Well, it takes a fairly long time to get Google approval for full integration. For products that have partial support, you need to "talk" to the device. The Homey hub took 1.5 years to get approval for full integration, not sure how long this will take.

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.

Check that your quiet time is not enabled.
When quiet time is enabled, the schedules will not run at all during quiet time even if it is set.

It is working ok now. Thanks! Think some software glitches. The schedule does not appear immediately once I have created them. It somehow only appear on the next day.

While for no go zone / virtual wall, I found that it can only be set once i have pressed start cleaning. No issue now. One thing I hope it can better is NOT to restrict 10 virtual wall :)

Good to know! I actually forgot to manual vac last 2 nights but have the vac scheduled for room cleaning and edge cleaning, woke up and saw the records that the S7 did cleaning! Very nice!

I I have feedback to minihelpers and they are increasing the virtual wall limit.
But suggest using the virtual wall as blocks instead of lines.

Remember u can select different maps for different schedules too!

Hey mate - you got it to work? For some reason I'm stuck at the link accreditation page. My minihelpers details don't work on the prompt page after clicking link.

Not all vacuum robot water tank works the same. Models like Viomi v2 and S7 family uses where there is no water pump, you can use very diluted form of clear floor liquid.

Those that have water pump type then have to selective with cleaning floor liquid that has no bubble and wax. One such suitable type is hizero liquid.

Anyone can advise these vacuums with the mopping feature can add those biodegradable detergent ? Add like 1-2 drops etc

wait for more users, no rush in buying unless it is super worth it.
viomi s7 come from the same manufacturer, so meaning their hardware is more or less the same, just the software is cater to their respective seller requests. my guess is users been complaining about viomi, so they just abandon the brand...and replace with own branding....
To me, i will still remain neutral view for s7 but my thinking is 换汤不换药 :(

u can buy according to this timeline.

When xiaomi robot meets Ecovac robot. Xiaomi is tiny but has the agility and speed. Ecovac has the size, sees much farther, works stealthy but slow.

I'm using hydra s7. Planning to use it for pure mopping. Anyone can advise if the scrubbing mode is for mopping? The manual is very badly done. Only basic information..

This is the Ecovac robot air cleaner. Equipped with the same Lidar as robot vacuum. :)

Does the app from mini helper have any notification? I schedule the cleaning but there is no notification about it.

Roborock S5 user here.

Notification that says "Fan malfunctioned. Reboot system" - anyone faced this before?

It's only been 2 months on MAX, everyday schedule.

I tried rebooting the system and cleaning out everything but the fan is still having the jerking motion (like car engine stalling, start and stop)
