Connecting Xiaomi Roborock S6

I am trying to get the RoboRock S6 connected to Home Assistant. Connecting using the Xiami Home went fine. I did not choose China according to the instructions here, but The Netherlands.

First I tried the Android App solution, but my version was different (5.6.60) and I did not have a /Smarthome folder and no other folder that looked like the right one. I did not try downloading another version through Aptoide, but thought the miio option looked easier.

First I needed a Linux host that understood the npm command. I’m using Docker on Synology but the Linux that comes with the Home Assistant container does not know npm. Also the marthoc/deconz or eclipse-mosquitto containers did not. Luckily my Synology knows now to npm, so I used that.

First:

sudo npm install -g miio

That gave some warnings but it looked okay. Then the command

miio discover

That gave error command not found.
After looking on the system I found that I could use

cd /node_modules/miio/cli
./index.js discover

I don’t know what I did wrong, but at least it gave me some Rockrock data.

I think I need to delete the Roborock from the app and try again…
