Get Current Status of device

[sossienl]

I have it working on my machines and with my DR98. Perfect. Now my domotica system triggers the robot to start cleaning, once no-one is at home anymore. And it will stop and go back to charge, once someone returns home.

However... It would be nice to check the current state of the device. "sucks status" or something.
This would make it even more smart.

Also I assume "sucks clean 60" always starts a new cleaning job once I initiated "sucks charge" before that? In other words, it doesn't continue where it left the last job?

Anyways, already very happy with this

Hi! Glad to hear you're happy with it.

The current command-line program is for use in something like cron. It's meant as a server-side replacement for the scheduling function in the app. For more advanced usage, including deeper integrations with other software, I recommend using it as a library: https://github.com/wpietri/sucks#library-use

That lets you get detailed status information, including battery state, motor state, and the wear level of the accessories.

Could you give an example of this? Specifically to get the current state of the device?
