We Solved the #1 Problem with Robot Vacuums

- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- Some problems you just need to solve yourself. Such is the case with my Robot Vacuum. Nobody seems to have way to automate a closet door to open when the vacuum runs so we made one ourselves. And you can too! Here's everything you need to build one for yourself:

DIY Smart Home Guy creates how-to videos for smart home automation centered around Z-Wave and Zigbee devices. Review videos are generally centered around Hubitat Elevation, SmartThings and Vera. I personally run Hubitat as my primary smart hub, however I do test products on the hubs mentioned. I understand that a home automation hub is not a path for everyone. I chose this path because I am a firm believer is advanced automation and local control.

Ketchup trail is not something I would have come up with. Bravo.
Dude!! Super impressed with your MacGyver skills on this project. Great job!
Thanks!
Very cool project! 👍
Thanks!
Very clever Pete. Nerd approved!
Thanks! It was a fun challenge to solve
Ok…. This is the best thing I’ve seen on RUclips in a long time 👏
And this is the best comment I’ve seen on RUclips in a long time. Thanks!
That’s pretty darn neat
Neato indeed
As soon as robot vacuums can climb stairs, I'll start paying attention. Until then, I'm on the sideline. I have just as many square feet on the main level as the lower level, and I'm darn sure not buying two robot vacuums. Vacuuming is also a good way to exercise and I certainly need more of that. Considering your belly comment, maybe you do, too. Keep up the good work though, Pete.
MIGO Ascender can climb stairs.
Ha! thanks. The stairs thing is annoying, but honestly just having something regularly sweeping and mopping the kitchen makes it worth while. Any other room is a bonus.
Great video
Thanks!
This is something I've been thinking about for a while. I love your solution, but before buying a valve motor (genius idea, btw!) and have to rent or borrow a grinder, I think I'm going to try using the Aqara blinds opener (that pulls on a chain) and hook that to my door. In theory, it should work, right? Of course, "working in theory" is why test pilots are so highly paid. 🤣 Also, I thought the ketchup idea was ingenious. I'm going to remember that!
Thanks! You don’t actually need a grinder; a hack saw works just fine, but the grinder is definitely more fun. The problem with the blind opener is that you need some force to bump the bifold door out first. Maybe if it was mounted at an angle? I’d love to hear how it works if you give it a try.
Hilarious video Pete. How to please a woman. I love it.
Just trying to help
what font are you using that make the text overlay Ts look like crosses?!
Florencesans
Or, you could’ve just removed 3 inches from the bottom of the bifold door. Sure it looks a little bit odd which might not satisfy the wife.
Yeah, that is a complete non-starter in this house!
I thought the same.. just cut the door.. lol
The project came up to a very cool solution indeed! Well done!
