How to Add a Room to Eufy Robovac

This guide walks you through how to add a room to Eufy Robovac using the Eufy Clean app. You’ll learn to update maps, name rooms, set cleaning modes, and troubleshoot common issues for smarter, targeted cleaning.

Key Takeaways

• Ensure your Robovac is on the latest firmware: Outdated software can prevent room recognition and mapping features from working properly.
• Use the Eufy Clean app for room management: All room additions, renaming, and zone settings are handled within the app, not on the vacuum itself.
• Run a full home scan before adding rooms: A complete cleaning cycle helps the vacuum create an accurate map of your space.
• Name rooms clearly and logically: Use simple, descriptive names like “Master Bedroom” or “Kitchen” to avoid confusion during scheduled cleanings.
• Set custom cleaning preferences per room: Adjust suction power, water flow (for mopping models), and cleaning frequency based on room type.
• Re-scan if layout changes: Moving furniture or adding obstacles may require a new map scan for accurate room detection.
• Troubleshoot mapping issues promptly: If rooms aren’t appearing, restart the vacuum, reset the map, or contact Eufy support.

How to Add a Room to Eufy Robovac: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide

So, you’ve got your Eufy Robovac humming around your floors, keeping things tidy—but now you want more control. Maybe you’d like it to clean just the kitchen tonight, or avoid the living room during movie time. The good news? You can! By learning how to add a room to Eufy Robovac, you unlock advanced features like room-specific cleaning, custom schedules, and no-go zones.

This guide will walk you through every step—from preparing your vacuum and app to naming rooms and setting cleaning preferences. Whether you’re using a Eufy RoboVac G30, L35 Hybrid, or any other smart model with mapping capabilities, these instructions apply. Let’s dive in and turn your robot vacuum into a precision cleaning pro.

What You’ll Need Before Starting

Before we begin adding rooms, make sure you have the following ready:

• A compatible Eufy Robovac model: Only models with LiDAR or camera-based navigation support room mapping (e.g., RoboVac G30 Edge, L35 Hybrid, X8 Hybrid).
• The Eufy Clean app installed: Download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play if you haven’t already.
• Your vacuum charged and connected to Wi-Fi: A full battery ensures uninterrupted mapping, and Wi-Fi is required for app communication.
• A stable home layout: Avoid major furniture rearrangements during mapping—consistency helps the vacuum recognize rooms accurately.

If your model doesn’t support mapping (like older G10 or G20 models), unfortunately, you won’t be able to add named rooms. But don’t worry—many newer Eufy vacuums do, so check your model number in the app under “Device Info.”

Step 1: Update Your Eufy Robovac Firmware

Outdated firmware is one of the most common reasons room mapping fails. Eufy regularly releases updates that improve navigation, fix bugs, and add new features.

How to Check and Update Firmware

1. Open the Eufy Clean app and tap on your Robovac.
2. Go to Settings (usually a gear icon).
3. Tap About or Firmware Version.
4. If an update is available, you’ll see a prompt. Tap Update Now.
5. Keep the vacuum powered on and near your router during the update—it usually takes 5–10 minutes.

Pro Tip: Enable auto-updates in the app settings so your vacuum stays current without manual checks.

Step 2: Run a Full Home Cleaning Cycle

To add rooms, your Robovac first needs a complete map of your home. This happens during its initial or subsequent full cleaning runs.

How to Start a Full Clean

1. Place your Robovac on the charging dock.
2. Open the Eufy Clean app and select your vacuum.
3. Tap Clean or Start to begin a full home cleaning.
4. Let it run until it returns to the dock automatically (usually 60–120 minutes, depending on home size).

Important: Don’t pause or stop the cycle midway. Interrupting the scan can result in an incomplete or inaccurate map.

What to Expect During Mapping

As your Robovac cleans, it uses sensors to build a digital map of your floors. You’ll see this map appear in the app in real time. Walls, furniture, and doorways are detected and outlined. Once the cycle finishes, the app will display a completed floor plan with suggested room divisions.

Step 3: Access the Map in the Eufy Clean App

After the full clean, it’s time to view and edit your map.

How to View Your Map

1. Open the Eufy Clean app.
2. Tap on your Robovac device.
3. Look for the Map tab (usually at the bottom or top of the screen).
4. Tap it to view the generated floor plan.

You should now see a visual layout of your home. Rooms may appear as unnamed zones or with temporary labels like “Room 1” or “Zone A.”

Step 4: Add and Name Rooms

Now comes the fun part—turning those generic zones into recognizable rooms.

