starting a run, almost certain guaranteed to fail at around 90% of the run.

Expected behavior No crashes

Vacuum Model: First roborock, Gen1

Valetudo Version: 0.9.2

I observe similar behavior of my Gen 1 robot i think since 0.9.5. (not sure). Robot just stops in the middle of cleaning process. It is not responsive, even if i press buttons. Putting it back to docking station was the only solution so far. I even started thinking about buying new battery pack. Hmm… Maybe i should try to rollback to 0.8.x and see what happens.

I’ve installed the current prebuild on a Gen1 without any errors, so I can’t confirm your experiences. Perhaps you can do a factory reset before flashing the new image, too. To make sure you’ll have a “clean” start…
