figure out the room Valetudo robot is right now.

@carefulcomputer sorry for the delayed response. home with the flu... I uploaded my complete flow to this repo: https://github.com/okets/Valetudo-NodeRed-Extensions Feel free to add/change whatever you want.

This is so simple and brilliant thank you so much for this!

Thanks for the script! With the help of NodeRed I made a small automation to disable obstacle recognition in a certain segment, that the robot can't pass with it enabled.
