Roborock Sensors Missing in Home Assistant 2025.12.0b0? Here's the Scoop!

Hey guys, have you ever encountered that frustrating moment when your Home Assistant setup suddenly loses some of its sensors? Well, I recently ran into this issue after updating to Home Assistant core-2025.12.0b0, and I'm here to share my experience and hopefully help you troubleshoot it too. Specifically, I noticed that several sensors related to my Roborock vacuum were MIA. Let's dive into what happened and how you might be able to fix it.

The Problem: Missing Sensors After the Update

So, after the upgrade, a bunch of sensors just vanished from my Home Assistant dashboard. These weren't just any sensors; they were the ones I rely on to monitor and control my Roborock vacuum cleaner. The missing sensors included critical ones like the vacuum's image, the emptying mode, the charging options, and even the child lock settings. Seriously, it's like my vacuum decided to go rogue and hide its data! Here's a quick rundown of the specific sensors that went AWOL:

  • image.roborock_vacuum_poppy_ground_floor (Erdgeschoss) - The image sensor, crucial for visualizing the vacuum's location on the ground floor.
  • select.roborock_dock_poppy_emptying_mode (Entleerungsmodus) - The sensor that controls the dock's emptying mode.
  • switch.roborock_vacuum_poppy_charge_outside_offpeak (Laden zum Niedertarif) - A switch to enable charging during off-peak hours.
  • switch.roborock_vacuum_poppy_child_lock (Kindersicherung) - The child lock for one vacuum.
  • switch.roborock_vacuum_rocky_child_lock (Kindersicherung) - The child lock for another vacuum.

These sensors were working perfectly fine in the previous version, core-2025.11.3, so it was pretty clear that the update was the culprit. This really made me start to freak out! I rely heavily on automation for this vacuum. If this happened to you, don't worry, it might be possible to get the vacuum back to how it was before.

The Root Cause and a Potential Fix

I wasn't the only one experiencing this issue. After a bit of digging, I found a similar problem reported in issue #157366. It turned out that a specific folder might be causing the issue. After some research, I found that deleting a particular folder, as suggested in the linked issue, could potentially resolve the problem. After deleting the problematic folder and restarting Home Assistant, I was able to load the Roborock integration again. This suggests that the issue might stem from some leftover configuration files or conflicts within the integration.

This fix is not guaranteed to work for everyone, but it's worth trying if you're facing similar issues. If you have been facing the same issues as I, then I recommend you try this too. After deleting the folder, you might need to reconfigure the Roborock integration. Here's a brief recap of what happened:

  1. Identify the Problem: Recognize that your Roborock sensors are missing after updating Home Assistant.
  2. Research: Look for similar issues and potential solutions (like the one in issue #157366).
  3. Implement a Fix: Delete the problematic folder mentioned in the issue.
  4. Reload the Integration: Reload the Roborock integration within Home Assistant.

What Version of Home Assistant Core is Affected?

The primary culprit here is Home Assistant core-2025.12.0b0. If you're running this version, chances are you might run into the same sensor woes. The good news is that by following the steps above, you may be able to resolve it. If you are experiencing this, then don't be afraid to try this. It may be the solution you're looking for! If you are not on this version, then you may not have this issue.

Troubleshooting Steps for the Missing Sensors

If you're facing this issue, here's a structured approach to troubleshoot it:

  1. Verify the Version: Double-check that you're running Home Assistant core-2025.12.0b0.
  2. Check Logs: Review your Home Assistant logs for any error messages related to the Roborock integration. These logs can provide valuable clues about what's going wrong. They will give you more clues on how to fix the problem.
  3. Integration Health: Ensure the Roborock integration is still correctly configured and enabled. Sometimes, updates can inadvertently disable integrations.
  4. Restart Home Assistant: A simple restart can often resolve minor glitches and help the integration reload properly.
  5. Reinstall Integration: If all else fails, consider removing and then reinstalling the Roborock integration. This is like a factory reset.

Additional Considerations and Info

It's important to know that I am running Home Assistant OS. Also, the Roborock integration is the cause of this problem. If your setup is different, the steps may vary slightly.

Conclusion: Getting Your Roborock Back on Track!