How to Add a Room

1. In the Map view, tap the Edit button (often a pencil icon).
2. Tap on an unnamed zone or area you want to define as a room.
3. Select Add Room or Name Room.
4. Enter a clear, descriptive name (e.g., “Guest Bedroom,” “Home Office,” “Dining Room”).
5. Tap Save.

Pro Tip: Use consistent naming. Avoid vague terms like “Big Room” or “Space 2.” Instead, use “Master Bathroom” or “Kids’ Playroom” for clarity.

How to Merge or Split Rooms

Sometimes, the vacuum may split one room into two or combine two rooms into one. Here’s how to fix it:

• To merge rooms: Tap Edit, select both zones, and choose “Merge.” Then name the combined area.
• To split a room: Tap Edit, select the zone, and choose “Split.” Draw a line where you want the division (e.g., between kitchen and dining area).

Example: If your open-plan living and dining area were mapped as one room, you can split them by drawing a line along the rug edge or furniture boundary.

Step 5: Set Cleaning Preferences for Each Room

Once rooms are named, you can customize how your Robovac cleans each one.

How to Adjust Room Settings

1. In the Map view, tap on a named room.
2. Select Room Settings or Cleaning Preferences.
3. Choose from options like:
   • Suction Power: High for carpets, Standard for hard floors, Quiet for nighttime.
   • Water Flow (for mopping models): More water for tile, less for wood.
   • Cleaning Frequency: Set how often the room is cleaned (e.g., daily, every other day).
4. Tap Save when done.

Example Use Case: Set the “Kitchen” to High suction and frequent cleaning due to spills, while the “Bedroom” uses Quiet mode and cleans only twice a week.

Step 6: Create Custom Cleaning Schedules

Now that rooms are set up, you can schedule cleanings for specific areas.

How to Schedule Room Cleanings

1. In the app, go to Schedule or Timers.
2. Tap Add Schedule.
3. Choose the room(s) you want to clean.
4. Set the time, frequency (daily, weekly, etc.), and cleaning mode.
5. Save the schedule.

Pro Tip: Schedule high-traffic areas like the kitchen or entryway for morning cleanings, and bedrooms for evenings when noise matters less.

Step 7: Use No-Go Zones and Virtual Walls

Sometimes, you don’t want the vacuum in certain areas—even within a room.

How to Set No-Go Zones

1. In the Map view, tap Edit.
2. Select No-Go Zone or Virtual Wall.
3. Draw a line or rectangle around areas to avoid (e.g., pet bowls, cords, delicate furniture).
4. Save the zone.

Example: Place a no-go zone around a cat tree or under a coffee table with loose wires.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even with the best setup, you might run into problems. Here’s how to fix the most common ones.

Problem: Rooms Aren’t Showing Up

• Solution: Run another full cleaning cycle. The map may need refreshing, especially if furniture has moved.
• Ensure the vacuum has enough battery and isn’t obstructed during cleaning.

Problem: Room Names Keep Resetting

• Solution: This often happens after a firmware update or app reinstall. Re-name the rooms and avoid clearing app data.
• Make sure your phone and vacuum are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Problem: Vacuum Misses Parts of a Room

• Solution: Check for obstacles blocking the vacuum’s path. Move cords, shoes, or small furniture.
• Ensure the vacuum’s sensors are clean—wipe the front bumper and camera (if applicable) with a dry cloth.

Problem: App Crashes When Editing Map

• Solution: Close and reopen the app. If it persists, reinstall the Eufy Clean app and log back in.
• Update your phone’s operating system if outdated.

Problem: Vacuum Gets Stuck in a Room

• Solution: Add a no-go zone around tight spaces. Ensure doorways are clear and thresholds aren’t too high.
• Consider using boundary strips (sold separately) for complex layouts.

Tips for Better Room Mapping

To get the most out of your Eufy Robovac’s room features, follow these best practices:

• Keep doors open during mapping: This helps the vacuum understand room connections.
• Avoid dark or reflective floors: These can confuse sensors. Use a small rug or marker if needed.
• Clean sensors regularly: Dust on the laser or camera can reduce accuracy.
• Re-scan after renovations: If you’ve moved walls, added rooms, or changed layouts, run a new full clean.
• Use multiple maps for multi-level homes: Some Eufy models support saving maps for different floors. Dock the vacuum on each level and run a full clean to save separate maps.

Advanced Features to Explore

Once you’ve mastered room setup, try these advanced options:

• Zone Cleaning: Select multiple rooms for a one-time clean (great for party cleanup).
• Spot Cleaning: Tap a spot on the map for targeted cleaning (e.g., under the dining table).
• History Tracking: View past cleaning routes and times in the app.
• Voice Control: Link your Robovac to Alexa or Google Assistant to say, “Clean the kitchen” or “Vacuum the living room.”
