I think this one
https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots/
Needs a custom firmware installed. But then I am free to use it even if the official app no longer exists.
Can confirm it works and is great. I'm even running a Glados voice pack on it that insults me while it cleans.
Only issue I've had the whole time was actually this week when I finally updated the valetudo re version to support the new home assistant MQTT format and the update got stuck but that was an easy fix once I worked out what it was.
Can it say ouch when you kick it or say let me down when you pick it up?
I did try the 'ouch' feature and that was fun for all of 10 minutes and then it moved very quickly into annoying so that feature got disabled.

This is it. I've done it last month, and besides having all the control of my s7, I swear that the robot is faster??!
