The neato component allows you to control your Neato Botvac Connected Robots.

To enable neato in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
neato:
  username: YOUR_USERNAME
  password: YOUR_PASSWORD

{% configuration %} username: description: Username for the Neato account. required: true type: string password: description: Password for the Neato account. required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}

After the update to firmware 4.0 (which adds cleaning maps) there is also support for displaying the maps of the Botvac D3 Connected and Botvac D5 Connected robots. More information on how to update can be found [here](https://support.neatorobotics.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004320694-Software-Update-4-0-for-Neato-Botvac-Connected-D3-D5-).

{% linkable_title Vacuum %}

The neato vacuum platform allows you to control your Neato Botvac Connected. The status will contain attributes on the robots last clean session.

If you notice the robot stops responding to commands check the state to see if the robot is "unavailable". If you see "unavailable" first try to restart the vacuum and wait about 5 minutes to see if it is no longer "unavailable". If you are still having issues check the Neato app and make sure your robot is connected and working. If it is not then follow the steps in the app to reset your robot and give it the same name as before then restart Home Assistant.

{% linkable_title Services %}

Currently supported services are:

• start
• pause
• stop
• return_to_base
• locate
• spot_clean

And a specific Platform Service:

• vacuum.neato_custom_cleaning

{% linkable_title Platform Services %}

{% linkable_title Service vacuum.neato_custom_cleaning %}

Starts a custom cleaning of your house. You can set the various options like in the mobile application (mode, map usage, navigation mode, zone).

Not all Botvac models support all the attributes. Only the Neato Botvac D7 supports the `zone` attribute. Some information about the capabilities might be found on the [Neato Developer Portal](https://developers.neatorobotics.com/api/robot-remote-protocol/housecleaning).

Service data attribute	Optional	Description
entity_id	no	Only act on a specific robot
mode	yes	Set the cleaning mode: 1 for eco and 2 for turbo. Defaults to turbo if not set.
navigation	yes	Set the navigation mode: 1 for normal, 2 for extra care, 3 for deep. Defaults to normal if not set. Deep cleaning is only supported on the Botvac D7.
category	yes	Whether to use a persistent map or not for cleaning (i.e. No go lines): 2 for no map, 4 for map. Default to using map if not set (and fallback to no map if no map is found).
zone	yes	Only supported on the Botvac D7. Name of the zone to clean from the Neato app. Use unique names for the zones to avoid the wrong zone from running. Defaults to no zone i.e. complete house cleanup.

{% linkable_title Camera %}

The neato camera platform allows you to view the latest cleaning map of your Neato Botvac Connected.

{% linkable_title Switch %}
