Thank you!! Cleared lots of doubts. Since s6 and t6 are both mi home then if i have other xiaomi devices, i shld get t6 right? I remember someone mentioned t6 have to select mi home china server. And s6 select non china will result in other xiaomi device cannot be controlled by the app at the same time. Because other xiao mi devices are china server based.

From what i know about roborock, is they might be blocking overseas users from using China server. So there are chances u may not be able to access t6 through mi home (China) with sg ip address. If u going to buy t6, pls double check with the seller/existing users.

Yes, if u create mi home account in China region, u can only use China devices.

I did some checks on the Hydra S7 model, planning to buy 11:11. It should be the same accessories as the newer Xiaomi range of robots. If buying accessories on Taobao get the accessories for the latest Xiaomi Mi Robot vaccum 2 (the black one)

or the ones for Xiaomi Viomi V2 Type should fit too.

The roborock S5 and S6 ones the accessories is different.

Any key word to search in Taobao for Hydra S7 accessories.

Anyone bought the roborock gen 2 from mini helpers ?
Are they the same as s5 ? I can only find s5 in the mi home app.
Can the vacuum work using China region on mi home app because I have a lot existing devices on the app but on China region due to compatibility issue.

you won't be able to use t6 outside china (simcard check) and s6 won't work on china region. both can be fixed with custom version of mi home if you use android.

Wow , that’s bad. If that’s the case maybe will get s7 hydra. But not sure how effecient is the routing path. Are they the same navigation programing as s5 or s6 ?

a00521b1-a908-46f6-bbdb-249cd415940c.s_400-w-fs_s.jpg




So s6 is international version and t6 is china version?
Yes
T6 can integrate with mi home but s6 cannot?
Both are using Mi Home
Online website in sg selling S6 but deliver T6 to people?
Not sure where u see this. During Release, there are some sellers selling T6 but now all i see is S6.
S6/t6 got battery problem less than a year and due to motherboard issue and the only service center is at IMM and the repair is very fast and free?
eh, different seller different service center.
If i buy T6/S6 do i need a power transformer to step up or down for the charging plug?
China-SG are using same voltage. The only different is the power plug... just need to buy 2 to 3 pin adapter.
How to choose between S6 or T6 if i want to in sg and which seller to buy from leh?
International is S6

Bought the S7 thanks to your recommendation :o Will test it out after my house reno is done

I had a Faulty Xiaomi Roborock which i Brought to a service center at IMM for repairs 2-3 weeks back. It was charging Err 13 during charging and cannot use at all, seems like common issue.
Is yours the same issue? I used mine for barely a year for the roborock and it had failed. Now i think if fail again i go for iRobot or consider the Viomi already.
Had my roborock repaired at IMM and it is now working fine.
Can search Robot care center on Google can find it bah. Anyway they don't charge any fees and service is fast so no harm bring there. If setup error, they should be able to guide you too.

How much did pay in total for the repair?

Based on video and the specifcations, It should be same cleaning navigation, all using Lidar navigation.

I managed to get 1 set last night on Qoo10 when they were offering free Fan for 30 sets. Not sure if anyone saw it.

Seems like really good deal! will share feedback after testing.

Does Hydra S7 work with Google Assistant?

Yes Google and Alexa.
Have not tested it yet..

To use google Home:

Download and install google assistant APP.

Ensure your google assistant account is same email address as google home APP account.

On the bottom left, click into the explore icon in google assistant APP

Search “clean robot” click on it and click link button.

Login with same account as the Minihelpers app user and login.

It is linked!!

User Say to google home device :

“OK google, let me talk to clean robot”

Google home a ays:

Greetings!! How can I assist? You can say ask clean robot to start cleaning. What would you like to do?

User says:

“Ask clean robot to start cleaning.”

Google home says:

Cleaning will now start.

Robot starts cleaning!!

Ok this means only partial integration with Google Assistant. If full integration, you don't need to tell Google you want to speak to the robot vacuum. Minihelpers maybe still waiting for approval from Google.

For Hydra S7 user, anyone has encountered issues when setting up a schedule or no go zone? It does not seems to work for my case. I am using the minihelper sg apps.
