How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the robot is on the dock with sufficient charge when testing schedules.

  • 1. Verify schedule in app: Open the Amazon Basics or companion app and confirm that schedules are enabled for the correct days and times.
  • 2. Check time settings: Ensure the robot's time zone and clock are correct. Adjust if necessary.
  • 3. Update firmware: Check for and install any available firmware updates via the app.
  • 4. Reset schedules: Delete all schedules, reboot the robot, then recreate the schedules.
  • 5. If the robot still ignores schedules: The internal real-time clock circuit on the main board may be faulty. Main board replacement may be required.
