As the title suggests, I’m in the market for a vacuum that doesn’t phone home, not even for initial setup (if possible). This is my first time stepping into home automation so I’m not familiar with the various FOSS projects in the space. I’m comfortable with modding/rooting the vacuum so throw your suggestions, I’ll research them.
I’ve been looking into it and I must ask, when did you purchase your Z10? Some people wrote that they purchased their Dreams not long ago and were unable to root it via the UART method
I believe it is still rootable but via a non-public method. There is a system called VAERS that you request help from. I went through it for one of mine (I had 4 before Dreame lost one during warranty work) and the response was fast and helpful.
How does that process work? Is there like someone doing it remotely or something?
Maybe a year ago? There were questions on if it still was rootable back then, I just kind of hoped it was, and it worked. I’m not sure about more recently though
