Re: Release 41.14 now available!
There is no need to if the map you have looks and works ok. But if you find that the robot cleans better in general with release 41.14 than it did with 40.18 it may also produce a better FloorPlanner map.

Re: New Release 41.10
You can find the setting for each zone when you schedule a zone cleaning (i.e. in the schedule view) and also when you run a zone cleaning on demand.

Re: Why is there no systematic and reproducible cleaning?
@frekan said:
The robot will sometimes prioritize to travel through previously seen territory instead of cleaning the closest available floor patch. In the cases above the robot travels a long distance to revisit a small uncleaned patch which is the worst case, and may seem like a waste.
I should say though, that these are trade-offs that we are actively re-evaluating and may change in the near future.
Thank you for your insights into our robots "psyche". This wanderlust seems to have befallen the robot during the transition from 40.17 to 40.18.
I'm looking forward to the improvements in 41.x

Re: Finally a brand new Robot with the bigger battery
Agreed. The original i9 was not a great bot due to the tiny battery. The i9.2 is superior in so many ways.

I gently lifted the Robot at his back .... what can I do to fix the robot to recognize the loading station better?
Did you place the docking station on a (soft) carpet? If yes, the back of the robot might sink into the carpet just a little too much to make reliable contact every once in a while.
Try if it gets any better when you place the docking station on hard floor. And of course there is the old "wipe-the-contacts-clean-on-both-the-robot-and-docking-station" routine (as if you hadn't already done that)

Re: User Manual on this community site?
If it is any help: When you open the app's hamburger menu you will find download links to the manual (both for Pure i9.1 and 9.2) plus links to videos for the initial setup and maintenance.

Re: Problems for set clean zones
@Liliana said:
Is there a way to rotate the map ?
Hi @Liliana, unfortunately, there is no such thing (yet) and you have to start over.
On the floor plan it looks like you have placed the docking station at 45 degrees relative to the rest of the flat. As the robot starts mapping from "home", the positioning of the docking station affects the outcome of the map.
Please delete the slanted map, move the docking station to a wall that is rectangular to the rest of the walls and start the cleaning from there.
This should lead to better map alignment which makes the creation of zones easier.
As we are told that the creation of zones "freezes" the map, you might be able to move the docking station back to the initial location without losing the rectangular map (no guarantee as I have never tested this scenario!).

AVOID this product at all costs.
I can understand your frustration! (and I think the non-cleaning mapping-mode is a brilliant idea)
However, considering the demanding floor plan of your home your verdict seems a bit harsh to me. I too have my reservations about the reliability of the cloud connection but wouldn't want to go back to a Roomba.
I think it was @mrmegadeth who coined the phrase, that all products "suck" in their own way

Re: New Release 41.10
I think it would be better to have a dedicated map mode that doesn't clean the house but just maps it. I suspect the battery will last much longer if it wasn't running the vacuum motor.
