Start and Pause commands on 15C (T2110) and 15C Max (T2128) not working correctly

[HumanSkunk]

Describe the bug

15C and 15C Max start commands no longer work and are only started when pause is pressed. Stop vacuuming works fine. Consequently there is no way to actually pause a vacuum once it has started.

As a work around I have just called the pause vacuuming service but not being able to pause a vacuum is a bit of a pain.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Pressing Start on the vacuum card or within the device config or calling the service doesnt start the vacuum. No ability to pause.

Expected behavior

Pressing start should start, but pressing pause starts.

Additionally, on 30C and 30C Max, "Stop" issues a docking directive; "Pause" starts cleaning and "Clean" does nothing. Perhpas related to a recent change in how HA interprets vacuum commands?

[HumanSkunk]

Your comment reminded me of the issue I had raised. I had just updated my automations for the time being so it only used the pause command to begin... not ideal but it worked.

Today I used ChatGPT for a bit to see if could get anything updated. I have it slightly better now where Start actually starts the cleaning (including calling the start vacuum service). But Pause also starts the cleaning! I ran out of free questions so I have to wait for some further debugging... If I get the rest working I will update with what I did. I cant find any vacuum file for the T2110 (15C) though so unsure where start with that one, a problem for another time. Stop still issues the docking directive which I am fine with tbh.

Edit: Oh it seems that the 15C also works now with Start button so perhaps the file I updated effected both of them.

[paulthewaII]

I've been attempting to do the same thing this morning. I have little to none python experience but was able to modify the vacuum.py to copy the "Pause" section to "Start" section:

     async def async_start(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
        """Start the vacuum cleaner in auto mode.

        Args:
            **kwargs: Additional arguments passed from Home Assistant.
        """
        if self.vacuum is None:
            _LOGGER.error("Cannot start vacuum: vacuum not initialized")
            return

        await self.vacuum.async_set({
            self._get_dps_code("START_PAUSE"): self.vacuum.getRoboVacCommandValue(RobovacCommand.START_PAUSE, "start")
        })

    async def async_pause(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
        """Pause the vacuum cleaner.

        Args:
            **kwargs: Additional arguments passed from Home Assistant.
        """
        if self.vacuum is None:
            _LOGGER.error("Cannot pause vacuum: vacuum not initialized")
            return

        await self.vacuum.async_set({
            self._get_dps_code("START_PAUSE"): self.vacuum.getRoboVacCommandValue(RobovacCommand.START_PAUSE, "pause")
        })

That allows me to start the vacuum by pressing start. However, so does pause, and stop still does not work.

I will also keep messing around with chatGPT and see if I can come up with a patch

[HumanSkunk]

Yes it seems to be a weird one, I rolled it back to an earler version and it behaves in the same way. So honestly not sure when the issue first appeared (it is present in 1.3.2). Looking through the python files for the specific vacuum for me the 2128.py I have noticed there are no robovac features for STOP and the START_PAUSE has the single command of 2.

I have a feeling there should be a stop command which would behave in the same way as pause... but unsure. I am not savvy enough to work out if there should be a code or not. I do know the vacuums are an early gen and I have had the 15C for at least 5 years now, and I know start and pause have worked at some point in the past.

I did try and use Claude to have a go where is suggested this which doesnt work for pause or stop:

741        async def async_start(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
742        """Start the vacuum cleaner."""
743        if self.vacuum is None:
744            _LOGGER.error("Cannot start vacuum: vacuum not initialized")
745            return
746
747        _LOGGER.debug("Start pressed - sending start command")
748        await self.vacuum.async_set({
749            self._get_dps_code("START_PAUSE"):
750                self.vacuum.getRoboVacCommandValue(RobovacCommand.START_PAUSE, "start")
751        })
752
753    async def async_pause(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
754        """Pause the vacuum cleaner (stop in place without returning to base)."""
755        if self.vacuum is None:

This is the code I originally had with chatGPT which used the current pause command as the start command as you had above. So I will likely just go back to this for now. The Stop still sends it back to base.

Same issues as reported also on a 35C (T2117). I udated from the codepixel code to this because the new new current homeassistant version don't support the codepixel anymore

Can confirm this is also happening on the 35C models as well. I just updated the code as per above (shoutout to HumanSkunk and paulthewall). Definitely better than before.

I too am experiencing this issue. I removed the codefoodpixels integration and installed the damacus integration and found that pressing the start button does nothing, but pressing the pause button gets the robovac started. The stop button sends the robovac back to the dock. I have a Eufy Robovac 15C Max. I am a retired software developer but am completely unfamiliar with Home Assistant integration development and have very little experience with Python, so I am extremely uncomfortable messing with this stuff as I rely heavily on Home Assistant and really don't want to crash my system. I hope a solution is found.

So the basic steps for this:

1. Install the File Editor Addon. It's an official Addon (sorry Apps now) so Settings -> Apps -> Install Apps and then find File Editor in the list.
2. Start File Editor and then open the GUI for it. Then click the folder icon in the top left of the gui window. The scroll down to 'custom_components' -> robovac -> then vacuum.py
3. when the file opens scroll down to line 741 and look for async_start then paste this over the section that exists:

    async def async_start(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
        """Start the vacuum cleaner (emulated toggle)."""
        if self.vacuum is None:
            _LOGGER.error("Cannot start vacuum: vacuum not initialized")
            return

        # Only toggle if not already cleaning
        if self.activity != VacuumActivity.CLEANING:
            _LOGGER.debug("Emulated START via toggle")
            await self.vacuum.async_set({
                self._get_dps_code("START_PAUSE"):
                    self.vacuum.getRoboVacCommandValue(RobovacCommand.START_PAUSE, "start")
            })

make sure the indenting is correct. and dont overwrite the "async def async_pause(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None:" line as that should be line 752.

I cant remember if I had to restart anything so if it doesnt work straight away after saving it, I would delete the vacuum from the integration and re add it. It might also need a restart to reload the integration with the amended section. So you could just restart it after editing the code and it should work.

Can confirm that this works. Edited vaccum.py (make sure you remove the line numbers in the supplied code and indent appropriatly). Restarted and it's now working again.

Thank you :)

Thanks. I edited the code snippet to remove the line numbers and to sort out indents. Hopefully I just pastes in correctly now.

[WesWesthaver]

Thank you for the suggested fix. Before I start editing my vacuum.py file can you tell me if this fixes all of the issues or just the broken start button? Does the stop button still cause the vacuum to return to the docking station? Does the pause button now pause the vacuum?
