Is dreame_vacuum an official Home Assistant integration?

No. It is a community integration installed through HACS, not part of core Home Assistant. It is well regarded and actively developed, but it is maintained outside the core project.

Can it run without the cloud?

Not entirely. It offers a local connection mode on the same subnet using the device token, which cuts cloud dependency, but setup uses a Dreame or Xiaomi account and some newer models still need the cloud for map data. For a fully cloud-free build, root a supported robot and run Valetudo.

Which robots does it support?

Dreame, Mijia, and MOVA robot vacuums across the F, D, L, S, W, and X lines. Support is broad, but check the project's list for your exact model.

Dreame Vacuum & Home Assistant

Robot Vacuums

The dreame_vacuum integration is a community project, installed through HACS, that brings Dreame, Mijia, and MOVA robot vacuums into Home Assistant. It works as a near-complete replacement for the Dreame app, with a vacuum entity, a live multi-floor map, room and zone cleaning, and detailed sensors for brush, filter, and station status. Dreame has no core Home Assistant integration, so this is the native path most owners use.

It connects one of two ways, and both need the robot on the same subnet. Cloud mode uses your Dreame or Xiaomi account and is the most broadly compatible. Local mode talks to the robot directly with its device token, which cuts cloud dependency, though setup still uses your account and some newer models rely on the cloud for map data. For a build with no cloud at all, root a supported robot and run Valetudo instead.

How Dreame Vacuum Works with Home Assistant

Getting Dreame Vacuum connected to Home Assistant and running reliably.

1

Install through HACS

dreame_vacuum is a custom integration, so it is added and updated through HACS rather than shipping with core Home Assistant.

2

Sign in and connect

Setup uses your Dreame or Xiaomi account to find the robot. You then choose cloud or local mode, with the robot on the same subnet either way.

3

Map rooms and automate

The integration publishes a live map and named segments, so per-room cleaning and clean-when-away or after-dinner automations work once segments are matched to Home Assistant areas.

Common Dreame Vacuum Issues

The problems installers run into with Dreame Vacuum and Home Assistant — and how a managed setup prevents them.

It is a custom, community integration

dreame_vacuum is not part of core Home Assistant. It is installed and updated through HACS, and support depends on a community maintainer rather than the core team.

A cloud account is needed for setup

Both connection modes authenticate through a Dreame or Xiaomi account, so a cloud login is part of setup even when you later run in local mode.

Local mode has limits

Local mode reduces cloud dependency and needs the robot on the same subnet with its device token, but some newer models still fetch map data from the cloud.

Not a fully cloud-free path

Because setup and, on many models, the map depend on the vendor cloud, this is not a fully offline option. Valetudo on a rooted robot is the only fully cloud-free path for Dreame.

Why installers choose managed Dreame setups

HACS installed and kept current so the integration does not silently fall behind
Cloud or local mode chosen to fit the client's privacy and reliability needs
Segments mapped to Home Assistant areas for reliable per-room cleaning
Privacy-critical sites steered to Valetudo-rootable hardware instead

D9

Dreame

A Dreame D9 or D9 Pro rooted and reflashed with cloud-free Valetudo firmware. It publishes a full vacuum entity and live map to Home Assistant over MQTT, runs on the local network, and can have its internet access blocked. One of the most private options in this catalog, and often easier to root than the Roborock equivalents.

L40 Ultra

Dreame

A mid-range Dreame flagship. With no core Home Assistant integration, its native path is the community dreame_vacuum integration over HACS, which runs in cloud or local mode. Valetudo is the fully cloud-free option on rootable boards.

X50 Ultra

Dreame

Dreame's step-climbing flagship. With no core Home Assistant integration, its native path is the community dreame_vacuum integration over HACS, which runs in cloud or local mode. Valetudo is the fully cloud-free option on rootable boards.
