Valetudo isn’t firmware. I’ve got iRobot devices (because I’m an idiot and didn’t know they come with cameras connected to AWS) and the firmware is the buggiest shit I’ve ever used.

Yeah it’s nice not to depend on AWS but I also don’t want shit firmware on the damn things.

If Valetudo isn't fimware, what is it?

It’s a replacement for the server the device connects to.
