python-roborock
A package to control Roborock vacuums.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The library is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive license, and offers low installation friction. It's well-suited for anyone building home automation integrations with Roborock devices. The async-first design and support for multiple device protocols make it flexible for both simple control and complex multi-device scenarios.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.11 or later; email-based login requires receiving a code sent to the registered email address.
- Low friction installation as a pure-Python wheel.
- Actively maintained with a recent release (12 days old) and steady repository activity.

What it is and what it does
python-roborock is a Python library for controlling Roborock vacuum cleaners and related appliances through both online (cloud) and offline (local) connections. It abstracts the different communication protocols used by different device generations—V1 for standard vacuums and A01 for wet/dry vacuums and washing machines—into a unified interface. The library handles authentication via email code login, device discovery through a device manager, and provides trait-based access to device capabilities like status queries, cleaning commands, and map data.
The library is built on async/await patterns using aiohttp and aiomqtt for network communication, with protobuf and cryptographic libraries handling protocol encoding and security. It's designed primarily for home automation integration (notably Home Assistant) and targets developers building smart home applications. The library requires Python 3.11 or later and has no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Integrate Roborock vacuums into a Home Assistant or custom home automation system for scheduled or remote cleaning
- Build a monitoring dashboard that queries vacuum status, battery level, and cleaning history across multiple devices
- Automate vacuum commands based on external triggers (e.g., start cleaning when household leaves, stop when someone returns)
- Extract and process vacuum-generated maps and cleaning data for analysis or visualization
- Control wet/dry vacuums or washing machines via the A01 protocol in multi-device smart home setups
