How to connect a robot vacuum cleaner to your phone?
So, you have acquired a new device for cleaning rooms in the house. Now you need to dock it with the docking station, which acts as a charger. Further installation can only be done after the battery has been filled.
The smartphone performs the task of the main control element - the remote control, if you like.It is important that synchronization occurs correctly.
First of all, regardless of the platform or brand of phone, you need to activate the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS functions. Without them, docking and correct operation of the device will not take place. Then you need to download the application. Look at the manufacturer's instructions: for example, Xiaomi vacuum cleaners work with the Mi Home program.
Let's look at the connectivity options for iPhone smartphones. Download the application, create a profile and add a device to it by selecting a vacuum cleaner from the pop-up list of models. It is very convenient that the interface is pleasing to the eye and is entirely in Russian. Setting up doesn't require much effort.
Then you need to activate the vacuum cleaner by pressing the appropriate button on the device and start searching for free Wi-Fi networks. When everything is detected and the gadgets see each other, click the “Next” button. Finally, you will have to select a network WiFi, which is used to manage devices.
For phones running on the Android platform, download and open the application, activate the robot vacuum cleaner, and start searching for the device. It will synchronize itself and appear on the screen of your smartphone. All that remains is to press “+” and connect it to the router. You can use it.
Without downloading a special application, the robot cannot be synchronized with portable gadgets.
If synchronization of devices occurs with errors or they do not connect at all, you will have to contact a wizard or try changing the location, VPN or Wi-Fi network settings yourself. Sometimes this helps, but you need to do this if you understand the intricacies of the settings.
