Making Maps with DEEBOT 900 / 901 /907

The Deebot 900 / 901 / 907 rely on a laser to map your entire home or office - once the map is complete, it will save the map, and use it to methodically clean.  Using the app on your phone, you can then block off areas you don't want cleaned, or focus the robot to clean specific areas.

To create your first map, it's a good idea to set up your home:

1.  Pick a good spot for the charging station.  The Deebot uses it as home base, and once the map is created, you can't move the charging station (without having to create a new map.)

2.  Open all room doors and clear all obstructions that would prevent the Deebot 900 / 901 / 907 from finding all rooms, hallways and areas.

3.  Pick up any loose items (clothing, toys, etc.) and tidy up loose cords and wires.

4.  Keep your pets away from the robot during its mapping - the laser can get confused by a curious dog, or territorial cat!

5.  When your robot is out mapping, it's best to stay away from it too!  Take fido on a walk, or go get that lawnmower your neighbor borrowed last fall.

Ok - let's get started.  Open up the Ecovacs Home app, and go to your robot.

When making your first map, first choose "Continuous Cleaning" by checking the green checkmark.

Now send your robot out on its first cleaning.  Just tap the AUTO button on the app:

 

Your Robot will go out and map your home - and it will be vacuuming the entire time.  It may take over an hour - and also, the robot may go back to the charging station, recharge, and then go out and finish the job.  Go get a cup of coffee.

When it's done, it will return to the charging dock on its own, and you can check out the finished map on the app

Now you've unlocked a ton of tools to efficiently clean any and all parts of your home.   To learn about using Virtual Boundaries on your map, click here.

Some more tips:

Your Deebot will take some time to map your home - it all depends on the size.  While it's mapping, it's also cleaning.  Please do not interfere with it while it's out mapping - it may stop, turn in circles and generally look lost - but just let it do it's thing.  If you pick it up, you'll need to start over.  

Please do not move the charging station once the map is created, as the map may be lost and you'll have to remap your home.  Also, the robot won’t save the map if you control via the app to charge itself or you move it manually to other area to clean while it is making the map.  Basically, go for a nice long walk while it's mapping - and let it do its thing!
