I'm looking for a vacuum robot preferably under 500€ and with a cleaning station. My main concern is that most robot vacuum providers seem to need to be connected to the internet. Are there any providers that either don't need that, where I can block the internet connection or any other way not getting a spy in my home? I'm fine with it if some work is needed

Because Valetudo is not a custom firmware, it cannot change anything about how the robot operates.

Yeap you are right, custom firmware is the wrong phrase perhaps my fastidious friend :P. I suppose you can call it "cloud replacement" software that runs on the robot after you flash a rooted firmware that allows you to make changes.
