Map resets on each cleanup - loose access to zones

[ngmartins]

Hello.
First things first: kudos on the amazing job you're doing here :)

I'm experiencing something a bit weird and I didn't realize how to work around it yet.
I'm using the clean_zone_predefined mode like the below:

map_modes:
            - template: vacuum_clean_zone_predefined
              predefined_selections:
                - zones: [[22360, 23896, 26037, 28450]]
                  icon:
                    name: mdi:desktop-classic
                    x: 24263
                    y: 25978
                - zones: [[15803, 23667, 22250, 28451]]
                  icon:
                    name: mdi:sofa
                    x: 24401
                    y: 26736
         (...)

The icons on the zones are displayed on the map as expected.
BUT when a new cleanup starts, the previous map disappears, and a new map start being extracted...

This means that when I perform a cleanup on a single zone, I got a limited map where some of the zones cannot be displayed.
In the very extreme scenario, When I clean the zone where the dock is installed, no more zones can be cleaned (just this zone on the map - it is impossible to select the other zones).

Any workaround for this?
I don't mind the map being updated, but I would like to always have access to the zones.
Is there any way of listing the zones somehow?

Thanks :)

This isn't related to the map card, but to the vacuum itself. Which model do you have?

[ngmartins]

Yuhp... thats what I imagined. That's why I was asking if there is any way to work around it.
I have the xiaomi model SDJQR01RR, in the cn server (back in the time some of those functionalities were not available outside mainland china)

[PiotrMachowski]

This model name doesn't tell me much, do you know the one with dots?

[ngmartins]

I don't know the name of the model, so give you the model reference.
This is the one:

What do you mean by the one with dots?

[PiotrMachowski]

Ok, I have found it: rockrobo.vacuum.v1. I'm afraid I can't help you much - this is a standard behavior of your vacuum. You can try to create a snapshot of the map and use it instead of the live map.

[ngmartins]

Thanks for the feedback @PiotrMachowski 👍
I can use a static image when the vacuum is not in use. This way it will be possible to see the complete map.
However, as per my understanding, to use a static image I should perform a manual calibration. is that right?

[PiotrMachowski]

Yes, but you can just copy the calibration from the camera when you make a snapshot

[ngmartins]

GREAT! could you please point me to the right documentation?

[PiotrMachowski]

There's no documentation for it. You just have to use camera.snapshot service to create a snapshot and copy calibration points from the camera manually in dev tools.

[ngmartins]

ok got it.
Thanks for the support.
