Hey all,
I have an older Mini vaccum cleaner that is incompatible with the bluetooth modules. I recently bought a Shaper and got a little annoyed with all the bending back and forth--so I wanted to find a solution. I have a fair amount of background in reverse engineering RF devices though. So on a whim, I decided to buy one of the bluetooth adapters. To make a long story short, I was able to figure out how it worked enough to get it to work with one of these relay socket devices:

Basically all you do is plug your vaccum into that device, and keep it on manual. The remote does the rest of the work. If folks are interested, I can clean up the code a bit, and post it on github. For now, what I have is pretty basic, but with a little bit of work, I could set it up so that it can pair with multiple different remotes too.
Edit: I should add one important detail--this does not require the receiver to work. I've figured out how to get it to work with just bare remote. The device I linked to captures the signals directly because it has a chip inside of it with bluetooth LE capability.
