Valetudo Companion

About this app

Valetudo Companion uses Bonjour/Zeroconf to find robot vacuums running Valetudo version 2021.07.0 and up. It displays each found vacuum in a list and lets you open the control panel in your browser with a single tap.

It also allows you to join a robot running Valetudo to your Wi-Fi network without having to mess with your mobile data settings or figuring out your robot's IP.

This app will not provide any UI to interface with Valetudo during normal operation. Basically, you can think of it as an automatically updating bookmark + some wizard stuff.

Note that this app is completely optional and only exists to make Valetudo more accessible.
You cannot install Valetudo with this app. Please refer to the installation/rooting instructions on https://valetudo.cloud specific to your robot to find out how to root it and install Valetudo.

The sourcecode is available on Github (Apache-2.0):

Ratings and reviews

Pretty pointless as an app, it's just a browser shortcut... EDIT thanks for the explanation. While I have no use for the app, I now understand how it could be useful. Still, I think it would be nice if the app embedded the web page instead of just opening the browser.

This helps you find local Valetudo instances! I misunderstood the purpose of this application. It is not intended to be a "centralized GUI for your Valetudo bots", it scans/listens to your local network searching for Valetudo instances. Primarily useful if you don't know how to/can't access your DHCP leases.

Cant blame app but after commisioning the wifi, roborock shows on machine its connected. But with app cant find it. Resetting and re-commisioning wifi works, but never finding roborock after that
