Valetudo is an API proxy to control robots via an associated app in order to avoid vendor clouds.

It is not a robot firmware and has no role here.

It could still be the UI for this, if they wanted to, and they just implement the guts behind it with that in mind. It's not everything, but the UI is still something you can ~skip.
