Whether you're at home or on the go – with the Miele Scout smartphone app just tell your robot vacuum cleaner where you want it to clean and when. The app offers convenient operating functions. The Status Screen gives you all key information at a glance, e.g. which mode the Scout is currently in and when it will begin the next cleaning session. With just two clicks you can select a cleaning mode and start the robot vacuum cleaner straight away. The timer function can be used to program the start time for cleaning. Up to 7 individual timers can be set, allowing cleaning to start at different times on weekdays than at weekends. Furthermore the Scout navigates systematically through the rooms and generates a map of the area being cleaned. This enables you to track where the Scout is at any given time and find out which areas have already been cleaned. With the Home Vision HD function*, you can check that everything is in order at home at any time while you are on the go. Using the front cameras, you can also monitor the activities of the robot vacuum cleaner in real time. The camera image is sent via live tracking to your mobile device securely and in encrypted form. Important information for use The pre-requisite for the use of this app is a Miele Scout robot vacuum cleaner. * Depends on model
