Awesome video congratulations for the new website and videos
Thank you 👍🏻
♾
I understand nothing, but very interesting!
This is hands down the best robotic vacuum I have owned🌼 I love the app with virtual barriers, scheduling and location features. It is very powerful and goes a fantastic job on both low pile carpet and hardwood floors- zips right over rugs also!
got the s4 max today - awesome robot - easy to set up - mapping is great and app is very intuitive to name rooms and set schedule - the video really helped a lot - thanks
Glad you like the S4 Max!!!
My friend hates to admit this to her friends, but this was her favorite Christmas present. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g While I used to do the floors, since she hated doing them, this has changed things in our house. In one easy to use motion it sucks, dampens, cleans and dries the floor with a super clean and walk on a minute later surface. Load up the tank with solution and water to make it ready is about all you have to do. The big tank setting will do our kitchen, dinning room, hallway and entry with no problems.We do a light vacuum or sweep first to get rid of the big stuff, but if you floor isn't that bad, you wouldn't have too. We have kids, dog, neighbor kids, and winter crud, so our floors are usually that bad. It will handle anything, but just gets dirty faster and more hair is why we might get the big stuff. We can do everything from pulling it out to sucking to cleaned up in about 30 minutes, so it makes it quick and easy. Biggest thing is the floors are pretty much dry after you move the vacuum over them. No tracking, waiting, or foot prints everywhere. Cleaning is easy with sink rinse and let it air out a bit to dry. 5 minutes to cleanup and set to dry.I give credit to my sister, as she is a professional clean freak and this is her baby with about 1,000 sft of floor that has to be cleaned. She LOVES this and that is why we now have one. Great buy!
Any suggestions on how to best use it for 2 floors?
Excellent description of how to save two separate floors with the current firmware. Great that Roborock S50 also has these updated map features now. So current map is the one to delete, thanks for the clarification.
Yes I think that the main issue most people have, they don’t clear the map which causes the map to become corrupted. Thanks for watching!!!
Thank you for the wonderful article and video. I read the article, watched a video, and read all the comments. Couple of questions and comments - still appears that some people may be having trouble saving more than one map, in other words one seems to override another one persistently. And the second question does this feature work for the S4 back to you as well?
Thanks for going over the app. I was having issues with my S5 mapping. I have a S7 MaxV on its way and I hope they resolved some of the issues with the S5 mapping.
Thanks for posting this - most helpful - keep up the good work !! :)
Thanks you, glad it helped 😆
This video was really helpful. Thanks so much!
Sure no problem 😂
Great job on the multi-room tutorial just got my S5 Max and love it
Glad it working out for you 😂
My s5 max is always staying stuck, and i don't know how to create a new map without delete the current one, can you help me?
gui 10 You have to delete the current map before creating the new one. There should be 2 more slots to save maps, once you complete the map you should have the map you replaced with the new one.
@@RobotMasters can you please help me? I just got my S5 Max but unable to map the whole house (large 1 single level) as the battery dies before I can complete the mapping for the whole house. What can I do as the robot only clean the same area once recharged instead continue to creating the map
@@desireofmakeup There a few things you can do. Try putting the robot vacuum on it lowest power level to achieve maximum battery life and coverage. The robot should be able to go back to the docking station and resume it cleaning after the battery fully charge to complete the map. The quicker option is to Clear the map, so no map is showing on the main screen. Than go into vacuum setting and use the remote control feature. Manually steer the robot to all the areas, the Laser system will scan the area in a 360 degree fashion up to 15ft away. Remember to start the robot from the docking station and once you have manually steered the robot to all the areas drive the robot close to the docking station. Than use the return to home feature to have the robot automatically go to it charger. The map will save. This process is quicker and takes me 10 minutes to map out a 2600 sqft home.
Hi just bought the s5 max, and i love it. I like your video :) Please make a new video on this topic after the new software and app update. Cant save mutible maps?
Great vid, thanks for the help
Thanks this was very helpful!
Just decided to buy this. So excited to get it. This will be my first robotic vacuum ever 😄 What if I have a 2nd floor, can I save that seperately or can I save only one floor in the app?
Well you picked a good choice 👍. Yes you can save up to 3 floor plans. Roborock is working on a software update to allow up to 4 saved levels and easier mapping capabilities. If you have any questions feel free to ask 😄
Thank you! Great video
Just a heads up, according to Roborock's facebook page they are adding official Multi floor support for most of the S series vacuums.
the s5 as well?
@@scotthickman1227 I believe so.
nice... I am using the manual and automatic backups to switch 2 floors now.. Bit of a hack :P
The S5 Max now has it... Now I'm waiting for them to add it to the S50...
Will it include the S4?
Great Video, Nathan.. I just got my S7 and love it.. 😊 By the way, where do you get that docking station floor clear cover ?
Thanks, the clear cover came with the robot.
Great product ,I like it
Great video 👍🏼 just what I was looking for. I have the older S5 model so it’s pleasing to hear they have updated the software to save more than one map. Just to clarify... When you delete the current map does it actually move it to the backup slot, which then allows you to create a map on a different floor? Thanks
Yes that correct. The reason why you delete the current map is to prevent the robot from becoming confused if you move to a nee floor plan and the robot think it on a different floor plan.
