Support for Cecotec Conga 7090

[triplecillas]

Hello,
I have tried to connect my Conga 7090 to Home Assistant through the Valetudo Add-on, but it has not been possible.
I opened an issue in the add-on repository and from there they recommended me to open it here.
I see that there is another issue active for the 4690 model, and I am wondering if the possible solution can be valid for both models, in which case this issue would not be necessary.
In any case, although my technical and systems knowledge is not very advanced, of course I will be more than happy to colaborate in the necessary work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @triplecillas,

Never heard of anyone with a 7090 model. Have you tried accessing the Conga through SSH or ADB? The first thing is to access the robot to see if the config is the same across models or is brand new.

It seems that I am the only crazy person who has bought this model :)
I have followed the instructions in https://github.com/txitxo0/valetudo-addon but I have only been able to get to step 2 of the section "Connect your robot",
I have not been able to access through ADB because I cannot find any USB port to connect to.
I have tried it with SSH. I am able to reach the robot and it asks for the password, but the two passwords provided in section 4 of https://gitlab.com/freeconga/stuff/-/blob/master/docs/rooting-conga.md are not valid.
So I cannot advance beyond this point.

Do you mind sending us some pictures of the front/back side of the robot? Lets see if we can spot the usb port. Usually it is hidden behind some plastic cover.

[triplecillas]

Of course, no problem.
I will send them throughout the day.

Here are the pictures.

It seems that it can be under the black label of "Conga Cecotec" removing the cover held by four screws.
Can it be?

Hi @triplecillas,

Our models have it on the back, where it says "Cyclone Tank". But it seems to be in the cover you spotted. I'm afraid you will need to open it up to reveal it and probably your guarantee will be voided. Do it at your own risk!

Hello @adrigzr
Thanks for the warning.
The cover turned out to be the battery (so replacing the battery seems easy) and underneath are various connectors, including a micro USB.
An additional piece of information, simply to provide information that may be valid for someone in the future, in the hole of the dirt tank there is a plastic cover similar to that of other models, but underneath there is only an empty hole.
I am going to test the USB method and report.

[triplecillas]

unfortunately the device is not responding, neither with "adb devices", nor with "adb shell".
Any idea how to progress?

No, no way. I didn't try, my technical knowledge is not enough to follow the steps to perform. El dom, 28 nov 2021 a las 18:46, Javier Martínez ***@***.***>) escribió:
