I have an 880 that works just fine - no camera, no wifi. Comes with a remote and when it bumps into something with its soft rubber bumpers it adjusts its trajectory and keeps going

Valetudo exists for local only operation of robot vacuums. Not for the point and click among our modern society, but if someone was paranoid enough they’d probably make it happen.

Many “smart” devices can be modified, blocked or just not connected in the first place. I prefer to waste hours of my life figuring out extravagant ways to break these devices, only sometimes enabling local only functions.

Oh i have an entire fake wifi network for devices that demand it.
