Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner install Russian voice package
Technology does not stand still, every year there are new, useful gadgets that make our lives easier. The most interesting and useful this year for me was the first-generation Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner, the price of which dropped slightly towards the end of 2019. I have long been hesitant to buy, but they were decided to buy, I say that the purchase is not sorry, all its basic functions of the robot performs well, of course there are some minor drawbacks, but about this a little later. And today I will share with you a detailed and clear instructions for installing various, Russian voice packages, as using the Android phone and using a computer running Windows operating system. This instruction will work for the first generation and for the second generation. Let’s start with the fact that the first version of the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner out of the box has no Russian official language, but this is not difficult to fix. After you take the vacuum cleaner out of the box, I advise you to put it on the dock to charge, as if the charge is less than 20% language package will not set. Once the vacuum cleaner is charged, then we can start installing the voice package, we have several options for this, we will start with the easiest.
Talking robot vacuum cleaners: funny voice packs
On the Internet there are a lot of videos, in which the authors shoot their robot vacuum cleaners, which speak in Russian. In addition to the fact that the robot vacuum cleaner performs the function of cleaning the room in automatic mode, it is able to notify the Russian voice of the error, to swear when colliding with objects of interior. It’s funny enough when your smart helper drives around the apartment and grunts, and sometimes the robot vacuum cleaner swears in foul language. In this article we will point out for you the best talking robot vacuum cleaners with Russian voiceover and show you a video with their voice.
Firmware Installation
Option for those cases when the robot vacuum cleaner was purchased for the Chinese domestic market.
In this case the support of only English and Chinese languages from the application will be available. It is not possible to translate the commands into other languages. Therefore, you will need to download a special version of the firmware and install it.
Immediately it should be noted that this can be done not on all models. The most “problem-free”, which is easy to flash and teach to speak in Russian. these vacuum cleaners line Roborock and Vacuum Cleaner. And for them, a lot of custom firmware is also available.
This will, for example, allow you to customize the voiceover with “non-standard” voices:
The functionality is not affected by the installation of third-party firmware. The sound files are simply swapped out. So reflashing the device will not damage it in any way. over, Xiaomi assures you that it will not affect the warranty in any way.
Before we proceed
Before proceeding with the firmware procedure, please note the following:
- “You can install only one language pack at a time in the robot vacuum cleaner. They can be switched through the official Mi Home app. That is, voice files are downloaded and installed each time.
- The factory firmware of the robot vacuum cleaner does not check the voice files. The software contains only a link to download the data package, which subsequently will be installed in the internal memory.
- To install the “custom” language pack it is enough to send the device other files via the link it requests. Accordingly, it is not necessary to modify the firmware itself. It is sufficient to use a specialized application that allows you to perform a package swap when the robot vacuum cleaner requests data.
- Previously, to install third-party voice packages, you had to get the serial number of the device, as well as its “identifier” (token). Now it is not necessary to do it. Special programs do it all automatically, the user only has to specify which voice pack he needs to put in the vacuum cleaner.
Process of installation of voice package
There are 2 installation options: using a computer, as well as from a smartphone.
The second option is preferable, as the user needs to perform less actions in order to change the language. The possibility of errors in this case is minimal.
- Download XVacuum Firmware app with the latest version. You can download it directly from GooglePlay or AppStore. Also. on the site of the developer (in terms of functionality they are slightly different).
- Preliminarily in the internal memory of the phone (in the directory /sdcard) should be copied files voice commands. Extension of such file.pkg. You can download them at thematic forums (for instance, 4PDA). Inside this archive there are WAV files that are used by the built-in software of the robot-vacuum cleaner as voice notifications.
- Perform a WI-FI reset on the robot vacuum cleaner. Depending on the model, this is done by simultaneously pressing two buttons: Power and Home or Power and the local cleaning button. Press and hold for at least 3 seconds.
- Use your smartphone to connect to the vacuum’s WI-FI. Executed exactly like connecting to a wireless router. That is, you need to go to the WI-FI section on your smartphone, turn on the search for wireless networks, select Xiaomi Vacuum (or a point with a similar name). You will not need to enter password.
- Open the XVacuum Firmware app on your phone. Select Trying to flashing.
- Use your phone’s regular file manager to select a previously saved file with voice commands.
- Confirm sending firmware, wait till the process is finished.
Then you need to re-bind the device in MiHome. Afterwards all the buttons will be active and you can use the robot vacuum cleaner as you are used to.
Flashing process on PC is performed in the similar way. But it is obligatory to have a WI-FI wireless module. You won’t be able to perform flashing without it.

