Lovelace Valetudo Map Card

Draws the map from a Xiaomi vacuum cleaner, that is rooted and flashed with Valetudo, in a Home Assistant Lovelace card.

Valetudo

Valetudo can be found on https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo. This is the only version of Valetudo we officially support.

This card requires at least Valetudo 2021.2.0.

If you want to use an older Valetudo version, check out the legacy branch of this project. In HACS, you can choose "Reinstall" and use version v2020.

Install

It is highly recommended to use HACS for managing custom extensions of Home Assistant. It automatically manages the registration of additional resources required by custom cards and makes it easy to keep them up-to-date.

To install HACS follow their installation instructions. There is no need to manually add this repository to HACS, just wait for the Valetudo Map Card to appear in the Frontend Page of the HACS interface in your Home Assistant instance.

Configuration

When using HACS there is no need to manually make Home Assistant aware of custom javascript resources of this custom card. If you do need to check this manually, it is visible in the Configuration -> Lovelace Dashboards -> Resources tab.

On older versions you may need to add this to the lovelace configuration yaml manually.
lovelace.yaml: Add custom Lovelace configuration in Home Assistant to enable valetudo-map-card JavaScript. Go to your HA overview, then right top "Configure UI", then right top again on the 3 dots and "Raw config editor".

resources:
  - type: js
    url: /community_plugin/lovelace-valetudo-map-card/valetudo-map-card.js

Home Assistant

configuration.yaml: Valetudo officially supports MQTT, with the preferred example configuration as follows. You will need to have MQTT configured in Home Assistant and Valetudo.

When using the latest (2021.2.0++) version of Valetudo, you should see a new camera.map_data (or camera.map before 2021.4.0) entity which actually contains the map data. Simply configure this card to use it and everything should be fine :)

Lovelace custom card

Even when installing via HACS, the new card will not appear automatically in the list of card previews when hitting the "+" button on the UI. Instead, choose the "Manual" option and provide the following yaml content:

type: 'custom:valetudo-map-card'
entity: camera.map_data
vacuum_entity: vacuum.valetudo_robot
rotate: 0
crop:
  top: 0
  bottom: 0
  left: 0
  right: 0
min_height: 0

Tips & Tricks

Displaying as overlay

When combining this card with Home Assistant's picture-elements, you could use this to show your vacuum's position on top of your house. Make sure to set both show_floor: false and background_color: transparent in this card:

type: picture-elements
image: https://online.visual-paradigm.com/repository/images/e5728e49-09ce-4c95-b83c-482deee24386.png
elements:
  - type: 'custom:valetudo-map-card'
    entity: camera.map_data
    show_floor: false
    background_color: transparent

Then use map_scale and crop to make it fit.
