AutoRoom Generation

Fully automatic

This feature seems to be working only on the S6 Model. We figured out this is why the Api call only delivers the mapping when the Rooms are named in the Xioami / Roborock App.

So when you have an S6 but not named the Rooms in your App this function will not work! Thanks @domeOo

Semi automatic

This feature seems to work with all models which offer room cleaning. To use it, in the config set autoroom to an array of room names. Then in the app, setup a timer at midnight (00:00 or 12:00am). Enable Select a room to divide. Then on the map select the rooms in the order as they appear in the homebridge config. The order is important as this is how the plugin maps the room names to IDs. Finally submit the timer and deactivate it. Then restart homebridge.
