Possible Causes

Rain sensor disabled in settings, Rain sensor pad dirty, Rain sensor cable disconnected, Faulty rain sensor module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the robot before cleaning the sensor.

  • Check settings: In the Ambrogio menu, verify that the rain sensor function is enabled.
  • Clean sensor: Locate the rain sensor (often on the top cover) and clean it with a soft cloth to remove dirt and algae.
  • Test with water: With the robot ON but stationary, drip some water on the sensor and see if it reacts (stops or returns to base). Dry afterward.
  • Inspect wiring: Ensure the rain sensor cable is connected firmly to the main board.
  • Replace sensor if needed: If there is still no response, install a new Ambrogio rain sensor module.
