Robot vacuum you can only reach by talking to it

A robot vacuum with no API, but it responds to voice commands from its own microphone. Control it from Home Assistant by having a speaker in the room say the commands — and know whether it obeyed.

Requirements

A service that turns Home Assistant actions ("clean the kitchen") into the exact phrases the vacuum understands, played through a networked speaker

Confirmation: listen on a microphone for the vacuum's acknowledgement tone and report success or failure

Do not speak while a person is talking in the room (simple VAD on the mic)

Queue commands; never talk over the previous one

A simulator that plays the vacuum's tones so the loop can be tested on a laptop

Bonus Points

Learn the acknowledgement tone from three examples instead of hard-coding it

Starter repo

You connect the GoShip MCP server to Claude Code or Cursor. It records your prompts, tool calls and test runs, and that record is what gets scored.
