As another step in my mission to Tailscale all the things!, I recently installed Tailscale on my robot vacuum.

Okay, I didn't just install Tailscale on the robot. I also loaded it with software that lets me control it locally, freeing it from its cloud-based control.

I was inspired to give this a go after reading the Tailscale sucks post on the Tailscale developer blog. That post pointed me to a few very helpful projects:

  • Valetudo, a web-based front-end for robot vacuums by Sören Beye
  • DustBuilder, a custom firmware builder for a variety of robot vacuums by Dennis Giese

In addition to the "product" provided by each of these projects, they are both also full of helpful knowledge.
