Renaming iRobot Roomba Map Zones
- Ensure that your Roomba model supports map zone labeling. Not all models have this feature, so verify compatibility through the iRobot app or the user manual.
- Open the iRobot Home App on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure that you are on the same Wi-Fi network as your Roomba for optimal connectivity and functionality.
- In the app, navigate to the map section. This is usually under the cleaning maps or maps tab, depending on your specific app interface.
- Locate the map zone you wish to rename. You will see various rooms identified on your Roomba’s map if mapping has already been done.
- Select the zone or room. This action might be a simple tap or a press-and-hold, depending on the app's interface. Look for an option that allows you to edit or rename the zone.
- Enter the new name for the zone. Be creative or specific based on how you utilize the space. For example, name the kitchen, living room, or home office for easy identification.
- Save your changes. Ensure that you confirm the changes to the zone name to update your map properly.
- Check the updated map. Once saved, navigate back to the main map to ensure the name change has taken effect. This will avoid any confusion in future cleaning tasks.
Additional Tips
- If you encounter issues, such as the app not updating or syncing with your Roomba, try restarting both the app and the robot. This can resolve connectivity and update issues.
- Regularly update the iRobot Home App to the latest version to ensure compatibility and access to new features and improvements.
- Consider recalibrating or remapping if zones do not appear accurate. This ensures your Roomba cleans areas as you expect.
