@undertow any progress on the 880 double press issue? I find that mine won’t even wake for the double press much of the time.
agreed that would be good re DHCP. stronger WiFi signal and ability to never loose config unless button on unit is manually pressed - irrespective of loss of power or not - would be great.
Yes I have an option in settings that enables the double press. I been testing for about 3 weeks without an issue I can push it to mios tomorrow.
Hi,
I have stopped using the RooWifi because of the connection drops, losing settings and so on.
I hope the Thinkingcleaner works better.
Love to have thinkingcleaner support later on so i can use this plugin again.
@Undertoe, the api documentation is available http://www.thinkingcleaner.com/downloads/TC_API.pdf
connection drops, losing settings and so on
I too get frustrated with this - i have a pig test to identify any drops but still a pest. not seen thinking cleaner before - will have a read of that looks interesting! 
What means add-on to your roomba ?
is a part to insert in roomba and turn better ? or another product ??
WOw what a great product! I would definitely be interested in pre-ordering one of these. I don’t see integration being a problem at all. The only problem is i have a 7x and 8x series. So i would need a 5 or 6 to test on. I have contacted the company and asked if just the model works on 7x and 8x. If it does i can probably 3d print my own top cover to fit the 7 or 8.
Also i pushed the newest update for 8x double start to Github. I would like some others to test it prior to putting it on mios. Once updated you just need to change the variable “800dblstart” to 1 and it will now work.

I am such a “punter” - having a long day - saw this - watched videos - got really excited - pre ordered immediately!!! lol
I cant wait to have a cover back on my Roomba - poor thing looks like some kind of cyborg with the circuit board sticking out!
I am hoping that the new board inside this thing will have a better capability to hold connection information and data - the sheer fact its software can be updated over the air is a drastic improvement.
@undertoe - if you are able to integrate new API for this - I can be you tester if that help and you wanted to? Will let you know when it arrives.
…okay back to the “long day”
some expect for sale this product in USA ?
thanks
USA was a postage option so I guess you can get one.
They had some trouble with the mould for the cover.
This is what they said in their last newsletter (28 october 2014):
[i]We have some great news to share, the mould problems we encountered have been resolved.
The new mould is almost finished and we expect the plastics to be here within a few weeks. Of course this also means that we expect to ship our complete product shortly after that.
Thank you al for your patience and all positive and encouraging feedback!
On the hardware side:
The electronic boards are ready and in stock for assembly and the packaging is in stock too. When the plastic enclosures finally arrive we can start the assembly, packing and shipping hooray !!.
On the software side:
Thinking Cleaner firmware has been tested all the time and thanks to our beta testers lots of small problems have been found (and we fixed them) and some new features have been added. One of the new features is XML data files for compatibility with some home automation systems.[/i]
We are close to the finish, thank you again for your patience?
For all our pre-order customers, the next mail will be about shipping the ordered units to you,?
And if you did not order yet just be aware we ship units on a first come first served bases until the first production supply runs out.
They need to make a 7x 8x topcover!
I reckon they will - makes sense that if all works then it would be natural progression.
Hi,
I also pre-ordered the unit a while back. Happy to do some testing if i can assist at all once it arrives. Would love to have this integrated into my setup.
I probably won’t be able to do any work until they make it for 7x or 8x I have no older roombas to test on
Hi undertoe, no worries - we appreciate any help at any stage. I will email them and state such an option would be desired. I will in the mean time have a play with it when it arrives and see how things go. exciting
@Undertoe, check this https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thinkingbits/thinking-cleaner-the-wifi-add-on-to-your-irobot-ro
They are going to create one for 700/800 models.
My unit (for the 550) will arrive this or next week.
Yea talked to the guys and thinking of distributing in the US. Keep us posted how the 550 works.
Received the unit today.
Installation was very easy.
First impressions:
first tip, if you are using the roomba’s own scheduler clear this (hold spot and dock for 10 seconds) before you start configuring thinking-cleaner.
if you don’t you will reset the thinking-cleaner because they use the spot button for reset also.
So after the second config everything worked fine.
Range is good, kept getting ping replies throughout my apartment.
Haven’t lost connection in the last 3 hours, just a couple requests timed out with the pings which is normal on wifi networks.
Webinterface looks clean.
You can connect your roomba to the thinkingcleaner servers so you can control your roomba when you’re not at home. I’m not going to use this at the moment.
So first impressions are good, but we will see in the coming weeks how stable it is. The roowifi also functioned good in the beginning.
