It would be nice to see the performance metrics per release but oh well....

This version removes the possibility to enable/disable WiFi by pressing the "physical" buttons on the i9.
1. Longpress Home (the house symbol), then longpress ECO. The display shows "LAN".
2. Press Play. The display shows "on".
3. Press ECO to toggle between "on" and "off", then press Play to select.

The only way with 40.17 is to put files in the flash-drive through the USB Service port which is more tricky.
1. Connect the robot to a computer via USB, as described above.
2. Copy an empty file named “Enable_WiFi” or “Disable_WiFi” to the robot.
3. Disconnect the USB cable and the robot will enable or disable WiFi, as ordered.

This information can be found in the Open-Source Software Information from Electrolux.

Why is the first, more easy method, removed and can it be added again?

Hi,

The new Pure i9.2 robot doesn't have any numerical display, so the old procedure with an onboard menu doesn't work. We therefore decided to use the method with files on all robots (i.e. also Pure i9) from now on, to avoid having multiple methods in use at the same time.

We also got some feedback that users sometime activate the hidden menus by mistake, which makes for a very confusing user experience. So we think that the new method takes a little longer, but allows for fewer mistakes.

40.17 is a great update. Congratulations and thank you.
It has a bunch of great new features including "AvoidZones" which now work, clean a specific zone, and generally less loitering and more cleaning.
This is great.

Will the web service IFTTT implement zones in th future? It would be great to ask the robot to start cleaning a named zone via Google home.

It's very slow, but I use it, to see which part of the house it has cleaned/are cleaning. I wish there would be {faster and] a web interface to see it rather than through the app though.

I have the same problem - my floor planner map has not been updated for about a week, even though I deleted the zones out of it. It would be nice if this issue was fixed. I still haven't managed to successfully create a map that represents the whole house, in the whole time since the last software update.

I had a similar problem after deleting one of the maps (I have two, one for each floor). It created a normal map but not one to be used in Floor Planner. Suddenly it started to work. I think it would be nice to either fix the bug or tell in the app that further cleaning is needed to create a map in Floor Planner.
