Control iRobot Roomba vacuums at the Cabin (Philly). Use when asked to vacuum, start/stop/dock the Roomba, clean the house, or anything about Floomba or Philly (the two Roombas).
Control two iRobot Roomba 105 Combo vacuums at the Cabin (Philly) via Google Assistant text commands. The Roombas are registered in Google Home.

IMPORTANT: During walk hours (8-10 AM, 11 AM-1 PM, 5-8 PM), ALWAYS use dog-walk-start instead of roomba start. This starts Roombas AND activates return monitoring (Fi GPS + WiFi + Ring motion), so they auto-dock when Dylan/Julia return. Without this, Roombas run until battery dies.
dog-walk-start cabin # Start Roombas + return monitoring at cabin
dog-walk-start crosstown # Start Roombas + return monitoring at crosstown
Use bare roomba start ONLY for non-walk cleaning (cleaning day, routine, specific room, etc.) where you don't need auto-dock on return.
The dog-walk listener handles walk detection automatically — when Potato's Fi GPS collar leaves the geofence, it starts the Roombas and begins return monitoring. The agent does NOT need to act on walk departures.
This skill works well with cabin routines:
Example for Away routine:
roomba start floomba
roomba start philly
Example for Welcome Home:
roomba dock floomba
roomba dock philly
This skill controls Roombas at the Cabin only (Floomba + Philly via Google Assistant).
