Xiaomi Carpet Detection or Mopping Mode Misconfiguration

Robot vacuum drags the mop pad on carpets even when set to avoid carpets during mopping.

Possible Causes

Carpet boost or avoidance disabled, Low-contrast carpets not detected, Faulty carpet sensor (if present), Outdated firmware

Safety first: Remove the mop pad before running the robot on carpets if avoidance is unreliable.

1. Check mopping settings:
- In the Xiaomi Home app, enable carpet avoidance or restricted zones for carpets.
2. Use no-mop zones:
- Draw no-mop zones over carpeted areas on the map.
3. Firmware update:
- Update firmware to improve carpet detection algorithms.
4. Manual solution:
- Remove the mop pad when cleaning mixed surfaces if software avoidance is unreliable.
