Possible Causes
Incorrect time or time zone in app, Robot not receiving schedule sync, Firmware bug, Internal clock battery issue (older models)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No disassembly required.
Steps to resolve:
- Verify time settings: In the iRobot HOME app, confirm that the time, time zone, and schedule are set correctly.
- Resync schedule: Delete existing schedules and create a new one. Ensure the robot is on the Home Base and connected to Wi‑Fi during setup.
- Soft reset: Reset the robot and reconnect it to the app, then reprogram the schedule.
When to replace parts: If schedules still do not run and manual starts work fine, an internal clock or firmware issue may exist; contact iRobot support for potential board replacement or firmware repair.
