With the iRobot HOME app, you have control over where your Roomba goes. The app acts as a hub for all your iRobot products, allowing you to easily start or end cleaning jobs and even schedule vacuum times.
One of the main features of the app is the ability to start or stop cleaning jobs remotely. This means that you can initiate a cleaning cycle even when you’re not at home. For example, let’s say you’re at work and realize that your house needs a quick clean before guests arrive. You can simply open the app on your phone, select your Roomba, and start a cleaning job. Your Roomba will then begin to vacuum your floors, even if you’re miles away.
In addition to starting cleaning jobs remotely, the app also allows you to schedule vacuum times. This is particularly useful if you have a regular routine or if you want your Roomba to clean while you’re away. For instance, you can set your Roomba to start cleaning every day at 9 am when you’re at work. By the time you get back home, your floors will be clean and ready for you to enjoy.
But what if you want to control where your Roomba goes within your home? The iRobot HOME app also allows you to do that. Using the app, you can create virtual walls or set up zones to designate specific areas that you want your Roomba to avoid or target. This is especially handy if you have certain rooms or areas with delicate items or cords that you want to protect from the vacuum. By setting up virtual walls or zones, you can ensure that your Roomba stays away from those areas.
To create a virtual wall, you simply use the app to draw a line on the map of your home. This line acts as a barrier that your Roomba will not cross. For example, if you have a room with expensive vases or fragile objects, you can draw a virtual wall around that room to prevent your Roomba from entering. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your valuables won’t be accidentally knocked over or damaged.
In addition to virtual walls, you can also set up zones using the app. Zones allow you to specify certain areas that you want your Roomba to focus on. For example, if you have a high-traffic area in your home that gets dirtier than other areas, you can create a zone around that specific area and schedule your Roomba to clean it more frequently. This ensures that the most heavily used areas of your home are always kept clean.
With the iRobot HOME app, you have control over where your Roomba goes. You can start or end cleaning jobs remotely, schedule vacuum times, and even create virtual walls or zones to designate specific areas that you want your Roomba to avoid or target. This level of control allows you to customize your cleaning experience and ensure that your Roomba cleans exactly where you want it to.
