Roomba+

Add Roomba+

• Select robotThe robot to set up. Setting up with your iRobot account is recommended: it works for every robot, finds all robots on the account and needs no button press. A robot that connects locally still needs its address on your network: it is searched for, and asked for if it cannot be found. Robots found on your network are listed too; choose manual entry if yours is missing.

Manual setup

• IP addressLocal IP address of your Roomba

Enter password

• PasswordThe robot's local password. It is read automatically while you hold the HOME button; enter it here only if that failed.

iRobot cloud credentials (optional)

• iRobot emailThe email address used to log into the iRobot app.
• iRobot passwordYour iRobot app password.

Also asked when at the sign in with your irobot account step.

Choose a robot

• RobotThe robot from your iRobot account to add. Each robot becomes its own entry.

Reconnect to iRobot cloud

• iRobot emailThe email address used to log into the iRobot app.
• iRobot passwordYour current iRobot app password.

Change the connection

• IP addressThe local IP address of the Roomba.
• PasswordThe robot's local password. Leave empty to take it from your iRobot account (robots set up with an account).

After setup

• Enable live mapEnable the live cleaning map for robots with position sensing (Roomba 900, i, s, j, Braava m).
• Ask the robot for its positionOnly offered for robots that do not report their position on their own. Asks the robot about once a second while it cleans, to draw the cleaning path live. Off: the map shows the last finished mission from the iRobot cloud instead, if cloud access is set up.
• Align the path with the roomsOnly with the option above. Turns the cleaning path against the floor plan until it lies on its rooms. Room tracking uses the same turned positions, so a wrong angle also names the wrong room. Not the same as “Rotate the map picture”, which turns the whole picture and never moves the path against the rooms. Automatic starts from the turn of the map the robot saved, including one set in the iRobot app, and changes to the angle that puts the robot’s path in the rooms once a run has shown it clearly; the path already drawn turns with it. If the path still runs through walls or beside its rooms, set an angle: the path already drawn turns as soon as you save.
• Map size (pixels)Map canvas size in pixels (400–1200). Default: 600.
• Scale (mm/pixel)Millimetres per pixel (5–30). Default 10 = 6 m × 6 m at 600 px.
• Floor label (e.g. Ground Floor)Free text, for example Ground Floor. Groups robots in the fleet view.
• Correlate dirt with sensors (optional)Sensors such as humidity or pollen. After 30 missions Roomba+ reports whether the robot collects more dirt when they are high. Calculated locally.
• Draw room names on the map imageWrites each room's name onto the map image.
• Create a button for each saved favoriteOne button for each favourite saved in the iRobot app. On a busy account that is a lot of buttons.
• Show cleaning schedules as a calendarShows the robot's cleaning schedules as a calendar.
• Draw clean zonesOutlines the clean zones on the map image.
• Draw keep-out zonesOutlines the keep-out zones on the map image.
• Draw no-mop zonesOutlines the no-mop zones on the map image.
• Separate sensor per room and zoneCreates a separate sensor for every room and zone.
• Rotate the map pictureTurns every map picture clockwise as a whole, rooms and path together, for example to match the iRobot app. It never moves the path against the rooms; for that, use “Align the path with the rooms”. The map has no north: its top is the way the robot faced when it left the dock, so it depends on how the dock stands.
• Region IDs (comma-separated)Example: 5, 12, 7
• Zone name assignmentsOne entry per line: 21=Corridor, 22=Kitchen, etc.
• iRobot emailThe email address of your iRobot app account. Leave both fields empty to turn cloud features off.
• iRobot passwordThe password of your iRobot app account.
• Blocking sensorsBinary sensors that block a start when ON (e.g. door open, motion detected).
• Behavior when blockedAbort immediately or queue the start until sensors clear.
• Queue timeout (minutes)How long to wait for sensors to clear before giving up.
• Zone to editThe zone to rename or hide. Submit without a zone to save your changes.
• Display nameCustom name shown in selectors. Leave blank to use the default name.
• Hide this zoneHidden zones are removed from selectors and will not trigger naming repair issues.
• Enable presence-aware schedulingHolds cleaning schedules while someone is home and releases them once everyone has left.
• Tracked personsThe people whose presence counts.
• Mode“Unfreeze when all away” releases schedules automatically; “Fire event (manual control)” leaves the decision to your own automation.
• Delay after leaving (minutes)How long everyone must be gone before schedules are released.
• Delay before second robot startAn extra wait after the away delay before cleaning actually starts.
• Enable demand cleaningStarts a clean automatically when the floor is noticeably dirtier than usual.
• Trigger multiplier (e.g. 1.5 = 50% above average)How far above the usual dirt level triggers a clean: 1.5 means 50% above average.