Robot Masters Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question. I appreciate that. Your guidance was very useful 😃👌🏼
Thank you for this tutorial. I have two S5 Max vacuums. One for upstair and another for downstairs. How do you recommend I best set this up on the Mi Home App? Each floor has different rooms. Thank you.
Start with the first floor, have all the doors open and area cleared of clutter. Make sure the map saving is enabled in the vacuum settings. Also if you already have a map showing clear that map aka delete it prior to starting the cleaning run. The robot will need to start and end from the dock. Once it done there should be a completed mad. Go ahead add labels, keepout zones and name the rooms. Repeat the process for the 2nd level.
@@RobotMasters if the map has been created, do you need to disable "map saving" in the vacuum settings? Also which app is better? Mi Home or Roborock own app? Thank You.
@@ClawHammer00 No all you have to do is clear the current map aka top map. When you are on your home screen you should see a blank screen no map showing. Than you are ready to map the 2nd floor. Make sure the map saving still enabled. Both Apps are good, and offer very similar features and layout. The Roborock App seems to get software updates quicker. For example right now the S6 MaxV latest update is only for the Roborock App.
Thank you very much for your video.
You are welcome 😇
Love the new website. I also got a question I recently got the roomba i7 plus. How often does it get an software update
Thanks, will be adding new content and technology news weekly 👍🏻
From my experience one update per month, most are minor tweaks to App stability, navigation and menu UI. The Major updates were the Keep Out Zones, Smart Auto Recharge and Resume, Improved low light performance.
I have s5 max, latest Mi home app, but I only have devide and merge buttons. How to get the rename room button? Do I need to create a room first somehow?
Can you schedule different rooms at different times of the day. I didn’t see that option in the roborock app.Thanks.
It only on the Mi Home App
Finally I managed to add a map, so Thank you for your help! I try adding the zones Where I don’t want to wash the floor (like Where I have carpets), But when I leave that mode «zone». They just dissapear from the map. There should be like a save button on the map, so that you save What you edit.
Yeah I agree, a dedicated save button would be nice. Make sure the map saving tab is enabled. It either located in vacuum settings or in the Map area. Than the robot will automatically update and changes you have.
@@RobotMasters I think I managed to figure it out eventually. I managed to make some boxes elsewhere (Where you can split and unify boxes), and I think it worked out.
@@MyOm100 Glad you were able to figure it out. Not the easiest to figure out.
thanks this helped me with my s5 max
Sure No Problem 😇
So after the app update I am unable to do multi map stuff. How did you get around it?
@@xp3085 Hmmm, are you using the Roborock App? Also you can try turning the robot on and off, and reinstalling the app. If the map still doesn’t show, ensure map saving wasn’t disabled. Try remapping
Hi, great video. But, one question I am not clear on. Do I need to do a full mapping of my entire house initially in order to create zones later? Or can I do it room by room initially?
Fully map out first, allow the robot to start the cleaning job from the base and end at the base uninterrupted.
@@RobotMasters thanks very much. Keep up the good work!!! :-)
Very nice thanks. It the a way to reset just one room so so it can be re-mapped. TIA
I don't think so
How to do you create maps for multiple levels of your home? Like one for main floor and one for upstairs?
Nice video, could you maby explain to me why my Roborock is acting strange, when I do a room clean now it can’t figure out which way to go it’s just going all over the house and not cleaning the rooms I have selected
Hum, maybe try remapping your house. Sounds like the map might of gotten corrupted.
Very helpful. How can I map my 2nd floor if the dock is on the 1st floor and when it needs to recharge halfway during mapping (setting on lowest but house is big)? Do I need to get a second robot?
Well there a few options, you can either buy a 2nd docking station for the downstairs. Or you can do what you said, set on the lowest power level. Lastly you can create two maps, and divide the area into two.
Could I tell it where to go when it finishes the second smaller floor. So it sits at the stair when it’s done? I’d then carry it down to charge
Hi,just out of the box do I just leave S6 pure to run by itself to explore? Will it save my apartment floor layout automatically to memory? Its like taking ages! Not busted is it? Thanks
On the Mi Home main screen there are two tabs - Devices and Rooms. What's the Rooms tab for?
You can have all you devices divided in certain rooms, used for organization.
This robot seems great! where can I purchase this unit in Canada?
thank-you .John
I think Amazon Or GearBest
great vid. the mapping part has some limitations, I hope they make it better. But your video clearly explains what to do. The problem I have is that I have a tall step dividing my house in two. So the roborock cannot map in one take all the house. I have to take it myself to the other side. in this case, mapping is a bit complicated.
I went to the website and actually there is a bit more detail on how to setup the multi-room stuff, so thanks!
Hi Thanks for your video. I have a question. I have a large house about 500 m2. Last night I put the robot to clean and map the house. It did OK but I left 2 rooms with the door closed so it did not map those 2 rooms. Is there any way to add those rooms? Or is it necessary to do the complete cleanup of the whole house again so it will map the rooms the robot was not allowed to enter?
