Solving common problems

For many users, the main problem is setting up the device, connecting or synchronizing with a smartphone. Potential difficulties are associated with different manufacturers of robot vacuum cleaners and phones. On each of the gadgets, a certain problem may arise, which must be solved in strict accordance with the protocol of the device. If the vacuum cleaner does not connect to the Wi-Fi network, then you need to find the cause. There may be several of them:

• the vacuum cleaner does not support Wi-Fi;
• problems in the application;
• mobile traffic is enabled.

To solve this problem, you need to reinstall the application, reset the Wi-Fi settings on the vacuum cleaner body by pressing two buttons.

If there are problems with the application, then fine tuning is necessary. Often, when you sign in to your account, the desktop displays an "unrecognized error" or "unable to sign in." To fully control the robot, initialization of the account is necessary, so the problem should be solved.

2 ways to solve:

1. Downloading a special VPN application to your phone. This technique helps to "trick" the servers by changing the region. If you cannot log into your account after activating the VPN, then you should try to reload the VPN settings, since the region changes every time you turn on the application.
2. Change of region in the application "Mi Home". Often the position "mainland China" is displayed on the screen, but an error occurs when connecting to the server, so you should change the region of residence to any region from the drop-down list when you select.

An application error when the device fails to initialize suggests a problem with the Mi Home. It can be quickly solved on Xiaomi phones by creating a clone of the application. But on smartphones aios and android, this function is not provided by the developers. Removing and reinstalling "Mi Home", as well as resetting the Wi-Fi settings on the panel of the robot vacuum cleaner, can help.
