A summary, not legal advice.

WHY IT MATTERS

Roborock vacuums store maps locally but route map data through Roborock's cloud, and keep restarting their network when they can't reach it — so cutting them off the internet broke them.

BUILD FROM THIS

  • It runs HTTPS and MQTT on your LAN and redirects DNS so the vacuum connects to it instead of Roborock. No disassembly, soldering or bootloader unlocking, and new vacuums work without prior cloud registration. Install with Docker Compose or as a Home Assistant add-on.

WHO IT'S FOR

Home Assistant users who want their Roborock vacuum off the internet.

START IN 5 MINUTES

# Check the network requirements in the install guide, run the server with Docker Compose or the Home Assistant add-on, then run onboarding from a second machine.

CAVEATS

  • You need to manage your home network yourself (DNS changes, certificates). The README notes upstream authentication changes are the most frequent point of failure.