If you use the pin and go feature in the app you can have the robot go into those in closed areas. You can also do a area clean so the robot can update its map. It best to let the robot do a complete map with all the doors open, but that just a few work arounds
Hi ! Thanks for the video. I have S5 max. After few weeks of using , now robo is not following straight path for cleaning and moving zig zag. Any solution for this ??
Hmm you can check to make sure all the sensors are clean on the robot. Also how does the map look? Try remapping if it become distorted.
How can we add an additional floor? We have a house wit 2 floors. Also if the charger is downstairs and he wants to charge will notify you?
Also does he knows not to jump of the stairs from upstairs? Thank uou
Make sure the map saving is enabled in map settings. Create your first map by allowing the robot to start and end from the docking station uninterrupted. Next clear the current map and move both the robot and docking station to the next level. Repeat the process. Once you have both maps just switch the map you want to clean on prior to running the robot. You don’t necessarily need to bring the dock.
Do I need to move the charge station to the floor need to be cleaned every time and if not how could the vacuum return to the charge station or know when to stop working?
I wonder the same. Do I need to move the dock every time I want to vacuum the other floor?
hii ...do we have to move the dock for different floors ??
No once the robot map your space, you just move the robot. Make sure to have the correct map loaded on to the robot using the App prior to starting. On the S5 Max a recent update allows the robot Memorize 4 maps and automatically load the correct map.
Hey mate, I do not have this options on my app. Shall I set some specific country?
Try the Mi Home App?
Thank you for this video! It’s really helpful, but my vacuum ran out of battery while mapping the whole area, and after I charged it , it wouldn’t continue with the unfinished area 😔 is that expected?
Yes if the robot stops mid way it could possibly not map, I would recommend recharging the robot fully, start the robot from the charging base, turn the vacuum power level to the lowest setting and lastly clear as much Obstacles from the floor as possible. This will give the best chance for the robot to make the map without interruption.
@@RobotMasters thank you for the reply!! I tried doing that but I couldn't find the option in the app >< maybe it's because I'm using a different model..
@@435362helena Yeah different roborock models may have slightly different features.
Does the S5 Max support multiple floor plans? Meaning that it can store a different map for each floor and does not override a previous map when mopping a different floor?
Yes it supports two saved floor plans and the current one. Just make sure map save mode enabled and have the correct map loaded onto the robot when moving from different levels
@@RobotMasters Great! Thanks for your swift reply.
Thanks for the video. It’s a bit confusing though for the steps used for second floor/ second map. But when I visit your website, it gives me a much clearer steps by steps guide and it answered a lot of my questions after viewing this video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have another question. To enable me to have multiple maps, I need to keep deleting the current map. This will leave me with 2 saved maps in Xiaomi app. The problem is, my house consists of 3 floors. The reason I bought S6 Pure as it was mentioned by the official seller that I could save 3 maps. Seems like this is not true. Now I have trouble to create the third map. Any idea how I could solve this third map issue? Thanks
Yeah unfortunately it only two saved map, plus the current map. Can’t permanently save 3 maps and the map saving done automatically so if there a significant change in the floor plan the robot will overwrite the map
Hello Nathan, I just odered my Roborock s5 max and was wondering which of the 2 apps you recommend to download? Thank-you and vae a great day! John
The Mi Home App the one I been using.
@@RobotMasters Thank very much ! Jean
Hi. I have some questions.
1. Is it possible to change the location of the recharging station ?
2. is it possible to add new rooms to one map ?
thanks.
Yes you can physically move the charging location once the map complete and the robot will update it charging location automatically. Unfortunately once the map completed you can’t add additional areas or rooms to the map aka expand the map. You will need to remap with all the areas of your floor plan open.
You can add new areas by using pin n go in the app. Just pin the blank area on the map. What it finds will turn grey and then u can section it off and it will update.
Hello. Thanks for the video. Question - while the robot is drawing the map, and it's going in the area that i do not want it to go, can i pause it and draw the "No go zone" line WHILE it's drawing the map? Or must i wait until it's fully completed?
It recommended to let it fully complete the map. You can't stop it and create a no go zone for the initial mapping. You could physically block off that area and the map will treat it as a permanent wall.
@@RobotMasters thanks for your fast response!
Yes, this is what i normally did, but thought there would be a more 'finesse' option. :) It appears that's the only way then.
I have the Mi home app but I don’t have that option under vacum settings
It might be in the map editing section on the main home screen
Thanks for the video! I've recently bought the S6 MaxV and letting it find its way around the apartment wasn't hard, however, it didn't detect the rooms itself. How do I make the rooms available in such fashion that I then would be able to schedule cleaning of only parts of my apartment, is that possible? For instance, the map didn't detect any difference to the bedroom and hallway (both have the same color) and if I select to divide the rooms, a warning shows up that "Scheduled room cleaning will become invalid if room divided". I most likely want to schedule the cleaning, so I don't want to loose this ability, yet I don't want it to clean the entire apartment every time. I am currently using the Roborock app but can as well go over to use the Xiaomi Mi app instead if that would do the magic for me.
So that schedule room becomes invalid statement only applies if you set up a room on a timer, than later on you divide the room that on a schedule later on. Step 1: First divide all the rooms up to your liking in the map editing area first. Step 2: Than create your schedules in the timer area.
