Unofficial iRobot Roomba 980 node.js library (SDK).
With this library you can send commands to your Roomba 980 through the iRobot cloud API or directly from your LAN and integrate your roboot with your own Home Automation or IoT project.
See rest980 if you need a HTTP REST API interface.
If you enjoy dorita980 and it works nice for you, I recommend blocking the internet access to your robot to avoid the OTA firmware updates. New firmware changes can cause dorita980 to stop working. Blocking firmware updates can be performed using the parental control options on your router.
When a new firmware is published, you can come here to verify if dorita980 is still compatible. Once dorita980 is compatible you can temporarily enable internet access for your robot to get the firmware upgrade.
This document is only for firmware 2.x.x. Check your robot version!
If you have firmware version 1.6.x click here to see the old documentation.
There are some breaking changes between 1.6.x and 2.x.x in this API (dorita980 v2 and v3).
- Compatible robots: all 800 and 900 series with HOME app.
- Get your username/password easily.
- Auto discovery robot IP (optional).
- Local API control (from your LAN).
- Simplified Cleaning Preferences settings.
- Firmware 1.6.x compatible.
- Firmware 2.x.x compatible (latest serie 900 uses firmware v2, not v3).
- Firmware 3.2.x compatible (latest serie 800 uses firmware v3).
- See rest980 if you need a HTTP REST API interface to use dorita980 throw.

First you need node.js installed and then:
$ npm install dorita980 --saveYou can control the robot from your local network.
Create myapp.js file with this content:
var dorita980 = require('dorita980');
var myRobotViaLocal = new dorita980.Local('MyUsernameBlid', 'MyPassword', '192.168.1.104'); // robot IP address
myRobotViaLocal.on('connect', init);
function init () {
myRobotViaLocal.start()
.then(() => myRobotViaLocal.end()) // disconnect to leave free the channel for the mobile app.
.catch(console.log);
}Then install dorita980 using npm and run your program:
$ npm install dorita980 --save
$ node myapp.jsPause the robot via Local request:
var dorita980 = require('dorita980');
var myRobotViaLocal = new dorita980.Local('MyUsernameBlid', 'MyPassword', '192.168.1.104'); // robot IP address
myRobotViaLocal.on('connect', init);
function init () {
myRobotViaLocal.pause()
.then(() => myRobotViaLocal.end()) // disconnect to leave free the channel for the mobile app.
.catch(console.log);
}Get robot week schedule
var dorita980 = require('dorita980');
var myRobotViaLocal = new dorita980.Local('MyUsernameBlid', 'MyPassword', '192.168.1.104'); // robot IP address
myRobotViaLocal.on('connect', init);
function init () {
myRobotViaLocal.getWeek()
.then((weekConfig) => {
console.log(weekConfig)
myRobotViaLocal.end()
})
.catch(console.log);
}(Needed for Cloud and Local requests)
Download or clone this repo, install it, then run npm run getpassword. You need to know your robot IP address (look in your router or scan your LAN network with nmap to find it). Or use the dorita980.getRobotIP() method.
$ git clone https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980.git
$ cd dorita980
$ npm install
$ npm run getpassword <robotIP>Example Output:
$ cd dorita980
$ npm install
$ npm run getpassword 192.168.1.103
> node ./bin/getpassword.js "192.168.1.103"
Make sure your robot is on the Home Base and powered on. Then press and hold the HOME button on your robot until it plays a series of tones (about 2 seconds). Release the button and your robot will flash WIFI light.
Then press any key...

Use this credentials in dorita980 lib :)
If you don't known which IP address to use in dorita980.Local() you can use dorita980.getRobotIP() to find it.
This process takes 1-2 seconds, so if you know the IP you can just use it explicity.
You need UDP brodcast enable in your network!
var dorita980 = require('dorita980');
dorita980.getRobotIP((ierr, ip) => {
if (ierr) return console.log('error looking for robot IP');
var myRobotViaLocal = new dorita980.Local('MyUsernameBlid', 'MyPassword', ip);
myRobotViaLocal.getMission()
.then((mission) => {
console.log(mission);
}).catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});
});You can also use .discovery method to get all the robots discovery data:
You need UDP brodcast enabled in your network!
var dorita980 = require('dorita980');
dorita980.discovery((ierr, data) => {
console.log(data);
});Will print:
{ ver: '2',
hostname: 'Roomba-xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
robotname: 'Dorita',
ip: '192.168.1.103',
mac: '12:12:12:12:12:12',

The library send commands direclty over wifi to your robot. You dont need an internet connection.

Close the connection to the robot. Its important if you want to send commands via the official mobile app via Local network. There's a maximum of 1 connection at any time in local network, so if your app is connected, the official mobile app only works via cloud access.
While dorita980 is connected, you can call other methods to send commands and listen for the events to get data. Just call the .end() method if you want. While dorita980 is connected, the official mobile app will only work via the cloud to send commands to your robot.
Get the robot state but wait for the waitForFields fields before return.
The state object starts empty and the robot will add data over time.
myRobotViaLocal.getRobotState(['batPct', 'bbchg3']).then((actualState) => {
console.log(actualState);
});Full state should contain:

Waits for the 'signal' to make sure we have the full state object.
Partially overwrites the robot state to configure it.

myRobotViaLocal.setWeek(newWeek)Response:
{"ok":null}prod{"ok":null}{"ok":null}{"ok":null}{"ok":null}Note: before dock you need to pause() or stop() your robot.
{"ok":null}This methods use setPreferences() with the correct flags for each setting.
{"ok":null}Just to experiment with raw commands using the MQTT client. Known topics are cmd and delta. But Experiment with other topics and message formats!
The delta commands tipicaly have the following json format:
{'state': newState}
The cmd commands tipicaly have the following json format:
{'command': command, time: Date.now() / 1000 | 0, initiator: 'localApp'};
For example to send a start command:
let myCommand = {command: 'start', time: Date.now() / 1000 | 0, initiator: 'localApp'};
myRobotViaLocal.publish('cmd', JSON.stringify(myCommand), function(e) {
if(e) console.log('error', e);
});Dont forget stringify the json message with JSON.stringify(rawJsonMessageAsString).

Not implemented yet in Firmware 2.0.0. Help wanted!
dorita980 is compatible with node.js > 4.0 But you can use the getpassword feature in node.js < 4.0 using --harmony flag like that:
$ node --harmony ./bin/getpassword.js "192.168.1.104"
