I just read https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/01/roombas-will-soon-build-a-wi-fi-coverage-map-while-they-clean/ and I thought about your project. Maybe the value can be made available together with the remaining ones?

Doing all with tutorial. Got this message every time

Hello, I'm a little uncomfortable with the device contacting http://www.neatoscheduler.com/api/actionPull.php over http, and then running arbitrary commands on the neato as received. It looks like the esp8266 IS capable of using https, at least as a client: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/doc/esp8266wifi/client-secure-examples.rst, and then the firmware could check the certificate fingerprint against the known fingerprint for the server, so it would be impossible for someone to, for example, spoof DNS and end up with a complete map of my home.

I don't think it's probably feasible to implement the server portion as https, but since the only communication outside my home network is done in client mode, I think this would provide sufficient security.

I really like this project after trial.

Reference sstadlberger/botvac-wifi project update

1. ESP8266WebServer server = ESP8266WebServer(80);
   Replace with:
   ESP8266WebServer server (80);
2. removed mDNS

Mention a scheme that is immature under the existing framework - About solving the problem that the sweeping robot cannot sleep.When the sweeping robot is parked on the charging base and the battery discharge current is greater than 10 mA, it is forced to sleep by the command (setsystemmod hibernate).
But this will prevent the sweeping robot from responding to Action commands on the web management page.Moreover, its battery will be over-discharged and the working time will be greatly shortened the next time it works (because its power management chip will think that the battery is not depleted and cannot be recharged on time. In fact, Ni-MH batteries have self-discharge problems).

Looking forward to a better solution or the author to modify the entire framework.

void setBotHibernate() {
Serial.setTimeout(500);
Serial.println("GetCharger");
String batteryInfoTemp = Serial.readStringUntil(0x1A);
String checkArray[2] = {"ChargingEnabled", "Discharge_mAH"};
String itemValue[2] = {"", ""};
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++){
int currentItemIndex = batteryInfoTemp.indexOf(checkArray[i]);
if (currentItemIndex > -1){
int commaIndex = batteryInfoTemp.indexOf(',',currentItemIndex);
int currentItemEnd = batteryInfoTemp.indexOf('\n',currentItemIndex);
itemValue[i] = batteryInfoTemp.substring(commaIndex+1,currentItemEnd-1);
itemValue[i].trim();
}
}
if ( itemValue[0] == "1" && itemValue[1].toInt() > 10 ){
Serial.println("Testmod on");
Serial.println("Setsystemmod hibernate");
Serial.println("Testmod off");
}
}
