[Video] Homey and Vacuum Robot

Hey guys! As promised a video of starting my vacuum robot using Homey.
Here is a picture of the Flow I am using:
And here is the video:
The robot uses a IR with 2 LED but it worked fine (discussed here: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/500/ir-remote-with-two-transmitter).
Its a Medion MD 16192 bought new for 99€ at ebay.de. It has its own base and returns to this after ~90-100 minutes cleaning.
Unfortunately it seems that it is out of stock right now

Besides this flow I am planning to add it to my "Left Home" flow, so that it automaticly (once a day) starts cleaning when I am leaving.

For dutchies with a LG Hombot, I described how to add wifi to the Hombot here: http://www.domotica.center/robotstofzuiger-lg-hombot-vparquet/
It also shows the URL to start, stop and 'return to base'. Shouldn't be hard to build this in Homey.
I love the price/value ratio of Medion products!
Are you still happy with the vacuum cleaner?
Found the same for 99 euro's and thinking off buying it.
thanks

( http://www.gearbest.com/chuwi-ilife-_gear/ ) <- scroll down I have the V5.
And I must say im very happy, it cleans whenever I leave my Geofence. The only thing is since the generic IR copy function is modified I cant make the robot return (I can still start it) with Homey but im sure this will be resolved in the future.
The robot isn't all that smart but it does a good enough job keeping my floor (40 sq metre) clean.
Yes I am still happy with the medion vacuum cleaner. It is still working every day.
The only thing I've changed is using Harmony Hub for IR Controls (Because Homey had IR Problems before the big IR update and I am too lazy to change it back
Thats a pretty good deal you've found!
When my vaccum robot dies I will buy the ILive X5, it costs 110€ and has the ability to wet-clean and you can find some pretty good reviews for it

The V-Series of ILive looks to be the same as the medion (V5).
The downside of these are shipping from china, so expect a delay.
i will go for the Medion for now, local store, so guarantee is easier, and my experience with China shopping isn't the best
