cleanReport: alert

[cactusss]

Is there a way to find out what the reason is when there is an alert? And / or is there a way to trap/capture the other messages like reminders and stuff.

I don't really understand the question. Please be more specific with your question 😉

[cactusss]

Well, if my Deebot gets trapped, I get a message on my phone (from Ecovacs Mobile app) that it is trapped, and I need to set it free. Or that it is 'off the floor'.

I would like my app to be able to send the same message; family members don't have the Ecovacs app, but I am able to send them the messages through my own app. All I can do now (AFAIK) is detect an alert (cleanReport: alert) but I can't figure out how to detect what caused the alert (deebot is trapped, or off the floor).

Also, I get reminders to change the mopping cloth, or clean the dustbin. It would be awesome if I could also handle those messages with my app instead of the Ecovacs app.

There's an "error" event, but the library doesn't handle the specific "alert" of the "CleanInfo" (CleanReport) message yet. In this file you can find the already known error codes.

I cant seem to locat the "error" value within the Clean Report, is there another call that covers the error codes?

You can use the Error event that I already mentioned:

But maybe I don't understand what you mean exactly 😉

I'm using your node-red library
To send a CleanReport call,
But it does not return and Error Codes, say when it gets stuck or the wheels get tangled,

So i'm trying to find the source value so that I can cross reference it against the list of errors you have provided, but at this point for the deebot 710, i cant find where the codes are located.

I started the other thred as it was more contextualised for my usecase(node-red)

I still don't understand why you expect to receive an error code when sending a CleanReport call ...

That is what I posted on Feb 01:

Ok so it should just come through, i have some filters on my flow, it might be being caught somewhere, thanks.

Ah yeah. I handled the vacbot.on('error') incorrctly.

I now have this:

this.vacbot.on('Error', (error) => {
if (error.search('NoError') == -1) {
// do some stuff
}
});

The returned error is only the text message ("HostHang: Robot is off the floor" for instance) which is okay. But if at all possible it would be nicer to get the errorcode instead of (or besides) the error message. But I can work with this also.

Thanks again Sascha!

For the error code you can use the "ErrorCode" event.

Thanks! That'll work.
