A friend of mine rooted my #Roborock S7 robot vacuum and installed custom software called #Valetudo. Now it runs completely without needing to connect to the manufacturer's servers in China, which gives me more peace of mind. I was surprised that almost all the original fun…

A partially disassembled robot vacuum is spread out on a wooden table. Various internal components are visible, including circuit boards with glowing blue lights, a red and black brush attachment, and other plastic parts. Several small glasses, tools like screwdrivers, and a paper towel are also on the table, indicating a repair or maintenance process in progress.
The image shows a map interface from the Valetudo app, displaying a floor plan with an outlined cleaning path taken by a robotic vacuum. The plan includes various paths and possible obstacles. The app has a blue header with navigation icons, and controls for segment cleaning are visible below the map.
The image shows a statistics screen from valetudo application. At the top, it displays "Total Time" with a reading of "383h 54m 04s." Below, there's a badge with the letters "bcc" in the center, surrounded by a blue and orange border. The text beneath the badge reads, "You've cleaned more than the whole CC Congress: bcc Berlin Congress Center." At the bottom, it shows "Total Area" with a measurement of "17687.88 m²."
