How to configure Dreametech vacuum in Home Asisstant?

I have a Dreametech L10s Ultra vacuum that HA recognizes via the Xiaomi Miot Auto integration. I'm trying to add a custom:xiaomi-vacuum-map-card to a dashboard, and the vacuum is recognized but the camera (which I guess is the map) isn't working due to "Invalid calbiration". But the calibration is whatever was automatically set by the card when I chose the vacuum. Hmmm.

I have the camera/map set in configuration.yaml as follows:

    
camera:
  - platform: xiaomi_cloud_map_extractor
    host: !secret xiaomi_vacuum_host
    token: !secret xiaomi_vacuum_token
    username: !secret xiaomi_cloud_username
    password: !secret xiaomi_cloud_password
    draw: ['all']
    attributes:
      - calibration_points
      - charger
      - cleaned_rooms
      - country
      - goto_path
      - goto_predicted_path
      - goto
      - ignored_obstacles_with_photo
      - ignored_obstacles
      - image
      - is_empty
      - map_name
      - no_go_areas
      - no_mopping_areas
      - obstacles_with_photo
      - obstacles
      - path
      - room_numbers
      - rooms
      - vacuum_position
      - vacuum_room_name
      - vacuum_room
      - walls
      - zones

This vacuum has not been Valetudo-ed - it's in new condition from the vendor.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

As you mentioned Valetudo: I can highly recommend it! The HA integration is very beautiful too.
- Will the valetudo vacuum card/integration work with an un-valetudo-ed vacuum?
  
  I would assume no since Valetudo has its own API.
  
  I highly doubt it aswell, since valetudo api is running locally. The solutions from the manifacturers always connect to a cloud as far as I am informed. Anyways i never tried any of these "original" solutions as my vacuum was never activated before flashing valetudo. It's one of my fav open source projects since the documentation is sooo good and helpful. If you want to know how I made it or need help > hmu on matrix or here. Greets
- That worked wonderfully! Thanks, @ipp0@lemmy.world.
  I had originally tried this HACS integration when I was first setting up my vacuum and it failed. The reason turned out to be a subnet issue, but by the time I figured that out, I had forgotten about the Dreame Vacuum integration.
  Do you know if the Dreame Vacuum integration supports the video camera on the vacuum? Or is there another way to view the vacuum's camera in HA?
- Also, while this integration recognizes the mopping capability of the vacuum (it shows the status of the mop heads in terms of dry or moist), it doesn't seem to offer the ability to control the mopping functionality (I can't see a way to change the mop settings like I can with the vacuum's fan speed). Interesting.
