This app is compatible with the following ZACO robot vacuum cleaner models: A9sPro, A10 and V5x (purchase date after mid 2020). With the ZACOHome app, you can conveniently control your robot from anywhere. Extensive map management with room and zone classification, individual cleaning schedules and customizable suction power are just a few of the many app features. This gives you ultimate control over your ZACO robot. The ZACOHome app allows you to integrate your robot vacuum cleaner to your smart home system and allowing you to also operate your ZACO by voice control. *** Functions vary depending on the robot model *** SMART MAPPING Precise map management allows you to map out your home individually. When cleaning for the first time, the robot automatically creates a map, which can then be adjusted as desired. For example, separate different rooms, name them or add virtual walls. You can save up to 3 different maps (e.g. one per floor). ZONE CLEANING With the ZACOHome app you can divide your home into different zones that have different functions. Carpet zones, for example, are automatically cleaned with maximum suction power and purposefully left out when mopping. Thanks to the To-Go zones, you can also have custom areas cleaned, which you drew on the map yourself. Of course, you can also select rooms that have been previously divided up for cleaning. FLEXIBLE CLEANING SCHEDULES Do you want to clean the kitchen every day at 9am, but the living room only once a week? The timer function can be set according to your needs for each room, map or to-go zone individually by day and time. NO-GO ZONES Protect fragile objects simply with the help of No-Go-Zones. The ZACO robot specifically omits these on its cleaning trip. You can save up to 10 different no-go zones. SIDE BRUSH SPEED The speed of the side brushes is infinitely variable, which means that even coarse dirt can be picked up without any problems. This way, with the low side brush speed, no more cat litter or dry food will fly around your home. ADJUSTABLE CLEANING The suction power can be infinitely adjusted. For example, the suction power can be reduced in the study if the robot needs to be a little quieter or increased in the kitchen to suck up every last crumb. The amount of water used for mopping can also be adjusted between three strength levels, making it ideal for any type of hard floor. For delicate floors, the "Gentle" setting is particularly suitable. REALTIME MAP VIEW Thanks to the real-time map view, you can always keep an eye on the progress of the cleaning even when you're on the move. Even after cleaning, the robot's routes can be tracked in the cleaning history. REMOTE CONTROL AND MODES Of course, the robot can also be controlled manually using the remote control function. This way you can navigate the ZACO to exactly where you want it to go, even when you're on the go. Cleaning modes such as circulating spot mode as well as edge cleaning can be activated here. SOFTWARE UPDATES With the ZACOHome app, you can keep your robot up to date at all times, because firmware updates can now be conveniently installed on your robot via the app. This way, you benefit from the constant optimization of your household helper.

DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN OR PETS? THEN YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT LITTLE ACCIDENTS. Send ROMY exactly where it needs to go using the spot clean function. Chaos in front of the food bowl, but the rest of the room is fine? Let ROMY vacuum with pinpoint accuracy without having to clean the whole room.

For lovers of detail, the app gives you an exact record of the total area cleaned, cleaning time, trips, and distance driven.
