How are you doing? This is the service update for 0.10 RE release, verified on S55 (fw 2034).
Changes in this version:

  • Expected cleaning direction in a zone is now shown on the map with the arrows sign;
  • Updated "go_to" and "zoned_cleanup" MQTT commands to allow specifying their targets directly with coordinates (predefined zones or spots aren't mandatory anymore);
  • Added "remote_control" MQTT command (and its REST API synonym) to automate manual remote controlling the device. With this you can send a sequence of such commands for the device to automatically chain them, and it will automatically start and end manual control mode when required;
  • Double tap on the map will now show coordinates of tapped position;
  • Node.js updated to 16.16 and some dependencies were updated too.

Note that Node.js 16 binary this time is a default build from pkg-fetch repo. This primarily means that it is rather big compared to my previous custom Node.js 12 builds and there's a chance that some CPU optimizations are not enabled here. While it doesn't sound awesome, but still you'll hardly notice any substantial differences I believe.

This release includes a pre-build image for Gen2 based on firmware version 2034 and an image for Gen1 based on firmware version 4028. Both are built by vacuumz image builder and use password "cleaner" for root login at SSH by default. You are advised to change it right after install - you know it for sure.

If you already have a previous release installed, you can install only RE update using a deb file (for gen1) or via this guide (for gen2 and 3).
