this is the eufy home app as it pertains to the euf xa robovac here we can see this is the main
page when you first log into the eufy home app which is different than the uf security
app or the eufy pet app i kind of like the fact that they separate these because it helps to
keep the application itself really clean when compared to other apps when you first log in
you have your one in my case robovac right there the x8 you have the ability to add more stuff by
clicking the plus sign in the upper right hand corner there so you can vacuum bulbs smart plug
smart switches you also have a little help icon right there selecting that will allow you to pick
which one you want to uh ask questions about and then they have chat call us or feedback all from
this area right here we're going to select back because you're interested in the actual
robovac so if we select roboback you have a play button or we just tap on it and it brings us into
the robovac screen itself what you'll notice right here is the last map that the roboback actually
used the robovac does allow for multiple levels in your home so it's always going to be the last one
you have a plus and minus sign over here on the right so you can zoom in and zoom out or you can
also pinch to zoom to zoom in and out you also have this icon right here this actually rotates
the map around so for me when it created this map this is the way it had it oriented well for
me and the way my brain works and my home i generally look at this as this is how my
layout is this is my front door hallway coming in living room area dining room and kitchen so
i like that better so i swapped the map around and this is how it looks up here you have the
square footage when the robovac is going around minutes run and right there is your battery
indicator it does not show you a percent there i kind of wish it did but it does not right there
that little green icon is your charging station location and if i zoom in a little bit right here
that red line is actually a no-go zone that i set up now to do any of that you select edit map
so i can reset the map meaning start over i can manage my maps which is how you have multiple
levels so in this case this is my current map and this is my upstairs map and i can use this map
or edit this map but in order to do this you have to toggle on the multi-level managing coming back
to our edit map you have your edit room so in my case these are pre-defined rooms that were created
and shaded different colors if i select this room i can rename it or i can divide it or if i select
two rooms i can merge them together to get rid of this differentiation so if i select this one room
and then select divide you have a handle here which you kind of plunk down where you want to
divide the room i will say you don't actually need to have it touch a corner you can kind of drop
that where you want i'm going to say no so i like the room divider it is a little less sensitive
than some other robo-backs that i've tried in the past and coming back one more time we have our
no-go zones and here you go this is your robot's radius right there so you can't place a no-go zone
there but you can select no-go or virtual boundary so these two are virtual boundaries a no-go zone
is a square box that you can drop somewhere a virtual boundary is merely a line that you
can place across a specific area and selecting either of them you can adjust the size you can
rotate it around like that or you can select the x to get rid of it anytime you make a change you can
always save so that's all under our edit map area and that's all just on this main screen
which falls under our auto now auto you also have access to suction level pure which is the quietest
form you'll be able to hear tv and have the robot vacuum going power which is pretty good power you
will notice it running around turbo mode you're really going to hear it and then max note forget
about it it is going to sound like a jet fighter taking off which is partially why you got this
so
boost iq is so that when the robot vacuum transfers from
carpet to wood floor it will change the suction level as needed
we have our plate right there which actually sends the robot vacuum out to do its thing and then we
have recharge which will no matter where it is on the map send it back to the charging station
now as the robot vacuum does make its way through the map you will see a line indicating the pathway
that has taken and also lets you know where it has actively gone next tab we have room right
here which will allow us to specify particular rooms that we want it to do so if you didn't have
any no-go zones or boundaries set up you can go i want my hallway my living room and my dining room
and then send it out on its way to do its thing you will notice that unlike the auto page we
have a new icon down here in the lower right and this is a number so right now we have one or two
selecting two means that the robot vacuum will do a complete circuit twice in each of these
locations this is how i tested the actual battery length because my rooms were too small so i sent
it out and did it twice my one problem with the room selector is that it had a problem and it
would go into my kitchen that's why i put up these virtual boundaries next we have our zone now again
we have the number icon which will allow us go anywhere from one to three so it will go three
times now with the zone we have this other icon we select and then we drop in this is the zone
that the robot will go to and then work within think of it almost as i want this area clean
nothing else so in my case this dark shadow is actually a litter box that i have so i really
want all this area around the litter box done and then i want it done three times just to make sure
that everything is clean i then hit go and it goes to this location and within that box will
vacuum three times next we have our spot now again we have the ability to do one to three times and
then the spot will drop a pin in the location that you want cleaned now unlike other spot cleaners
which will spiral around this one actually kind of has a box very similar to our zone but instead
of selecting your zone you just go go here it creates that box and then within that box it will
