But according to the FAQ, the vacuums still dont work when they are offline, as they will turn reset their wifi until they are online again.

> When the vacuum is disconnected from the internet, it will attempt to disconnect itself from Wi-Fi and reconnect itself until it can reach the Roborock servers.

Yeah, that’s exactly what happens if I don’t add an exception for it to my iot vlan - it keeps reconnecting to WiFi. Scheduled cleaning doesn’t work without internet either..

I guess I’m not buying the next vacuum until I’m 100% sure it works offline and supports Matter or something..

Personally, Im currently looking at the switchbot vacuums.

They recently started working with Home Assistant with their "Works with" program.

Not 100% sure what the status of each robot is though.

Yep it's an important distinction -- the vacuum itself depends on the cloud, but the integration in Home Assistant does not.
