# Roomba980-Wifi
Configure irobot wifi series using command line
I finally got there!
# Steps
## Push a password
1. Reset to robot (press Clean until **all** lights up)
2. Start Soft AP (press Home+Spot) until sound + green wifi led blink - Eventually try again if the error bip sounds
1. The password is pushed to the robot using an MQTT Authentication Exchange packet
`echo -n "f023efcc3b29003a313a313537393139353338363a386678376e597156744b67574a39744f" | xxd -r -p | openssl s_client -CAfile robot-ca.pem -connect 192.168.10.1 -quiet -noservername`. This output the password back if set correctly.
**packet format:**
Value | Description
----- | ----------
`0xf0` | MQTT Authentication Exchange packet fixed header
`0x23` | The size of the remaining Bytes after this (35 in decimal)
`0xefcc3b2900` | Voodoo packet :smile_cat:
`:1:1579195386:8fx7nYqVtKgWJ9tO` | Format: `:1:timestamp:16 alpha-decimal chars`
Note: I have not played using different password format, so use with caution.
## Provision wifi settings
Connect using mqtt protocol v3.1.1 and send commands via `json` messages from the table bellow on the right topic and **disconnect after**. (I use only 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, it seems to be sufficient for a basic configuration). Having a little pause between commands seems to help the process a bit. Once sent, the SoftAP should turn off and the wifi led should turn fixed white.
| Topic | payload | Comment
------- | ------- | ---------- | --------------
1 | delta | { "state" : { "timezone" : "Europe/Paris" } } | makes the robot bip once of two
2 | wifictl | { "state" : { "sdiscUrl" : "https://disc-prod.iot.irobotapi.com/v1/robot/discover?robot_id=0000000000000000&country_code=FR&sku=R966040" } } | I did not checked what is this api…
3 | wifictl | { "state" : { "ntphosts" : "0.irobot.pool.ntp.org 1.irobot.pool.ntp.org 2.irobot.pool.ntp.org 3.irobot.pool.ntp.org" } }
4 | delta | { "state" : {"country" : "FR"} }
5 | delta | { "state" : { "cloudEnv" : "prod" } }
6 | wifictl | {"state": {"wlcfg": {"pass": "wifisecretpasssword", "sec": 7, "ssid": "575757"}}} | `pass` as clear text, `ssid` as octal (mine is `WWW` here), `sec`???
7 | wifictl | { "state" : { "utctime" : 1579291795 } } | timestamp
8 | wifictl | { "state" : { "localtimeoffset" : 60 } }
9 | wifictl | { "state" : { "chkssid" : true } }
10 | wifictl | { "state" : { "wactivate" : true } }
11 | wifictl | { "state" : { "get" : "netinfo" } }
12 | wifictl | { "state" : { "uap" : false } }
## Python script
There is a proof of concept in this repo.
- press the 'CLEAN' button until you hear a sound, keep it pressed, it will blink, keep it pressed, all light flash, now release
- press home + spot until you hear a melody
- connect you PC to the Access Point. Roomba will speak
- Check the WIFI SSID name, it's your BLID, set it in the script
- Update your wifi parameters in the script
- Launch the script
Note: the instruction that set "timezone" *must* emit a bip.
```
$ ./initial-config.py

Sending: delta { "state" : { "timezone" : "Europe/Paris" } } <<<<======= THIS MUST EMIT A BIP
Sending: wifictl {"state": {"wlcfg": {"pass": "wifisecretpasssword", "sec": 7, "ssid": "54657374"}}}
Sending: wifictl { "state" : { "chkssid" : true } }
Sending: wifictl { "state" : { "wactivate" : true } }
Sending: wifictl { "state" : { "get" : "netinfo" } }
Sending: wifictl { "state" : { "uap" : false } } <<=== after some seconds, the wifi led should stay white
```
## Bash script
A bash script has been added with the mqtt commannds. It require mosquitto client (`$ apt-get install mosquitto-clients`).
Do not forget to edit the script to set your values.
