What's the iRobot Home app and what can you use it for?

The iRobot Home App has many options, but keep in mind that the available options depend on the robot vacuum you have. In this article, we'll explain which functions the app offers.

• Map your house
• Watch the cleaning remotely
• Choose your favorite cleaning routines
• Solve error messages
• Connect your robot vacuum to your smart home
• Connect your iRobot Roomba to the Braava mopping robot

Your iRobot Roomba robot maps your house and creates a floor plan. You can find this in the app. You can determine where the robot should and shouldn't clean, for example. You can customize the map with no-go zones. The robot then knows that it's not allowed to enter that part of your house. You can also see where the robot has found obstacles in the app. This way, it'll remember where they are for the next cleaning.

If your robot vacuum is cleaning when you're at the office, you obviously don't know which rooms it'll clean. That's why you'll receive a cleaning report after every cleaning routine. You'll see how many square meters it has vacuumed, for example. The robot vacuum also tells you how long the cleaning took and whether it unexpectedly encountered dirty spots.

You can save cleaning routines in the iRobot Home app. For example, create a quick cleaning session when visitors come over. Or choose a cleaning routine where the robot cleans the areas that easily become dirty more often. Because the robot also learns, it gives you suggestions for new routines. Based on previous cleaning sessions, it makes a new schedule that better suits your lifestyle. This way, your robot cleans a bit better every day.

Does your iRobot give an error message and doesn't it work properly anymore? Find solutions to common problems in the iRobot Home app. Step-by-step tips will help you solve problems with little effort. This way, you ensure that your household aid quickly resumes cleaning.

You can connect the iRobot robot vacuums to your smart home hub for even more convenience. This way, you can control the robot vacuum with your voice. Did you accidentally leave crumbs on the dining table? Tell your robot to vacuum the dining room cleaning zone, so you don't have to use a vacuum yourself. With a smart home connection, you also ensure that the robot starts cleaning when you leave the house. That way, you'll come home to a clean house.

The iRobot Imprint Link Technology enables collaboration between the Braava M6 mopping robot and iRobot robot vacuum cleaners. Thanks to Imprint Link Technology, the mopping robot automatically starts when the robot vacuum has finished vacuuming. So you don't have turn on the mopping robot yourself, but the robots automatically coordinate their cleaning tasks.
