How to Add Additional Maps for Your Roborock Q5 Pro in the Roborock App
Setting up your Roborock Q5 Pro to clean multiple levels of your home can significantly enhance its efficiency. This guide will walk you through the straightforward process of adding new maps for various floors using the Roborock app. By following these steps, you can ensure that your robot vacuum effectively navigates your multi-level home, optimizing its cleaning routes and improving overall performance.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the latest version of the Roborock app installed on your mobile device. You can download the app from the Roborock website. Additionally, confirm that your Roborock Q5 Pro is charged and connected to your Wi-Fi network.
Step 1: Launch the Roborock App
Open the Roborock app on your device. If you haven’t added your robot vacuum to the app yet, tap the plus icon (+) to link your Roborock Q5 Pro. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect the device to your app.
Step 2: Select Your Robot Vacuum
Once the app is open, select your Roborock Q5 Pro from the list of devices. This will take you to the main interface displaying your vacuum’s current map and status.
Step 3: Access the Map Settings
To add a new map, locate the options menu, indicated by three dots in the upper right corner of the screen. Tap on these dots to open the settings menu.
Step 4: Manage Maps
Scroll through the settings menu until you find the option labeled Manage Maps. Click on this option to view your current home layout settings.
Step 5: Change Home Layout to Multi-level
In the home layout section, you will initially see that the layout is set to Single Level. Change this to Multi-level. This step is crucial as it allows you to create maps for each floor of your home. After making this change, you will see the option to create a new map.
Step 6: Create a New Map
To create a map for a different level, ensure your Roborock is positioned on that floor. Then, click the plus icon to start the mapping process. Select Clean and Mapping from the options presented. Your Roborock will now begin cleaning and mapping the designated area.
Step 7: Repeat for Additional Floors
If you have more floors to map, repeat the above steps, ensuring your Roborock is placed on the correct level each time. This will allow you to create a comprehensive map for your entire multi-level home.
Extra Tips & Common Issues
When setting up mapping for your Roborock, ensure that all areas are free of obstacles to allow the vacuum to navigate effectively. Common mistakes include forgetting to change the home layout setting to multi-level, leading to issues in mapping additional floors. If you encounter problems with the mapping process, try resetting the vacuum’s connection to the app.
