Ecovacs Robot Control

Auth Flow

Three-step flow: Login → Device List → Send Command

Full API details in references/api.md. Core script in scripts/ecovacs.py.

Session Management

Session (token + userid + resource) is stored in ~/.ecovacs_session.json after login. Always load_session() before calling device APIs. Re-login if token expired (errno 3000).

Critical Rule

toType = device's class field from device list (e.g. o0lqjm).
NOT "device" or "USER" — this is the #1 cause of errno:3003 permission denied.

Using the Script

# First time login
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py login <phone> <md5_or_plain_password>

# List all devices (shows did, status, name)
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py devices

# Check battery (use did or nick)
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py battery <did>

# Check clean status
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py status <did>

# Start full-house auto clean
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py clean <did> start

# Pause / resume / stop
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py clean <did> pause
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py clean <did> resume
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py clean <did> stop

# Return to dock
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py charge <did>

# Send any arbitrary command
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py cmd <did> getLifeSpan '{"type":"brush,sideBrush,heap"}'
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py cmd <did> setSpeed '{"speed":1}'
python3 scripts/ecovacs.py cmd <did> getWorkMode '{}'

Direct API Calls

When using tools directly (not script), follow this pattern:

# 1. Login
session = login(phone, md5(password))

# 2. Get devices
devices = get_devices(session)
device = next(d for d in devices if "T50" in d["deviceName"])

# 3. Send command
result = send_cmd(session, device, "clean_V2", {
    "act": "start",
    "content": {"type": "auto", "count": 1}
})

See references/api.md for full protocol reference:

Auth & device discovery — login, resource generation, device list fields
All command payloads — clean_V2, charge, battery, stats, speed, water, workmode, lifespan, autoEmpty, maps, schedules
State/event codes — error codes, evt codes, clean states

Error Handling

errno	meaning
3000	Token expired → re-login
3003	Permission denied → check `toType` = device `class`
30000	Device response timeout → device offline
0 (body.code)	Success
