Remote control: After rooting with Valetudo the robot serves a local web UI, REST API and MQTT, so any computer on the network can control it. Unrooted, it is app only.
Overview
The J15 series is Eureka's (a Midea brand) all-in-one dock line, and three of its models are on the Valetudo list. Valetudo rates rooting as pretty easy and possible without breaking the warranty seal, needing just a Linux laptop and a micro USB cable, but warns the robots are not very recoverable if something goes wrong. Standout hardware includes a brush roll that cuts away tangled hair and, on the Max Ultra, liquid-spill detection that mops before vacuuming. The newer J15 Evo Ultra ($599.99) is not on the list, so the exact model matters. All three are sold new at Eureka US in October 2026, and for a cheaper rootable washing-dock option see the MOVA P10 Pro Ultra.