@@RobotMasters Aha, I've been scared of continuing with dividing the rooms due to that prompt message. Thanks for clarifying that for me - works like a charm now! :-)
Hey there, I just the Roborock s6 pure and I got it to map the main floor but it was hard to map the two other levels. This vacuum is said to be used in multi-floor housing but I cannot figured out how to tell it to clean an specific map. It creates a new map every time. Do I need multiple docks? (One in every floor?) because it always tried to find the dock and I cannot tell it it not on the floor where the dock is
Hmmmm so the robot supports 2 maps plus the current one. Each time you create a map you must delete the current map or it will create a new map and not save the old map. I assume the map saving is enabled in the vacuum settings. Once you have the maps you don’t necessarily need multiple docks, just take the robot to the correct level and make sure in the App the correct map is loaded prior to starting. Roborock is planning on releasing a software update to improve the mapping process to make it easier.
I have a S5 max and wood floors. When it mapped the room it went with the grain and the first couple of times cleaning it cleaned with the grain. But now it goes against the grain and it leaves streaks. What happened?
Hmmm not sure if a software pattern changed the cleaning pattern. Anyways you could enable cleaning the area twice to see if it removes the streak. If I recall I think the robot can do a Crisscross pattern. Or you can relocate the dock so it goes with the grain. The robot should be able to update the Dock Position if placed in the same mapped area.
Thx for great video. I have a question. I can not connect my s5 max to xiaomj home app, and can not find it in 'add device'.
Roborock app works fine
Are you on the same 2.4 GHz WiFi network, also is the S5 Max in pairing mode, Hold down the Home and spot button simultaneously until it says reset WiFi. You can try the mi home app
@@RobotMasters i got it. I set mainland china, and there is no s5 max, but when i change this to my country i can set it... tnx anyway
@@marioostojic245 Glad it works, I used Mainland China for several years. But recently switched over to USA.
@@RobotMasters I would too, but in my country da fang camera is not supported, so i must set it to mainland china
Hi,, i just get my s5max. i got confused about the map thing. So, from what i get is we need this s5max to map the whole house first? I already map my house without the bedroom and kitchen because they behind closed door. Can i make another map only for my kitchen and my bedroom? Or i need to redo the current map? Thanks
I would recommend redoing the entire map. Clear the map, so the App shows a blank homepage without a map showing. Than open all the doors and remap. Make sure map saving mode enabled.
I need more detail on how to start mapping second floor.
Hi what app are you using? I have the roborock s5 max and using the roborock app and I cannot edit my map
MI Home App
I just bought my second Roborock so now have s5max and s7 together. How do I let the new s7 use the old maps from s5max? I don’t want to have to map out everything again for the s7. I keep one robot on each floor in two storey house.
Hello, unfortunately each robot is required to create it own map. There no way to use the map from the S5 Max and carry it over to the S7. You can use the remote control function in the App and drive around manually to each room. Make sure the robot ends at the docking station. Should be able to create and save the map quickly.
@@RobotMasters thank you so much!
Thank you for this! I tried to follow the instructions on your blog: Used the vacuum in the first floor, which made a backup map. I then deleted the "current map", moved to the 2nd floor, then had it do its thing. I thought I'd have two maps per floor after then, but ended up with two maps of the 2nd floor. It had overwritten the backup map as well :( anything im missing?
Did you enable the map saving setting, in the vacuum setting area?, Also make sure the robot starts and ends the mapping job from the charging base.
@@RobotMasters Hi! thanks for your reply! Yes i had it enabled and started/ended at the charging dock. However the software update solved it for me, as it now has an actual multiple maps feature. Thank you for your help!
@@pepperoniseas Glad the software update helped, I believe you can save upto 4 maps and you can physically carry the robot to different floorplans and the robot will automatically select the correct saved map. Take Care!!!
@@RobotMasters hi! really? so if the current map is deleted, but i have 2 maps backup for different floors, will it be able to select the correct map for the floor it is on once you start it with no current map selected? or will it try to re-learn the current map. i think it will re-learn
@@user-qz6ix7od3b You only delete the current map to create a new level, or it will corrupt the current map if you place the robot in a new area. To switch maps all you have to do is load the correct map that corresponds to the saved level. Not sure what model Roborock you have but, Roborock is pushing a new software update that allows the robot to automatically update it saved maps. This applies to the S4, and Max series roborock. If you have the new update you should be able to save 4 maps and choose which ones are saved.
Hi I am using roborock app with s5 max and I don't know for some reason it's not dividing my rooms it's scan and clean as 1 room ... do you know what to do with that ? Thank you
Hmmm maybe double check to see if the map saving mode enabled. It located in the Vacuum settings menu. Next go to the map edit tab and divide the rooms up manually. Once the map is dividered to your liking, select Room cleaning to select individual rooms to clean.
Hello!
I'm having a problem with the application for the Roborock S7. I've already mapped my house as well as a schedule.
My question for you, is it possible that my schedule as well as my map will be saved somehow if I log out and uninstall the application and then reinstall it?
Or Is there any way that I can save these settings before I uninstall the application so I don't have to redo all of them?
So the mapping will be saved and I believe all the settings shouldn’t get changed either if you uninstall the app or delete the app. All the data is stored on the cloud so as long as you are using the same login and password from your Roborock Account you should be fine.
