Oh, I might consider buying one again now.
Save yourself the headache and get something that works locally and doesn’t rely on their cloud and app.
What options are there out of the box? I only know of hacking well known brands and use something like valetudo
I put a wemos d1 mini in mine since all I need to do is mash the existing Clean button. The internal MCU runs on 3.3v, the buttons are pulled low and activated by the same 3.3v rail, so all I had to do was flash it with ESPhome and wire the low side of the buttons to a gpio. I wanted to read the LED state but the multiplex scheme wasn't worth decoding. I did use the single analog pin to measure battery voltage, and an input for the roller and blower motors.
Ah nice, so they work completely without internet? I somehow assumed they will need internet for first setup
I bought them used, so I don't know about initial setup if you bought a brand new one. But yeah the shark isn't even on my wifi, just the esphome.
Well done. I can't tell if you're shitposting or if this is legitimately the simplest home automation setup.

I live my life like it's a shitpost
Bro’s a menace to robot vacuum companies
I’ve been much happier with my Roborock than my Roomba. It definitely seems smarter.
Have them fight to the death
It'd be an easy battle. The last iRobot device I had was a fickle piece of junk that'd error out constantly or ignore virtual walls. I'm on my second Roborock vacuum now and am very impressed with how well they work. I gave my first one away and it's still working great for the person I gave it to.
