## What is Philips HomeRun Robot App?

Unlock the full potential of your Philips HomeRun robot. Tell it exactly how and when to clean each room and mow your lawn. Then, relax.
 
With the Philips HomeRun Robot app you can:
● Start, pause or stop cleaning and mowing remotely
● Make a precise map of your home to clean each room in no time
● Control where your robot cleans and mows
● Choose a cleaning mode per room and mowing mode per lawn
● Set up once, enjoy spotless floors and lawns daily
● Custom clean and mow for specific situations
● Receive progress updates on each clean and mow
● Keep your data secure
 
Start, pause or stop your robot remotely
Come home to clean floors and a perfect-looking garden every day by using your Philips HomeRun vacuum, mop, and lawn mowing robot in combination with the app. Set it up once—to clean each room and mow your lawn just the way you like it—touch ‘Start’, anytime, anywhere, and let your robot do the rest.
On its first run, your robot will map your floor plan and garden. Now you have an interactive map of your home that you can use to tell your robot how and when to clean each room or to monitor how your lawn is mowed. The robot vacuum cleaner can store up to five maps.
 
Control where your robot vacuum cleaner cleans
Only want your robot to clean the kitchen, bathroom, living room? With the app, you can tell your robot which rooms you want cleaned, and in what order. If there are areas or things you’d like it to avoid—like precious items or a rug in an area you want to mop—you can tell it where not to go, or not to mop, as well.

Choose a cleaning mode for each room and mowing mode for each lawn
Give each room unique attention with one of the cleaning modes and mowing modes for your lawn. Use Dry mode to vacuum the bedroom and Wet & Dry mode to vacuum and mop hard floors. Put your robot on Quiet mode if, say, you have a meeting, or give the kitchen an extra thorough clean by using Intensive mode. Choose a mowing mode for your lawn to get the perfect looking garden.
 
Set up once. Enjoy spotless floors and lawns every day
Once you’ve created a cleaning and mowing plan, clean floors and perfectly mowed lawns are always a tap away. Tap ‘Start’ when you want your robot to begin - every day if you like, and at a time that suits your schedule.
 
Custom clean for specific situations
Had friends over and need an extra thorough clean? Or maybe the dog left paw prints in your hallway. Again. Schedule a custom clean and mow that targets specific rooms, areas.
 
Get step-by-step guidance to setup easily
From connecting to Wi-Fi to the first clean and mow, we’ll guide you through every step of getting started. You’ll find easy-to-follow instructions and how-to-videos as well.
 
Always have support at your fingertips
Have extra questions about the HomeRun app and robot? You’ll find a user manual in the app, answers to FAQs and easy access to Customer Care if need be.
 
Receive progress updates
As your robot cleans and mows, you’ll receive in-app updates. See where your robot currently is in your home and what the robot mowing progress is in your garden. Check on its battery levels and, most importantly, get notified as soon as the cleaning run or mowing is done 
 
Maintain high performance
Get the best performance from your robot by replacing parts on time. Our app lets you know when it’s time to replace parts like filters, mops, and blades, and makes it easy to order them.
 
Keep your data secure
Philips adheres to a strict privacy policy. We recommend creating an account to ensure you can save your preferences. If you prefer, you can use the app as a guest. 
 
WiFi
Philips HomeRun robot vacuum cleaners have dual band Wi-Fi so they are easy to connect to your home Wi-Fi, whether it's to 2.4 or 5.0GHz. Robot lawn mowers only connect to your 2.4GHz home Wi-Fi.

### 1/5 — .

*2026-05-24*

The app, like the vacuum cleaner, is extremely buggy, so I don't recommend it at all.

**Developer response:** I saddened to learn that you are experiencing navigation and mapping issues. Here are some steps that may help:

• Make sure the robot’s sensors and camera are clean and unobstructed.
• Avoid moving the charging dock during cleaning sessions, as this can affect location tracking.
• If the map keeps resetting, try deleting the current map and creating a new one in a well-lit environment.

If the issue persists, please share your device's model number and a short video recording capturing the behavior and issue to homerun@versuni.com

Thank you, Philips Home Living

Edit: I comprehend your frustration with the app's bugs. To better assist you, please send your device model number and a screen recording of the issues to homerun@versuni.com.

Thank you, Philips Home Living

### 3/5 — Erfüllt die Mindestanforderungen, könnte aber besser sein

*2026-05-17*

Prinzipiell eine gute App, die tut, was sie soll. Allerdings ist sie nicht sehr intuitiv, die deutsche Übersetzung ist nicht perfekt und es gibt kleinere Bugs, zum Beispiel Fehler und Abstürze beim editieren der Karten (einfügen und entfernen von künstlichen Wänden und Zonen) oder falsche Statusbeschreibung des Roboters (‚wird geladen‘, obwohl der Roboter gerade in Betrieb ist). Das ist nicht ganz Stand der Technik und von der Marke könnte man etwas mehr erwarten. Trotzdem erfüllt die App die Mindestanforderungen.

**Developer response:** Es freut mich zu hören, dass die App die grundlegenden Anforderungen erfüllt, und ich verstehe Ihren Wunsch nach einer intuitiveren und ausgefeilteren Benutzererfahrung. Die Benutzerfreundlichkeit, die Übersetzungsqualität sowie die Probleme bei der Kartenbearbeitung und der Genauigkeit der Statusangaben wurden zur Kenntnis genommen. Ich werde dies an das Team weiterleiten, damit es bei zukünftigen Verbesserungen berücksichtigt wird.

Vielen Dank, Philips Home Living

### 1/5 — Mapeamento

*2026-04-24*

Muito ruim. Vc seleciona o mapa, coloca para aspirar e ele começa sempre novamente o mapeamento novamente. Um inferno digital.

