Hi,
I would add control/schedulinng to my roomba 500 using these steps:

I have to add an ESP01...

I could use your dashboard to control also this roomba?

@pilot1981 looks like it talks to home assistant via mqtt switch and mqtt sensor

Based on the video's linked yaml config you'll get a switch that starts/stops, a status sensor, and a battery sensor.

That covers most of the important functions in my panel with the exception of bin status and return home. You can pull in the switch and two sensors directly and build another sensor for runtime based on the status sensor (see my HASS config for that)
