There are a couple of these. Here's one for ECOVACS:

Wonder to be able to disentangle these devices from invasive phone apps.

As an avid bumper user, it desperately needs a front end because Ecovacs's app is constantly changing and adding alternative routes of telemetry. (I'm 2/2 stale PRs on that repo)

Valetudo is a full-er solution it seems. Props to the author. Though, bumper does not require reprogramming the bot, it does require lots of local DNS hijacking.

Is it worth setting up for an Ecovac bot?
