<div class='note'>
This platform has been tested and is confirmed to be working with the iRobot Roomba 980 and 890 models, but should also work fine with any Wi-Fi enabled Roomba like the 690 or the 960.

## Configuration

To add your Roomba vacuum to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
vacuum:
  - platform: roomba
    host: IP_ADDRESS_OR_HOSTNAME
    username: BLID
    password: PASSWORD
```

{% configuration %}
host:
  description: The hostname or IP address of the Roomba.

  type: string

  required: true
  type: string

  required: true
  type: string

  required: false
  type: string

The Roomba's MQTT server only allows a single connection. Enabling continuous mode will force the App to connect via the cloud to your Roomba. [More info here](https://github.com/NickWaterton/Roomba980-Python#firmware-2xx-notes)
