Valetudo actively blocks the cloud connections. Are you sure about that? It’d be a pretty big feature to implement, and surely it would be something that the Valetudo author would mention in the docs for the project.

    It’d be a pretty big feature to implement, and surely it would be something that the Valetudo author would mention in the docs for the project. Dude. What? It is literally the only feature of Valetudo. Wat. What else would Valetudo possibly be doing other than disconnecting from the cloud?

    It’s just DNS based, and iirc dont require any major effort other than patching the hosts file. Of course it is possible it is not enough, but I have high confidence in the authors after also having watched various talks at I.e DEFCON, that i would be surprised if they missed the firmware doing other nasty things. Patching DNS is specifically possible to enable/disable on the firmware build tool: I.e builder.dontvacuum.me/_dreame_r2416.html and the source for that is here github.com/dgiese/…/modifys8image.sh#L169
