The card and dashboards¶

The map card is bundled with the integration: add a card, pick Tapo Vacuum, done. For a whole dashboard in one step, use the strategy.

Adding the card¶

Pick Tapo Vacuum in the card picker, or in YAML:

type: custom:tapo-rv30-card
entity: vacuum.robot

Option	Default	What it does
`entity`		The Tapo vacuum (required)
`name`	the entity's name	Title at the top of the card
`show_presets`	`true`	The row of Tapo-app presets under the map
`show_controls`	`true`	Start, pause, stop, dock, locate and empty bin
`rotate`	`0`	0, 90, 180 or 270, for maps the robot scanned sideways

All of these are in the card's visual editor too.

Using the map¶

The buttons at the top right of the map switch what a tap does.

Rooms: tap rooms to select them, then press Clean. Hold a room to see when it was last cleaned and how much of it the robot covered, and to clean it with chosen suction, water and passes.
Zone: drag a rectangle to clean it, or tap one of the saved zones from the Tapo app.
Go to: tap a point and press Go; the robot drives there. Hidden on robots without go-to-point.
Status: the last clean map, the recent runs and consumable life.
Floors: with several maps, chips at the bottom switch floors.

Whole dashboard in one line¶

Create a dashboard (Settings, Dashboards, Add dashboard, New dashboard from scratch), open its raw configuration editor and replace the contents with:

strategy:
  type: custom:tapo-rv30

It builds a view per robot: the card, one-tap room buttons, presets, the last clean map, status, maintenance, settings, schedules and totals, all from the entities the integration created, so it follows renames and models. A floor switcher appears when the robot has several maps, and the header shows status, current room, battery and progress, with a banner when the robot reports a problem.

Hand-built dashboard¶

examples/dashboard.yaml is a ready-made view with controls, status chips, the live map, presets, one-tap rooms, settings and maintenance. Its chip rows use Mushroom.

Other map cards¶

The Xiaomi Vacuum Map Card works with the map camera; the calibration points are in services and events.
