Control your LG HomBot with Homey.
The LG Hombot/VParquet vacuum cleaner does NOT have network-capabilities by default. However, since it has a USB port, you can upgrade the firmware, load custom firmware and equip it with a Wi-Fi dongle. How to do this is explained here:

If you don't do this, you cannot control the vacuum cleaner with Homey using this app.
- This app could not have existed without the original creator of this app: Chamid Media.
- This is complete rewrite of his excellent app, so it complies with the latest SDK (v3).
- Local discovery is added, so you should be able to find the vacuum automatically.
