It seems to find the device, however it leaves it greyed out and I can't do anything with it. The Roborock app never finds it, the Xiaomi home which I've used since the start does, but not like how it was originally. It's fully charged... I'm stumped.

alec76 wrote: » Roborock app doesn’t support S50 model, only the newest ones ( s5 max etc) Xiaomi home should work though. I would delete the app , reset the device itself ( there is a pinhole for resetting ) and install it from the scratch. ps.Sometimes xiaomi’s smart devices very sensitive on what server they are connnected ( Europe, Mainland China etc ) some of them won’t work on Europe server if they not Global , but Chinese version)

Raoul wrote: » Ah nice! It finished cleaning the apartment. Did a great job. Got caught on one surround sound speaker wire and disconnected it. My fault really as I was testing would it be able to somehow get past it without disrupting it. I had to clean it afterwards, the amount of hair in it was disgusting! I knew our previous vacuum that we were using was crappy but my god. Seems the cleaning of the robot itself is another big benefit, it is totally modular and easy to take apart to clean in just a few minutes.

Raoul wrote: » I found that just after one run, it had mapped out the house and then I was able to split it into different rooms and zones.
druss wrote: » Very fast to set up. Plug in, download app, detect Roborock with app, job done. It had 50% charge on arrival, so I let it loose straight away. It seemed to be slower in this first detection phase and it ran the battery down to around 20% before announcing it was going for a coffee break and back to dock. It had done around 30 m2. I then remembered someone saying on thread that saved maps were not enabled in app by default, and sure enough they weren't. So I waited for a full recharge, changed the settings and then let it loose to build and store the map. This time, it did the entire downstairs area of 75 m2 in 75 mins. It got caught twice with one awkward chair which has a swivel base. I blocked the base off with random stuff and will probably have to set that as a no-go zone. Otherwise, very impressive and I can, and have sent it on random zone jobs since to test and clean up after grazing children.
DeadSkin wrote: » Thanks guys - taken a mental note about maps not being enabled by default :pac: Will be looking to set it up for two floors also.
druss wrote: » I can see that multifloor is an option, but I thought that meant you couldn't run schedules? I may have picked that up wrong. If I can do both, I obviously want both, but otherwise maybe I should prioritise downstairs and scheduling. Edit: I'll give it a blast. Sure it's lunch time in the home office now.

Under one of the beds it found a thread from a mattress protector and proceeded to pull it out further and further, wrapping it completely round one of the wheels. My son watched this happen and enjoyed it so much that he didn't bother to tell me. I noticed it was behaving weirdly on the phone and went up to inspect. Had to take the scissors to cut it loose again. But a good job overall and it didn't jump down the stairs. Both maps stored. Thanks to all above for the product recommendation and advice.