The step-by-step procedure is as follows:

- Install the software. In its directory, in the folder “Voicepack” must be copied.pkg files of voice commands to be used to download to the robot vacuum cleaner.
- If necessary. open the settings file (win-mirobo.ini) and manually write the IP address of the robot vacuum cleaner and its ID. This is necessary if you install the voice pack without resetting WI-FI. Otherwise, just connect to the access point of the vacuum cleaner.
- Run the program. The command line terminal will be opened and automatic search for the device will start. Once it’s finished, you’ll see a menu with a selection of voice packs. Only need to select the desired option “voice” and press “Enter” on the keyboard. All other work the program will do automatically.
- After completing the firmware process, the robot vacuum cleaner must be re-associated with your MiHome account using your smartphone. That is, turn on the device search, perform pairing. Remove the previous device from the MiHome list.
After you install the voice packs on the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner, daily cleaning will cease to be boring, the vacuum cleaner will have a soul (in some cases the soul of a bully), and your guests will be pleasantly surprised to hear the funny voice of your electronic pet.
The instructions are suitable for the first and second generation Mi Vacuum Robot Cleaner.
For flashing, you will need a PC with Windows operating system.
Next, unzip the downloaded file to the root of drive C and run it as an administrator.
Open with notepad to edit the system utility file, which is called win-mirobo.and enter the ip-address and token of your vacuum cleaner. After that do not forget to save your changes.
You can find out the ip-address and token of your vacuum cleaner in Mi Home app.

How to add Alice voice control to your Xiaomi/Dreame robot vacuum cleaner
In our century, you can not be surprised by voice control of home appliances. Alice has already learned not only to swear and tic-tac-toe, but can also control smart devices in your smart home. After purchasing a robot vacuum cleaner from Xiaomi’s subsidiary Dreame Bot L10Pro, I thought it would be a good idea to train it to clean on command. Turns out Alice has long been friends with most devices that are controlled through the MiHome app.
To configure it you do not need anything complicated and can handle even a schoolboy.
We need two applications on the phone, namely:
First, let’s check if the robot vacuum cleaner has been added to MiHome as a device.
After that, go to the application Yandex and enter your login and password. If you do not have an account Yandex, it is very easy to register it, about 3 minutes.
Then you need to create a smart home template, that is, add the habitat of smart devices. Standard it is called my home
Click on the icon “device”, it is in the application menu of Yandex (circled). Choose from a large list of barrels signed as devices. Press the add new device plus sign, select another device and find Xiaomi at the bottom in the popular manufacturers tab. To continue, you will be asked to enter the password and login to your MiHome account.
After that, go to “My Home” and see that we have the devices that Alice is already familiar with from the MiHome app. The robot requires configuration, click on it. The main condition is to name it with Cyrillic letters, otherwise voice control will not understand it. After that you can see that Alice knows everything about your vacuum cleaner, including the model and firmware.
Actually that’s all. All that’s left to do is hand out voice commands and the robot will do its job. And a list of allowable or acceptable commands Alice will prompt itself.
Tested on my employee, the vacuum cleaner consistently handles all commands like start, pause, go to the charge, no complaints. So our life has become a little more modern. I understand that the information is not new, and many people already knew it without me. But, I am sure, it will be useful for those, who simply did not bother with similar functionality, but seeing how simple it is, will also add a live communication in the protocol of communication with your smart device. Of course, the bonus is the control of many other devices, and with the help of Alice you can easily control air conditioning, humidification, light and much more.
Here is the variant of my communication with the vacuum cleaner through Alice. As it is with mistakes and uncertainties. If you call a vacuum cleaner a vacuum cleaner, then, of course, you can not call it a robot ))))
By the way. The same smart home can also be controlled via Google Aleha. But that is another story.
