Rollout Start: October 5, 2022
What’s in this update?
Clean around pet areas
Braava now recognizes pet bowls and cat litter boxes and recommends a clean zone so you can quickly address the messes left behind by your busy pets. This adds to your robot’s existing ability to recommend clean zones for sofas, kitchen counters, and more.
Make maps fast
Want to map your home? Maybe you want to map your second floor for the first time, or start over with a floor you’ve already mapped. Map creation is now faster than ever. Follow these instructions to try it out. Just remember to keep the lights on, open doors, and tidy up before you send Braava into uncharted territory for the first time!
Change your robot’s voice
Want to make Braava’s voice sound different? With this release and iRobot Home App version 7.0 or higher, you can choose an alternate voice for your robot in any of our supported languages. Use “Product Settings” on the iRobot Home App main screen to make the change.
Tell Braava to move on
Does Braava enter a room where you need a little peace and quiet? Now you can press Skip during a job to send your robot to the next room! Requires the iRobot Home App version 7.0 or higher. Learn more here.
Squashed some bugs
We don’t need to bother you with all the details, but our engineering team has been hard at work squashing bugs that our users have reported. Thank you! Here are a few examples:
-
Braava now distinguishes problems with getting onto the Home Base from problems navigating to the Home Base area. You should see fewer “stuck” or “docking trouble” reports in open space far from the Home Base.