I have a Roborock S6 with latest firmware. i want to be able to save two maps. One for upstairs, one for downstairs. Can i do that? If so, how?
Make sure map mode saving enabled. Than create the first map, clear the map and create the 2nd map. Should have two maps
Its a nice guide however with my S6 I have the following problem. I can move the dock to another floor and create a new map no problem. BUT! after 3 runs on the new map it will have overwritten the original floorplan with the new one in all 3 slots so the old plan is gone. Is this issue fixed? It was a couple of months ago I did my test.
Yeah as long as the robot is on the same level for those 3 runs shouldn’t overwrite the Saved Maps. If there a significant change to the floor plan, than the robot might think it a new map and overwrite the old ones. Unfortunately there no way to prevent this.
Thanks for the reply below. What happened the dust cover from the mattress dropped down after a few runs and hung robo up and the next time I vacuumed the robo thought the obstruction was still there and doesn't go there. It left the black dots or lines on the map. Is there a way to delete the lines so it will vacuum there again or would I have to reset and start over?
TIA for your help.
Yes just clear the dust cover have the robot do a room cleaning or area cleaning and the robot should clear those lines within the room
Thanks for the reply, but it still thinks something is there. I tried zone and spot cleaning and it just went around the black. Not a biggie. It is under the bed :)
Just found out today that I am a dumb ass(not the first time really) I tried everything and finally watched and the dust cover did fall again, Duh ?????? Geeze. Anyway I did a go-there and spot clean and all is well and lines are gone. Just learned that when you fix something make sure it stays that way :)
@@CC-wc1gf LOL we all made dumb mistakes, I have these sticky Spider traps laying around on the floor. If I don't remember to pick them up while running the robot vacuum the side brishes get caught in the sticky glue traps.
I have the S5 and the most recent version of the Mi Home app. For whatever reason, I can’t name rooms. I’m going to the same place you show in the video, but I only have the option to merge and divide rooms. How do I fix this?
Hello, if you have the original S5 unfortunately it doesn’t support map editing if I recall
Hi. Love the videos thanks. Question for you .. I may of messed up but curious if I just need to further learn how it works instead. Got a s6 max. Charged it. Then hit full clean. Didn’t know if there was something I should of done first for Mapping. It only got to about 40 percent of my house and got stuck on Christmas tree! Said positioning error and lost progress of mapping. So It restarted from new and it got about 40 percent done again before ran out of battery. So I manually saved map and told it to go back to dock to charge. Question I have is how do I get it to continue mapping and not redo everything it’s done already. OR. Do I delete everything and follow a different set of steps to have it map entire house first??
Thanks hope to hear soon
Hmmmm I would try to delete everything, make sure the robot is fully charged, check to see if map saving is enabled in the settings. Also pickup and obstacles the robot may encounter. I also would put the robot on the lowest vacuum level so it has enough battery power to clean the entire floor plan without pausing. This will ensure the most accurate map.
Still not able to name rooms.. there isn’t that option on my app and it is up to date. Any advice?
Use the Mi Home App, the room naming not available on the Roborock App
If you move from one house to a new house, can you just delete the map from your old home, and start mapping the new one?
Yes you can.
Hi, which one do you recommend for house with 2 levels? I would like to save maps for both. I have a Xiaomi Vacuum Mop Pro and saves just one map and when I moove to other floor starts to make the new map and I loose virtual walls.
Any of the Roborock models have the ability to save 2 maps. I also recommend the 360 models, they can save up to 10.
@@RobotMasters S60 or 360 model? I didn't find 360 models
Can you post a link please?
Alexandru Pricope Here the 360 Model, amzn.to/2Z9ePGV
@@RobotMasters thanks
I have an S5, so I can't actually label/name my rooms on the map. Out of curiosity, does naming/labeling the rooms allow you to use voice commands via Google/Alexa to send the newer models to certain rooms? I've already got this set up with my S5 via HomeAssistant and whatnot, but I was just wondering if it's easier with the S5 Max/S6.
There an update that Roborock was going to push to allow map saving and original Roborock S5. Not sure when Roborock going to push the update. There also an unofficial FloleVac App that I heard from the Roborock community that allows this. m.facebook.com/groups/1963580733664463/
Unfortunately the Newer and Older Roborock to my knowledge doesn’t allow the robot to go to certain rooms via voice, even if you name your rooms. Just basic start and stop commands.
@@RobotMasters Yeah, I updated to the latest firmware via Flolevac a while back. It allows for rooms, but you can only divide/merge the map with no labels on the S5.
I managed to get voice commands by connecting to my HomeAssistant server and setting up custom scripting. It's a far from ideal setup since you have to pay a subscription to use the build in webhooks. I'm currently looking for a free workaround. I can post some links if you want more info on how I did it.
@@WhyteDem0n Good evening, I'm in the same as you with the S5. It also won't let me tag the rooms. What is the last version that you installed?
PS: Will you have extra information? I am using google assistance voice routines.
Greetings from Buenos Aires
Anyone know anothers vacuum cleaner robots with this same rooms feature in app?
I believe the Viomi V3, Xiaomi Mi New Version, 360 S9 have very similar room features.
