Just got this update which renamed my app to “iRobot Home (Classic)” so I looked up what’s “non-classic” and found this.
minus-squareTaldan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·14 hours agoDo Roombas not have mapping and customizable routes? I have a Roborock, and I wouldn’t be able to use it well without the app. So many little settings like having it do extra passes by the entry way, or be quiet in certain rooms have been amazing
minus-squareutopiah@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-212 hours agoBased on https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1jb2uvt/roomba_accidentally_saw_outside_and_now_i_cant/ I’d bet some models surely do. That being said, I am NOT promoting Roomba or any other brand, I’m only highlighting that apps aren’t necessarily a requirement for the basic feature. Finally, as others suggested if one genuinely does need such feature and is mindful about privacy, I’d check https://valetudo.cloud/ first then see what harder supports it, which sadly doesn’t seem to support Roomba or Roborock AFAICT. It does, lucky you, check https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html#roborock Edit: apparently “Xiaomi V1 is made by Roborock” according to https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html so maybe there is way, worth investigating for you IMHO.
