Abstract
Did you ever want to run your own IoT cloud on your IoT devices? Or did you ever wonder what data your vacuum cleaning robot is transmitting to the vendor? Why a vacuum cleaning robot needs tcpdump? Nowadays IoT devices are getting more and more powerful and contain a lot of sensors. As most devices are connected directly to the vendor and transmit all data encrypted to the cloud, this may result in privacy issues. An IoT device with no internet connection lacks numerous features or is even unusable. We want to change that. We show you how to root a Xiaomi vacuum cleaning robot in order to get access to the underlying Linux operating system(Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), **without opening the device or tampering the warranty seals**. Furthermore, we will have a look into the vendors cloud interface and its commands, and will show you how to de-attach the device from the cloud and connect it to your local Smart Home system. Finally, we will demonstrate how to run Smart Home software directly on the vacuum cleaning robot itself.
