iRobot Home App down due to AWS outage (twitter.com/irobot)

At least their auto-reply Twitter bot works:

"This certainly isn't the experience we want you to have. Please know that our team is aware and monitoring the situation and hope to get the App back online soon. We appreciate your understanding and patience."

It'd be funny if the team wasn't doing anything, and this is just a bot that turns active when something is down...


Obligatory robot vacuum root links and info: https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud https://dontvacuum.me/robotinfo/

I have an S50 rooted through this information. Now it only talks to itself and we control it through the webpage hosted on itself. Still has zones, schedules etc. It is brilliant.


Internet of shit is right.


At least the internet of shit has security, though
