Stay connected! The ROMY app keeps you up to date on what your robot is up to. Access a fully functional map after the first exploration run thanks to the fastest map generation on the market. Set a cleaning schedule, smart no-go areas and cleaning reminders to smarten up your cleaning routine with ROMY. ACCESS THE FULL FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR ROBOT WITH THE ROMY APP • Immediately edit and customize the map after the first exploration run • Clean your entire home or focus on specific rooms and areas • Create restricted no-go areas • Use the spot cleaning function for a quick clean of small areas • Let ROMY suggest smart no-go areas when it gets stuck in one place several times • Set a cleaning schedule for automatic cleaning with the calendar function • Start ROMY while you're on the go • Stay up to date with push notifications • Allow smart suggestions, so ROMY can automatically remind you if you haven't cleaned a room for a while • Stay fully informed on ROMY's estimated cleaning times • Find out which areas ROMY has already cleaned with the visible cleaning path updated in real time • Create maps for up to 3 different areas (floors) • Define the floor type for rooms or areas – carpet will be automatically left out during a wet cleaning run A 5 MINUTE JOB INSTEAD OF 2 HOURS OF NOISE The robot's smart navigation reacts to obstacles in real time and updates the cleaning path and map during every run. Create convenient special cleaning zones for areas that you want to clean regularly. For example, you could send ROMY to do a quick vacuum under the dining table after every meal. 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. NO-GO AREAS AND SMART NO-GO AREAS Create areas that you want ROMY to avoid when cleaning. The tangled cables under your desk, for example. If ROMY experiences difficulties in a certain area, it will suggest creating a smart no-go area. NO SURPRISES – WE HAVE A PLAN Always stay in the know about cleaning schedules, progress, and the remaining duration of the cleaning run. Assuming there are three rooms to clean in your apartment, ROMY will tell you in which order it will clean them and how long it will take. FLEXIBLE AND RELIABLE Everyone's out? Then now is the perfect time to let ROMY work for you. Or use the app to set fixed days, times, rooms and areas to clean. ROMY cleans autonomously and independently. Are you expecting a spontaneous visit? No problem: use the app to tell ROMY to clean while you are on the go and return to find the job done. SUPER STRONG OR SUPER SILENT Super silent, silent, normal or intensive: ROMY has four different cleaning intensities that can be assigned to individual rooms or areas. CARPETS LIKE IT DRY Assign a floor type to rooms or areas in the app. ROMY recognizes when its water tank is attached and automatically avoids areas that have been defined as carpet. ROMY KEEPS YOU UPDATED Whether it has finished cleaning or the dust container needs to be emptied – ROMY always reports back to you with push notifications on your phone. For lovers of detail, the app gives you an exact record of the total area cleaned, cleaning time, trips, and distance driven.
