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 |
