Anybody know how I can get my Roomba to work with Smartthings? I know you have to create a virtual switch with IFTTT but I get lost after that

Best answer
Use IFTTT to create applets to send commands to Roomba that triggered by the virtual switch. Create a WebCoRE piston to automate the schedule. When the virtual switch changes to ON then Roomba starts. OFF Roomba returns home.

I haven't done it but I'd set up ifttt to turn on cleaning when the switch is turned on and then in ST create an automation to turn on the switch based on whatever you want to trigger it.