**Developer response:** Fico desanimado ao saber da sua experiência com o mapa e compreendo a sua frustração. Ao usar o dispositivo, tente selecionar o mapa e defini-lo para aspirar antes que o robô limpe. Se o problema persistir, por favor, partilhe o número do modelo do seu dispositivo e uma gravação de ecrã do problema para homerun@versuni.com

Obrigado, Philips Em Casa

### 5/5 — Love hate

*2026-02-12*

Lots a mess ups but it’s the initial versions so I give it to that. Does a pretty good job overall

**Developer response:** I'm happy to hear you're enjoying your robot vacuum!

Thank you, Philips Home Living

### 4/5 — Tolle App und toller Robotersauger

*2026-02-09*

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Sauger und der App, alles funktioniert sehr gut! Dennoch wären ein paar Verbesserung sehr hilfreich: 1. in der Auswahl des Saugers wird nicht der aktuelle Zustand gezeigt, wenn der Sauger zu 100% geladen ist wird von angezeigt er würde laden. 2. mehrere Reinigungspläne wären hilfreich (das haben schon andere Rezensoren angeregt). 3. der Ladezustand, der für das Weiterreinigen (bei einer Ladepause) erforderlich ist, kann nicht individuell eingestellt werden, d.h. selbst wenn nur noch eine kleine Fläche zu reinigen ist damit die Aufgabe erledigt ist, wird der Sauger auf 80% geladen, was dann sehr lange dauert. 
Danke W.S.

**Developer response:** Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass Sie sowohl mit dem Staubsauger als auch mit der App sehr zufrieden sind und dass alles gut funktioniert. Ich freue mich auch über Ihr Feedback zur Verbesserung des tatsächlichen Ladezustands des Roboters, zu mehreren Reinigungsplänen und zum anpassbaren Ladezustand. Ich werde Ihre wertvollen Erkenntnisse an unser Entwicklungsteam weiterleiten, damit diese berücksichtigt werden können.

Vielen Dank, Philips Home Living

### 3/5 — Gerät gut, App / Software / Schnittstelle sehr ausbaufähig

*2026-01-20*

Der Roboter lernt / merkt sich nicht die Schwellen aus den Räumen … das heisst er bleibt andauernd hängen. Schwellen solle er erkennen und dann etwas schneller hochfahren

Zusammenfügen und verändern von Räumen  hakelig. Keine cloud um sich verschiedene Karten / setups zu merken. Wenn er nicht weiß wo er ist (passiert manchmal) dann macht er wiedereine neue Karte.

Updates & Verbesserungen sind minimal - es gab nie eine radikale Verbesserung. Gefühlt ist man von Beta 0.1 bei  0.2 gelandet nach mehreren Jahren … 1.0 bzw. Ambitionen richtig 2.0 gibt es überhaupt nicht

**Developer response:** Ich verstehe, wie frustrierend es ist, wenn das Gerät gut funktioniert, während die App das Erlebnis einschränkt. Ich verstehe Ihre Bedenken hinsichtlich der nicht erlernten Schwellenwerte, des wiederholten Festfahrens des Roboters und der Schwierigkeiten, die Sie beim Wechseln oder Zusammenführen von Räumen haben. Ich verstehe auch, wie enttäuschend es ist, wenn Karten nicht in der Cloud gespeichert bleiben und der Roboter jedes Mal, wenn er die Orientierung verliert, eine neue Karte erstellt. Um jedes Problem zu beheben, senden Sie bitte alle Screenshots oder Bildschirmaufzeichnungen an homerun@versuni.com.

Vielen Dank, Philips Home Living

### 1/5 — Buggy. Doesn’t do.

*2026-01-10*

Poor. Cleaning plans don’t save. Custom cleaning plans don’t allow selection of more than one room with scheduling   

Do better please

**Developer response:** I understand you’re dealing with issues such as cleaning plans failing to save and custom cleaning preventing selection of multiple rooms with scheduling. To assist further, please provide a screen recording showing each issue and send it to homerun@versuni.com.

Thank you, Philips Home Living

### 3/5 — Desapontada

*2025-12-28*

Com tempo o robô cai dando pau, nao segue mapa, nao faz a configuração, termina antes! Procurei aqui um app atualizado mas nada

**Developer response:** Lamento saber sobre os problemas de mapeamento e configuração que você está enfrentando. Por favor, certifique-se de manter uma conexão de internet estável de 2.4GHz durante todo o processo. Se o problema persistir, por favor, compartilhe o modelo do seu dispositivo e uma gravação de tela do problema para airpurifier.service@versuni.com .

Obrigado, Philips Home Living

### 2/5 — Robot Vacuum Navigation and Mapping Issues

*2025-12-27, version 1.4.1*

Hello,
My robot vacuum cleaner regularly experiences navigation and mapping issues.
It randomly modifies the saved map, making it unusable for further cleaning. The robot often cannot determine its location, even though the internet connection is stable and of good quality.
Additionally, after returning to the charging dock to recharge, it frequently fails to resume cleaning from the point where it stopped and instead ends the cleaning session or behaves incorrectly.
I would appreciate your assistance in identifying the cause of this issue and advising on possible solutions.

### 1/5 — Won’t load map

*2025-11-16*

Seems to be a problem with my app not “loading map”. The machine works fine and has obviously mapped for it to work. But the app won’t show my map! Any updates to fix this?
I’ve uninstalled several times and started from reset but still will not load

**Developer response:** I understand how you feel about the map issue. Please try clearing the cache and cookies in your phone's browser. If issue persists, please share your device model and screen recording to homerun@versuni.com
