Dreametech L10s Ultra won't clean - it demands to be returned to base

For me it's the opposite.
I want my data NOT to get sent into all kinds of foreign clouds and servers.
Therefore I am using HA. It keeps my data locally.
And for the same reason I avoid all kinds of 'phone home' devices. Robot vacuums are the perfect 'phone home' devices. They spy not just your WiFi but also how your home looks like, every inch and every cm.
On Dreame robot vacuums you can actually flash your own firmware like Valetudo which is also quite popular in Home Assistant peers since it no longer phones home
It's not really firmware, its a software solution that blocks it from phoning home. It still behaves the same.
That's good news!