How did you get to add S5 Max to Mi Home app? I do not have this model in the list
It depends on what region you are on. Try United States or China server, it under the region tab in the App settings.
@@RobotMasters Im under China. Doesnt show it in the list
My S5 max does not avoid obstacles like the one in the video. Bumps into everything. Gets stuck frequently under the couch or coffee table. What’s up with that?
Thanks for sharing your feedback and experience with the S5 Max. Some objects like darker objects the robot may not be able to pickup with it laser system. You can use the keep out zones in the App to block off the area under your couch or coffee table, or you can raise the furniture up to having the robot avoid getting trapped.
hi
@Robot Masters! thanks for the video! i'm still struggling to get it to work on 2 floors. after saving the 1'st floor, when i move it to the 2'nd floor it always says "invalid map starting a new clean" and re-maps the 2'nd floor and merges the new map to the 1'st floor map and looks awful and some times the virtual barriers from the 1'st floor block areas on the 2'nd floor because of the merged maps. Any idea how i can overcome this? Appreciate it, thanks !
Hello, so first make sure the map saving mode is enabled in the vacuum settings. Next got and clear the map I believe it in the map tab. Now you should see a blank screen on your home screen with no map. Create your first map having the robot start and end from the charger without interruption. Next make sure you add all your keep out and area select for that map. Clear the current map, under the map tab. Should see a blank home screen again. Repeat for the 2nd map. I think you don’t have map saving mode enabled or you are trying to create a new map, and didn’t clear out the old one first.
@@RobotMasters thank you! i will try again and come back with the results
@@user-qz6ix7od3b Sounds Good!!!
@@RobotMasters so the result is that i really hate how this robot or mi home app handles multiple maps and backups. it's stupid: i had 1 good map, i made a lot of edits to it for my needs. then i set the robot to vacuum the 2'nd floor, i added 1 no-go zone to it and it was saved to backup. so now, in backup i had the 1'st floor and the 2'nd floor maps. in the "current" map, the 2'nd floor was used. because the 2'nd floor was already backed-up, i deleted the "current" map. the other 2 maps that were backed-up were still there. then i selected the 2'nd floor to be the "current" map, and this idiot over-wrote the 1'st floor backup i had (without even starting the robot or doing anything with it) with the 2'nd floor one !!! f*** ! now i have 2 backups of the same floor 🤬🖕🤬🖕🤬🖕🤬 and the one i worked on so hard, is just gone f***
Sounds like you know this thing! My S4 app no longer shows the map as full screen. It’s about 60%, happened after an update last year? Any ideas? Thx.
Hmmm try deleting the App and reinstalling the App. Also turn the robot off and on. See if it corrects the map sizing issue.
How did you name the rooms? I couldn't find option in the app
The Mi Home App has that feature.
I don’t have the label room option on my app. How do I get that? I have the mi home app. Maybe I need the latest update? What is that?
Hmmm what app are you using, also what model robot vacuum do you have? Some models may not have the room naming feature.
@@RobotMasters I’m using the mi home app and I have a roborock s5. I only have the “Merge” and “Divide” options in the Edit Room function.
@@stacykay14 If you have the original S5 than room naming not supported. The map saving, sequence and room labeling are for the later models like the S5 Max, S4 and etc
Thank you. I prefer the S5 Max. Can I give the 5max voice command via Google home e.g. clean the kitchen like the i7+?
No only the Shark IQ and Roomba allow room select using Alexa, google voice only start and stop commands
@@RobotMasters Can I ask S5 max to vacuum / mop only certain rooms like kitchen / hallway via app?
ThunderSprint Yes through the App you can preset the power levels and if the robot should map for each room on the S5 Max
@@RobotMasters and in S5 can you also indicate which room to clean? or just does the S5max? Thank you!
There an update coming, that will allow room select on the original S5.
I have a S5 Max with the Roborock app and the name options is missing. I see divide, merge and customize but no Name option in there.
Yes the Roborock App has the customize feature where as the Mi Home App has the naming feature and no customize icon. It either or depending on what app you are using.
I still can't decide which one is best can you help me decide please. After trying them all, in your opinion which one is more effective please in Vacuuming and mopping, thanks

I live in an apartment, one floor, with a bathroom that has a treshold to high for the Roborock S5Max to climb. I have mapped the room as part of the whole floor (after some problems), by moving it there by hand. Sometimes it gets confused though, and think that it is in another room. Furthermorem after cleaning that room it alway loses the map, so I have to restore it. I have been adviced to use the multifloor option, not to confuse it. But how does this work? I have mapped the apartment, and now I have change the building layout in the settings, from single-story to multi-story. As I mentioned, there is no actual second floor, but only one room that I want to put on this "second floor". There is no power outlet in this (bath)room, so I cannot move the dock/charger to the bathroom.. Can I then even map the bathroom as being part of the second floor, if I cannot move the dock there? If I understand it correctly, the mapping of the pretended "second floor" needs to start from the dock, am I right? Furthermore, I do not have a backup map in my app (I use to Roborock app), there is only 1 map.. Isn´t that strange... ? Thanks for your advice!
