How to set up a Xiaomi vacuum cleaner, connect to Mihome application. Step-by-step instruction

In order to correctly configure the connection of the vacuum cleaner robot from Xiaomi, you must adhere to certain rules. You should study all the requirements of using a vacuum cleaner, as this device has some differences from ordinary household appliances.

First of all, to configure the “smart” vacuum cleaner Xiaomi, it is necessary to create working conditions for him, which is an important part of the installation and will not take much time. One. Before connecting the robot, it is necessary to remove all the things lying on the floor, which will interfere with the cleaning.

The dock station for recharging a “smart” device must be installed on an even surface and make it so that its back is touched to the wall or to the parquet, and at least half a meter of empty space and a meter from the front part remains along the edges from it.

For quick and correct operation of the device, you need to check the network signal, since a bad connection can knock down the direction of the vacuum cleaner and then you will have to independently attribute it to the place. 4. Before cleaning, you need to completely charge the battery. For the first time, a long press of the inclusion key and return the device to the dock station manually will need to be required to launch. A full charge of the battery requires about four hours. The LED battery indicator on the equipment housing displays the condition of the battery. If the indicator is lit up with red light-the charge is less than 20 %, yellow-20 %-50 %and white-more than 50 %.

So that the “smart” device does not violate the boundaries of the desired territory, you can indicate them with a special magnetic tape Xiaomi Virtual Wall. The vacuum cleaner will not travel behind the designated place, as it will perceive it as a wall. The tape can be placed on the edge of the steps in order to avoid the fall of the device. The special “wall” will not take up much space, but, unfortunately, it is not included in the package and it must be bought separately.

After preparing the vacuum cleaner, you can begin to synchronize it with a smartphone and a network. To do this, you need to perform certain actions:

First you need to install the Mi Home program. It is available for any smartphone operating system. If you know the name of the region of the release of your device, choose it in the settings, and if you are not sure of the name click on the option “others”.

After the work is completed, the device returns to its place. You can configure the cleaning frequency through the application. The location of the vacuum cleaner can be observed on the map.

Connection of the Xiaomi robot to the Smart House application

The system of a smart house has a lot of advantages, but for a Russian user a big minus is that it is in Chinese. Connection of gadgets in the system occurs through the apple Homekit gateway.

There is no need to choose applications for Xiaomi robots: a universal Mihome utility is used. Despite this, the user has much more opportunities for managing an electronic assistant than without a considered program.

What to do if you can’t connect the Xiaomi robot vertebrae to the smartphone.

In this case, we try to repeat the connection. Most likely, when connecting the robot permissor, an error occurred to the network, which prevents the connection. In this case, restart the application and re.Connect.
