It’s bloody annoying when all I want to do is vacuum the floor and Roomba says nope, “active AWS incident”.

If all you wanted to do was vacuum the floor you would not have gotten that particular vacuum cleaner. Clearly you wanted to do more than just vacuum the floor and something like this happening should be weighed with the purchase of the vacuum.
I’ll rephrase. I wanted the floor vacuumed and I didn’t want to do it.
When I bought my automated sprinkler system, I got one that would continue to work if the company or the cloud went belly up.
