Hi everyone!

I currently have a Neato D7 with a broken brush motor. It's 3 years old, so no more warranty.

Given that Neato is shutting down, I want to buy a new vacuum altogether.

Here's my wishlist:

Home Assistant integration (duh)
Vacuum + mopping
Local control would be cherry on top
LIDAR navigation (we run it mostly during the night)
Easy to service & reliable (should be easy to service the robot and buy replacement parts)

Any suggestions / recommendations?

I'm a bit concerned by that as well. Especially for robots with integrated cameras. I don't mind LIDAR sensors as much. Sure, they might leak my floor plan, but I would accept that risk. Unfortunately, it seems like most robot vacuums these days are Chinese. Especially if you want vacuum+mop combo with some nice features. (Whichever one I buy, I'll also be adding it to IoT VLAN. Separate them from the rest of my network).
