Possible Reasons for Odd Scheduling
- User Settings: Often, the odd scheduling is due to user settings. You might have accidentally set the Roomba to clean at specific times that seem unusual to you now.
- App Glitches: The app used for controlling the Roomba might have a glitch or bug that is accidentally setting these schedules.
- Shared Access: Someone else with access to the app may be setting the schedule intentionally or by accident.
- Firmware Issues: Outdated firmware on your Roomba could lead to buggy behavior, including weird scheduling patterns.
- Power Issues: Inconsistent power or Wi-Fi connectivity problems may cause the Roomba to miss changes to the schedule.
How to Fix the Problem
- Check Schedule Settings: Open the iRobot app and review the schedule settings to ensure the times are what you intended.
- Update or Reinstall the App: Make sure you have the latest version of the app. If the issue persists, try reinstalling it.
- Review Access: Confirm that only trusted individuals have access to your app account. Change your password if necessary.
- Update Firmware: Check for firmware updates in the app settings. Install any updates available to fix potential glitches.
- Reset Schedule: As a last resort, reset the schedule in the app or perform a factory reset on the Roomba, then set the schedule again from scratch.
- Check Connectivity: Ensure that your Wi-Fi connection is stable and the Roomba has a consistent power source.
