Hi I just bought an IRobot i1+ and installed the app IRobot home but it doesn't have the features of room dividers, room labels, etc. Is what you have specific to only other IRobots?
Thanks! This video was very helpful :-) How long does it take the Roomba to have mapped the floor so you can define different rooms? So far after six runs it hasn't mapped the ground floor yet. Should I wait for the ground floor to be mapped before I use it on a different floor? I wonder what your experiences are :-)
Well we only ran it on the one floor for a while before trying the others so the map had formed. To get the map you're going to have to check what kinda run its going on. Just that free for all clean style and let it go. Took about 4 or 5 for us to have a basic map and then tweaked it/updated as it did more.
What can you do if your robot finds a new space after mapping? Like if I’m vacuuming the office but finds a new space like the other side of the office I didn’t get to map! What do i do?
Note: As of May 2022 i3 DOES support Smart Mapping. Get the new firmware. Mine works fine. It just lacks the zone exclusion feature but you can map all rooms and send to seperate rooms as needed.
You move the Roomba to 2nd floor or basement (pick it up, move, and it recognizes where it is). My question: can I move the base also from 1st to 2nd floor so that Roomba can empty and recharge no matter which floor it is on?
I have the same question. Did you get an answer? I’m considering buying a 2nd base because moving the base upstairs seems to confuse the robot. It combines my two floors into the same map. And, then it seems like it can never figure out how to get “home”.
Was the room accessible for it to get into? Sometimes it takes a few runs for it to recognize there is a "separation" between two spaces. There is a way in the map to manually split the room as well.
I’m looking to buy my first Roomba so I’m not really sure which one I should go with! I’ve been looking into the 981. Would you have any recommendations? It’s just my kitty and myself here, and we share a one floor apartment. Biggest concern is the poor vacuum falling to it’s death, as I’m on the second floor and my door is at the bottom of my steps. I’ve watched a video or two and I see that they can stop themselves, but it still worries me a little 😅
they do stop themselves, so no worries there. personally i like my i7+ ... having the dirt base and the interactive map (i.e. labelling parts of the room and saying "clean under the couch") is so worth it.
Only ran it once and no map, can the i3 do mapping? This. Would be very convenient for me. Perhaps I need to run it three or four times before it establishes a map?
just bought a new 976 and can't see map option as well however I believe that it would appear after first cleaning ride as soon as roomba would map the floor
Mine's the i7+ If it has the smart mapping feature (there 976) it needs to run in a "clean everywhere" mode before it starts to figure out that map and suggest rooms etc
I have a question , should i keep the clean base connected to electricity all the time , or can i unplug it when going to bed and then replug it when i wakeup, cuz i’m using 220 v converter and it scares me to leave it plugged in?? sorry if i wasn’t clear english ain’t my first language ,also will unplugging it erase scheduling and stuff ?
I leave mine plugged in all the time. At the end of the day you only need it to charge the robot and run the emptying bin part... I can't imagine the hassle of plugging it in and off is less than just leaving it on
@@juliettexox9311 just googling it and it seems no... It smartly navigates but doesn't sound like it has the smart map feature... If it does it should appear after you've done a few clean everywhere runs
Can you rotate the zones? I have a corner flat and my current robot vacuum (Conga) is very annoying because the entire map is angled and my zones are oriented in such a way as you make creating tight no-go zones for a heavy rug misaligned (and therefore have to be huge to cover the whole thing)
Its stupid all of it is in 1 map. If I have a no go zone at the dinner table, it seems impossible to make a new job where it cleans that area and then I mark a new place where the seats are placed that it should not clean. but problem is that cleaning area can not overlap no go zone. it will simply not go there... The jobs should be seperated with the same map but different layouts for different jobs

I am wondering the same thing. Does anyone have an answer for this?
I'm also facing this issue.
Thanks! came to see what those dark green spots are on the map history. Couldn't find this info anywhere.

How can I go to maps?
What can you do if your robot finds a new space after mapping? Like if I’m vacuuming the office but finds a new space like the other side of the office
I didn’t get to map! What do i do?
Like an area of the office that it hadn't mapped before? It should learn to update a given map.
can you add a 2nd iRobot unit to the app and control both units from within the same app?
I got a Roomba i4 a few days ago, but the map hasn't appeared yet. Any ideas?
I haven't done a full run. Either it gets stuck and I have to cancel it, or it runs out of battery. Would that affect it?
Hi there! I just bought the Roomba 966 and I don’t have the “maps” option as well.
I have Roomba i4 and maps are not showing up, any idea
Did anyone get a fix for this? I don't have a map yet either!
@@meganminer5613 i3 and i4 do not have digital mapping. just after the cleaner is done they show a map of what they did. nothing more.
This map icon is not showing in my app.
what model Roomba do you have
@@ryanmmoore1977 980
@@thewebkat looks like it should. Have had it do some "clean everywhere" runs... Those are needed a few times before the maps are learned
@@ryanmmoore1977 I own this from 2015 , it may overlearned haha.I reset and I hope after few days it will learn
I have Roomba I1152 , do you know If has mapping?
Mine doesn’t give the option to name the areas it’s about to clean. It just says “new job” “name of vacuum” and “duration” to clean. That’s about it
Do you get a map? Maybe some models don't have that right mapping smarts

Can you tell where the home button is?Can't send the robot to thw docking station
To the left of the centre "clean" button. It's marked as a house.
Does the s9 have any issues with thresholds? Looking at getting one and am worried
According to Roomba the highest they can do is 5/8"

Apparently it's a new update so should be coming soon

Unfortunately no ... Looks like everything lives in the 90 degree world
Is going too fast in explaining. Is not telling where to go in the app it just pops up without telling how to do it or where.
Thanks
