    This is awesome!! I remember reverse engineering the Neato LIDAR long ago. It’s come a long way since then.

    > Generation 3 robots (after being bitten by vacuula) currently use nip.io to help connect to your server, this is a limitation of the models we haven't managed to work around cleanly yet.

    That permanent cloud dependency should probably be on the main readme and not just the optional-to-look-at installer source code repository. But maybe I've just missed it?

    It does say

    > Gen3 robots sadly require port 443

    but it says that for a different reason I think?

      Hey! Creator of Vacuula here! We are currently working on removing the nip.io requirement, with 1.1.0-b1 soon here it will be gone. Same for port 443, we have found all places in firmware to override!
