Supported Robots

At the time of writing, (2022-11-20), Nimbus supports more than 20 different Robots.
If you’re interested in hardware specifics, teardowns and more, check out Dennis Giese’s Vacuum Robot Overview.

Please note that Vacuum Robots tend to look very similar to each other. Before you make any assumptions, please consider asking in the Telegram Group or on the IRC. You can only brick your robot once.

Unless noted otherwise, you can assume that these robots were tested by us.
HOWEVER if noted otherwise, please be aware that the experience can be bad and not representative for Nimbus.
There may be no one that can help you if something goes wrong. You might even end up with a permanently bricked robot.

Hint:
You can use Ctrl + F to look for your model of robot.
Please make sure to read and understand the information written there.

Xiaomi

Robots sold under the Xiaomi brand are actually made by varying manufacturers.
Don’t assume any compatibility of consumables or other parts as well as rooting instructions.

Xiaomi V1

The Xiaomi V1 is made by Roborock. It is sold as:

• Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum

Note:
This robot never received firmware updates that enable persistent maps. This means that it creates a new one on every cleanup.
There are no virtual walls etc. Do not buy this new. There are much better options.

Rooting is pretty easy if your device was manufactured before 2020-03.
In that case, it only requires a Laptop. All warranty seals stay intact.

If your robot is newer than that, full disassembly will be required.

Rooting instructions:

• OTA (before 2020-03)
• Vinda (after 2020-03)

Xiaomi 1C

The Xiaomi 1C is made by Dreame. It is sold as:

• Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop
• Xiaomi 1C
• STYTJ01ZHM

Important note:
There are multiple hardware revisions under the same name. Only the dreame.vacuum.mc1808 is currently supported.

Rooting is pretty easy, only requiring a 3.3v USB UART Adapter and almost no disassembly. All warranty seals stay intact.

Rooting instructions:

• UART

Xiaomi 1T

The Xiaomi 1T is made by Dreame. It is sold as:

• Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro+
• Xiaomi Mijia 1T (CN)
• Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 1T (CN)
• STYTJ02ZHM

Rooting is pretty easy, only requiring a 3.3v USB UART Adapter and almost no disassembly. All warranty seals stay intact.

Rooting instructions:

• UART

Xiaomi P2148

The Xiaomi P2148 is made by Dreame. It is sold as:

• Mijia Robot Vacuum-Mop Ultra Slim
• Mijia Robot Vacuum Mop Ultra Slim
• Xiaomi Mijia Ultra-Thin Robot Vacuum
• Xiaomi Mijia Ultra Slim

Rooting is pretty easy, only requiring a 3.3v USB UART Adapter and almost no disassembly. All warranty seals stay intact.

With its 5.5cm height and 32.3cm diameter, this robot offers a solution for some tricky homes. As it is china exclusive, spare parts may be hard to find in the rest of the world.

On initial root, it might be required to do a factory reset so that the device.conf gets regenerated.

There is no reset button on this robot. Instead, press and hold the two buttons for

• < 1s for the UART shell spawn
• > 3s for Wi-Fi reset
• > 5s for full factory reset

Rooting instructions:

• UART

Xiaomi Vacuum-Mop P

The Vacuum-Mop P is using the Viomi cloud stack but is actually made by 3irobotix.
There are three robots with different IDs under this name, and they’re all 3irobotix CRL-200S inside.
It’s very confusing. If unsure, please ask us first.

These are sold under the names:

• Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P
• Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop Pro (but nut the ijai one!!)
• Mijia STYJ02YM

Rooting is pretty easy, only requiring a Linux Laptop and a micro USB cable.
It might be required to remove the battery but that can be done without touching any warranty seals.

Warning:
Unfortunately, there are some unresolved issues with the Mijia STYTJ02YM viomi.vacuum.v8. If you have that robot, you might want to ask for assistance.

Note:
While Nimbus works with their model firmwares, the recommended rooting procedure is to flash these with a Viomi V6 firmware as that has more features.

Rooting instructions:

• ADB

Dreame

D9

The Dreame D9 is Dreame’s first ever Lidar-based vacuum robot. It is sold as:

Rooting instructions:

• UART

D9 Pro

The Dreame D9 Pro is sold as:

Important note:
Dreame never released any firmware updates for this robot.
However, we were able to port the regular D9 firmware to it, which is a huge improvement over the stock D9 Pro experience.

Rooting is pretty easy, only requiring a 3.3v USB UART Adapter and almost no disassembly. All warranty seals stay intact.
