Possible Causes

Map not saved or synced, Cleaning started from wrong location, Firmware bug, Multiple maps causing confusion

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use physical barriers if the robot is entering dangerous areas (stairs, wet zones) until the issue is resolved.

  • 1. Verify map status:
    • Ensure the map with no-go zones is saved and currently active.
  • 2. Start from dock:
    • Begin cleaning from the dock so the robot can align with the saved map.
  • 3. Avoid moving dock:
    • Do not move the dock after mapping; if moved, remap the home.
  • 4. Firmware update:
    • Update the robot firmware via Xiaomi Home.
  • 5. Recreate no-go zones:
    • Delete and redraw virtual walls and no-go zones on the latest map.