vacuum in a set pattern so no spiraling now you can only select one spot however with zone you
can have multiple zones for it to go and take care of and then you see with each of those zones it's
letting you know the actual size right that's a 10 foot zone we're going to get rid of these because
we don't want them popping up and like i said spot is a single cleaning we're gonna come back to auto
because that's generally where you're gonna spend the most of your time but for the settings for
this we come up to the sprocket icon in the upper right hand corner up at the top it'll show you an
image of your particular vacuum and the name as well as the wi-fi information right here we have
manage map selecting that will show you just what i showed you before the two maps that i have you
can have up to three maps so three floors you have your scheduling if you wanted to create a
schedule i don't have one but i can say add a schedule and then for this you can select
suction level mode mode is always going to be auto clean because that's where it's going to
just go out and do its thing you select time and then what days you want it to do that on and then
hit save in the upper right hand corner and do i want to save changes i say no because i didn't
make any changes but i want to go back so that is our schedule tap and go kind of very similar
tap somewhere go here there's a lot of redundancy in the app so there's several locations that
you can go to do things here we have manual controls this is kind of cool if you want to
hand the robot off to a kid or if you don't want to spot clean and have it go in a set zone you can
drive it around yourself using the controls notice it's not super finite because you can go forward
and kind of left and right there's no backup in there you have spot clean but again it's not the
spiral spot clean it is that grid spot clean and then you can send it back to recharge and always
start now you do need to start the robot so that it comes off of the charging station
and goes kind of out into the room itself so that you can start manually controlling it
here you've got your cleaning history it keeps track of all the times you've run it as well as
if we bring it up it shows you a map with the room names and those white lines as i said before that
indicate where it actively was cleaning and here we go this is the living area the one thing with
the maps you'll notice it's not the orientation that i prefer but it's in there it shows you the
square footage as well as the cleaning duration share setting if we come in here you can share
your robot but whoever you share it with will have to have their own eufy home account auto
return cleaning i have that turned on so what it does is if you have a larger home or you've sent
it out to clean a specific room several times the battery might run out this will allow the robot
to come back to its charging station charge up and then go out and finish the job i kind of like that
so it's a nice feature that it's there you've got your do not disturb mode which will allow you to
turn on and say hey do not run anything or send the robot vacuum out between this time period you
can set that up here we've got our voice settings you have a volume control up here at the top
which is very important because the robot can be kind of loud depending on the voice that you have
for english you have english male female and then a few other choices i stuck with what i
know here we've got unit setting so you've got square footage or meters find my robot selecting
this you hit start the robot will actually make a noise letting you know exactly where it is and the
volume of the find my robot is separate from the actual voice volume so keep that in mind
accessory services this lets you know how much time you have left for your stuff so in the case
of the brushes you'll have to purchase a new one same with the filter you can clean it off
sensor this is one of the first times that i've actually seen a sensor reminder letting
you know hey all those anti-collision anti-drop sensors you need to kind of keep up with that
and here you have you may also need battery filters and then tape selecting any of these
will actually walk you through a tutorial on how to clean or in this case purchase and reset
the timer here so i like that that's really just built into the app makes it so much easier and you
have help and feedback so just like you saw before health and feedback and then firmware updates now
the firmware updates means that the robot will continuously become smarter as time goes on or if
there's a problem they'll be able to correct that problem in the future activity logs well that's
kind of sending information to you fee you could choose to do that or not i selected no and then
you could remove the device if you so chose if we come back to our main page here over here these
three dots there's actually extra information and i will run through this very quickly because like
i said it's all about redundancy with this app here you've got your account i have my name you
have messages in my case it will tell me hey the robot didn't make it back to the charging station
because when you're using it on the second floor it can't make it back to the charging
station on the first floor you have your help and feedback and you have your eufy care right there
so how to actively take care of your device you have your device sharing just like you did before
smart integration if you have one of these smart assistants you can set it up so that you can tell
your voice assistant to have your robot go out and clean you have your widget settings so the widgets
are actually this thing here this is a widget so by default when you add your robot you'll have a
widget if you have multiple devices you will have multiple widgets that you need to set up
you also have the home page layout which is those widgets how do you want them to lay out in a grid
you have dark mode which is currently turned on language obviously self-explanatory time zone
select your time zone referral if you are part of uf's referral system visit eufy so that will
take you to the website and about eufy home and that will give you information about the eufy app
itself and that has been a complete look at the eufy home app for the eufy x8 robovac
you