Hmmnm I would select multi story and you would need to get a long extension cord to temporary plug in the charging base to create your 2nd map. Unfortunately the robot won't create a map without automatically returning to the docking station.
@@RobotMasters Ah okay, I see. Well, that is an option then.
Hey man... Thanks for the video... I need your help for something... I can't name the rooms as you did on your map... I have the Roborock S50, latest firmware... How do I do that?
The S50 can’t name rooms yet. There was a rumor that Roborock may push an update to allow this on the s50
@@RobotMasters thanks for the info... There was an update recently that added the hability to divide and merge rooms and to save two backup maps in the server... The map now has different colors for every room... But no option to name them...
@@RobotMasters there is also a rumor i read online that the S5 supports / will support multimapping?
Alex 1407 Yes I have heard an update that the original S5 will support map saving and room select:
S50 already supports map saving (1 inside robot's memory and 2 on servers) and Room selecting. It just doesn't support room naming...
Hello Nathan, can you tell me if the roborock app is as good as the mi home app for the roborock s5 max? I want to hook my robot to google home and only roborock app works for this apparently. I am using my home app at the moment and it is great! Is roborock app as detailed as mi home app? What do you think, roborock told me that I cannot use the 2 apps at the same time . THANK-YOU, and have a great day! Jean
Hello The Roborock and Mi App are almost identical apart from some minor UI design changes. Roborock is actively working on bringing new features to the Roborock App via software updates. The reason I use MI Home is I can pair other Xiaomi devices like Viomi robots and appliances.
Thank-you Nathan for such a quick answer! Roborock s5 max rocks! Great machine! Jean
Robot Master, You didn't put the water tank back into your ozmo 950? Where is it?
I lost it 😞
@@RobotMasters Aw man.....I hope you can find it or buy a new water tank
Yeah it fell off somewhere under the bed
Hello, I have S5 and I'm in Italy, so I suppose is an European version. But I don't see the option to rename the rooms and others, more over if the robot doesn't reach a room for 2/3 time because the door is closed, it updates the map as that room is always closed...even if the door will be opened... Why?
Tnx @robot master
So I assume this is the original S5? If so some features may not be available. You can try the Mi Home App to see if that feature available. Now if your map is representing a closed door, used an area select and have the robot vacuum clean near the open door for a minute or so and you will see the map update. Or you can use the manual remote control method. The reason behind this is the map is constantly updating in real time the status of it environment which includes moving furniture, and opening/closing of doors.
Another question: is there limit for size of surface of flor? My s5 max cleaned and made map of 67 m squared, and returned at dock aldo it was still 60% of battery. There was another 20 m2 that did not include in map... is it possible that 67m2 is its limit?
There shouldn’t be, it was able to map my small bathroom which is smaller than 20 m^s Asl long as the robot able to fit in the space it will map.
@@RobotMasters i mean maximum limit
Mario Ostojić The maximum limit not sure, the robot can cover over3,000 sq-ft.
Can I add a room to my map?
No you can’t officially add a room to an existing map. You will need ti remap the space, so it recommended to open all the areas up prior to mapping.
Hi there! The only option I have in vacuum settings on the Mi Home app is DND times. What am I doing wrong that I can’t see the beta map option?
Go to your map edit menu, located on the main home page where you can see the map of your floor plan.. Should be a map save option.
Robot Masters thanks so much for replying! My problem is I don’t think I have a map option - it only shows me what it last cleaned, and there doesn’t appear to be any option to save the map of the last clean..?
@@nicolagentle3049 hmmmm can you email nate2003@comcast.net the screen capture of your map. Do you have a map edit tap, or any type of options in the map. It is hidden in there

Road block app?
my S5 max good but i have 1 problem. theres water leaking when the robot way small trap. even the trap only 2mm. and so many water leaks if i pick up the unit and bring to another floor. is your S5 max have same issue like my robot? so confuse with this issue. info,i always use the low setting for the water spray. what should i do?
Hmmm the water flow should stop when the robot stops aka the pump. Try putting a dry mopping pad on, don't turn the robot on and see if water seeping into the pad. If this the case than you may have a defective water tank or mopping plate. Also make sure the water tank is coming loose over the small trap.
@@RobotMasters thanx for the respon. i always use dry mopping mop. and nothing water leaks if the robot off position. only when the robot working mopping. mopping is good enough but many times leave water on the floor. and if i pick up the robot to next floor level,the water leaks again to the floor. if i check after works,much water on the mopping pad. i dont know why? should be the water goes to the 2 holes at the mopping pad. but in my case the water still on the mopping pad. this the problem.
@@deciohasianami3177 Interesting, the water flow should stop once the water pump has stopped on the S6 Max. You could have a defective system, I would try contacting Roborock for any additional suggestions. Maybe they can swap out the mopping system.
Hi I have a s6 maxv. When I try to divide my map it says reset failed. Any advice?
Try restarting the App and robot, and try again. Does take several tries
@@RobotMasters thank you. The restart worked a treat. Hope you have a great Christmas
I've been wanting to divide and name rooms for ages. But where you have "merge, divide, name and customize" i only have "mergen and divide". I have a S50 though, does it not work with that?

@@RobotMasters Have not tried with the Roborock one. Will give that one a go!

