How to

Set your Roomba’s cleaning schedule

Open the app

You’ll have used the iRobot app to set up the Roomba in the first place, so open it up. Tap the top–left icon to select a particular Roomba (if applicable), then find the Schedule button at the bottom of the main screen.

Say when

You can set one automatic clean per day (though, realistically, your home won’t need vacuuming every day). Turn on the switches for the days you want the Roomba to get moving, then set the time to suit your schedule.

How did it do?

If your Roomba is cleaning when you’re not around, it’s worth checking its previous actions in the History menu. Tap a listing to see a map of the spots it’s hit — dark edges denote areas where it has found hard barriers.
