The same GooglePlay has a lot of applications for controlling the robot-poll from third-party developers. Many manufacturers of such equipment upload the source code of the firmware used. And on its basis, each user can create his own program.

Is it worth using them? As a rule, they do not carry any additional functionality. Just differ in the drawing of the intense.

Why does Wi-Fi see a vacuum cleaner robot

Robots vacuum cleaners even the most advanced and with high.quality assembly can be puzzled by the user at work. One of the most common Wi-Fi mistakes does not see robots. Sometimes a simple reboot of the router, phone, vacuum cleaner helps. But most often it is to no avail. We analyze the most common problems and ways to solve them.

The robot does not connect to Wi-Fi

Check the signal if it is a weak robot of the vacuum cleaner. Perhaps the problem in the device itself. If the module is weak, try to bring closer to the router, restart and connect again.

Also one of the most common causes of this failure is the wrong choice of the region when setting up the application. In Wi-Fi settings, change the DNS address.

In additional network settings manually enter a value of 114.114.114.114. Change the region. It is preferable to choose India, Germany, China. Or those countries for which the assistant is intended.

We emphasize your attention to the fact that robotic assistants are oriented mainly to the cities of China.

Does not connect to an account

Most often problems arise on the server itself. He simply does not accept traffic from the device.

Wait a while and try again.

Install the VPN program. Select the region China or Germany.

Reload the application. Xiaomi works without problems in other countries. Similar problems often arise in Russia.

The application gives an error: bring the phone closer to the router.

One of the solution options is indeed bringing a smartphone and a robot close to the router. But this does not always help.

Check the Wi-Fi network for the presence of numbers and other characters. The name of the network and password should contain only lowercase English letters.

Also check all the permits for the Mi Home application. All flags should be installed in the application of applications resolutions.

The robot lets in dark.colored areas

Technique sensors are very sensitive, and the dark coating is regarded as a change in height, the possibility of falling. Go to the settings and forcibly turn on the cleaning on such areas on the map.

In order not to be disappointed when buying this smart equipment, remember that it is not intended for capital cleaning, but only helps maintain cleanliness. The robot will protect you from the need to constantly vacuum the floor, removing the crumbs, the wool of pets and other insignificant garbage.

Possible connection problems

Sometimes Mi Home is not synchronized and does not see a vacuum cleaner. There are several reasons why this is happening.

Problems with Wi-Fi

If it was not possible to connect the device to Wi-Fi, then synchronization should be done again, after dropping the network settings on the vacuum cleaner. You can do this by holding the buttons “Turning” and “House” at the same time. After that, repeat all actions again.

If this did not help, then you need to change the DNS address Wi-Fi on a smartphone. Perform the following steps:

• Go to the smartphone settings and select “Wi-Fi” item.
• Available networks will open. Among them, choose the right. Click on it, hold your finger until the inscription appears: “Network properties”.
• Go into the “Properties” tab, then slip along “Change the Network”. A list of various settings will open, select “Additionally”, and then “User”. Here you need to enter a new address. 114.114.114.114.

After that, carry out synchronization again.

Features of connection to iOS

Mi Home for iPhone is identical to the Android application. Synchronization also occurs the same. But in the “apple” version there may be a problem when connecting. The application does not identify the device, so the synchronization will not be completed.

This error is corrected by changing the region. To do this, open the “Profile” tab in the Mi Home, select “Settings” in it. Find the line “Region” in the settings that appeared. Select from the list of “India” or “China” countries. Carry out repeated synchronization.

Problems with the entrance to the account

If you fail to enter the account, then you should use VPN. This tool virtually changes the country from which the entry into account occurs. Therefore, if the provider blocks the Xiaomi server or they are inaccessible in a particular country, then the use of VPN allows you to get around the lock.

You can use the VPN Master from Xiaomi or a similar third.party program. It is advisable to connect through Germany or Singapore. After installing the communication through the VPN, re.enter the account.

“Smart” robot vacuum cleaner facilitates dust loss. You can pass the apartment remotely in advance, and go into a clean house. With a careful approach, any owner will be able to connect to the device. Possible problems are also solved without involving a specialist.