My home has 2 floors can I create a room for each?
Yes you can create multiple floor plans. You can technically create a single room and save it, but keep in mind you only can save up to 3 maps. Better to create the room with in the saved map.
This morning I saw that that (on the official app, not Mii) they added multiple floors. Version 01.17.08! That was a nice surprise.
@@allenwhipps1233 Can you please elaborate on how the multiple floor works? can you save maps for multiple levels that include no go zones, no mop zones etc?
@@Swat-ev1fk This is not for the Mi app (we need to specify that or the conversation goes awry.)
OK, your request:
I can't elaborate. It just worked, somehow. There were few instructions and it was a mystery to me but it became clear AFTER I did it.
I chose the multi-floor option.
I took the robot and dock to my lower level.
I saw that the main floor map was shown but not accessible.
I did all-clean and crossed my fingers.
When it finished, I had a map that I could then divide into rooms and all that.
I HOPED things would be OK when I took the Robot and Dock back upstairs and it was! It now had my upstairs map and worked with that.
I was able to name each level although that's not needed. I think it names them floor 1, floor 2. I don't recall for sure.
Again, they give few details but they tell you exactly what to do and you have to trust that it works--and it does.
Does the S5 also have the ability to name rooms? It's like 40% cheaper here and I don't really care much for the mopping feature.
There an update that coming which will allow room select and naming. Not sure when, but Roborock was talking about within a few months. The S4 might be an alternative, but don’t know the cost vs s5 over where you live
I have the S5 and just got an update that enables selecting different rooms, however i can not name them, the interface differ from this video.
Markus Palm Kåberg Maybe the regular S5 doesn’t allow room naming or you are using the Roborock App, which has different features than the Mi Home App. Mi Home App has more App features and mapping editing features.
Roborock app does not support S5.... everything AFTER S5 is supported ie S4, S5Max, S6 etc...
Gregorio Bono I did hear that Roborock was going to Add the multi floor support. From a few sources there a work around using Floevac App here the post

Hello friend, can you help me, I have an s5 and I use the app from my home, and I do not have the option to name the rooms, this is because of the model I have or the server I use? I am on a simgapur server
Well if you have the original S5, I don’t think it has the room renaming feature. You can try switching App to the Mi Home App and see if that feature available.
@@RobotMasters hi thanks for your prompt reply, I now use Mi Home app, but it does not appear as an option, I think it is only possible in the roborock app
@@ostercup You tried the Roborock App? I am not sure the original S5 has the room option
I only have 1 room detected and i can’t create multiple rooms on the app on xiaomi s6 pure
Hmmm, is that how big your floor plan is, you should be able to decide up that room. If you have multiple rooms you want to map, make sure you open all the areas when the robot mapping than you can have multiple rooms. You can’t add onto the map after it been mapped.
In the "Edit room" i only have "Merge" and "divide". Not the "Name" or "Customize". Any idea why? I just downloaded the app, and newly updated firmware.
What App are you using? I think the Mi home app has those features, not the Roborock app. It also depends on what model you have as well.
@@RobotMasters I'm using the Mi Home app. But could be the model. I seem to remember its the 5s
Hi, at the end of the video you say to move the robot to the second floor and delete the ‘current’ map of the first floor. That defeats the whole purpose of multi-floor! I want the app to remember the current map, and also a second floor. So that when I go back to vacuuming the first floor it doesn’t have to start from scratch. Is that not possible?
Hello sorry for the confusion, basically when I said you have to clear the map on the robot to create the second floor map, this resets the robot. If you don’t clear the first map of the robot, the robot will still think it on the first floor. The Original first floor map is there, clearing the map doesn’t actually delete the map from the App. You will still have both map saved from the first and 2nd floor. Just make sure to load the correct map the robot is on. Hope this helps clarify what I meant. Take Care!!!
Robot Masters ok will try that. Should I leave the map saving (beta) switched on when I take it to the second floor? Also, is it necessary to take the dock every time between floors?
numb15 Yes that setting always have to be enabled. Also make sure the map is cleared, than start and end the cleaning job from the docking station. The dock only has to be used for the initial map creating. After that you only have to bring the robot to the different floor plan. Remember to have the correct map loaded onto the robot prior to starting the robot.
@@RobotMasters thank you for your video. There are a lot of people concern about how to save multi floor, if you can make a video more clearly about that, i think that would be great!
Dung Hoang I also have a detailed article on my website www.robottechreviews.com. Hopefully this helps understand the mapping and saving process. Maybe in the future Roborock can make the process easier.
So do I need to take the charging station to do each floor?
No once the maps are created, just move the robot to each level.
Robot Masters thank you for getting back to me. It’s worked!
@@RobotMasters For the first map of the 2nd floor, do you have to move the charging station or can I just move the Vac to the 2nd floor and hit new map and leave the dock on the 1st floor? Thanks!
@@chrismcreynolds9215 Hello, once you have the 2nd Map created all you do is, physically move the robot to that area and make sure you load the correct map through the App. If you have the S5 Max or S6 Max these models can automatically recognize what map they are in, so you don't need to load the map before hand.
@@RobotMasters I have the S6. Will it auto recognize? Do I have to move the dock to the 2nd floor for the first run?
