Proposal for enhanced features

[GitPetri]

Thank you for the good work creating this integration.
Looking at this integration after installation and Vacuum card I couldn't make the following to work, might just be stupid me but if these are not implemented please do consider the following:

• Cleaning area
• Cleaning time
• Maps/zones

Looking at the Android Wellbeing app and this issue, the data probably is available via the API.

It's always appreciating when people are using your own software 🙇

That card looks awesome! I'll try and fiddle a little bit with it as well. However, the integration currently does not report any attributes, which that card is using to display various stats. As soon as I'm confident that the current code is stable, I'll start looking at adding some attributes.

Also, I'd like to look at adding map functionality. According to the Home Assistant documentation, a vacuum is able to report SUPPORT_MAP as a feature, but I haven't been able to find any documentation on how. Help finding the proper documentation or reference implementation is much appreciated.

There is at least this having links for map fetch for Xiaomi, Rockrobo and https://github.com/PiotrMachowski/Home-Assistant-custom-components-Xiaomi-Cloud-Map-Extractor
Edit: some of those seem to be valid for rooted vacuums thus taking the maps directly from the vacuum instead from cloud. https://github.com/PiotrMachowski/Home-Assistant-custom-components-Xiaomi-Cloud-Map-Extractor/blob/master/scripts/get_map.py. Probably not easy as I thought.

Hi! Great work! Can you add the option to do a spot cleaning too? Seems to be implemented in Home Assistant!

[Ekman]

Thank you @drgreenbaum . I'll see what I can do but it'll be a while before I get there.

[Ekman]

Thank you @GitPetri for the links. I think I've managed to figure out how maps works in Home Assistant now. Now I just need to try it out and fiddle with it.

I've created separate issues for each request.
