There’s this new WiFi add-on for iRobot Roomba, nicely embedded and protected by a replacement faceplate, that enables you to control it wherever you are through an iPhone (or Android) app or web-app. It also makes use of geofencing technology, so it will start cleaning when you leave the house. I saw it on Kickstarter, it might be something for you, if you want to integrate your Roomba with WiFi,.. did anyone see this?? Looks really nice and i think i could make a plugin for it...
