LG Hombot/Roboking Component for Home Assistant

The LG Hombot vacuum platform allows you to control the state of your LG Hombot robot vacuum. This robot is also called Roboking in some countries.

You first have to plug a wifi dongle to your robot and install Wifi support before it can be controlled by this platform.

You can display various data like the robot status or the charging level via template sensors.
