You can’t do shit on those roombas without a connection to the manufacturers servers.
On and off is the most you can do.
In order to make them work again once the servers are down, you need to spoof the dns to a local server that you then need to reverse engineer from the api.
If you are lucky the thing has home assistant integration because some awesome people already did exactly that or the manufacturer was kind enough to give access to the bot api

No fucking way this was decided by an engineer instead of a manager

Dumb shit like this is never the engineer’s idea.
