Cant access Notifications in the MyDyson iOS app

I have connected my Dyson 360 Heurist to my iOS phone and wifi without issue and can send it instructions to clean etc.. But in the app, whenever I try the ‘Manage Notifications’ option, I get a screen saying ‘We’re having trouble connecting’. How do I resolve this?

360 vis nav alexa skill

I used to have a 360 Heurist which I could control via the Dyson skill on Alexa. Since changing to a 360 vis nav, the Alexa skill appears to do very little and returns the response “the action requested is not supported on this machine” to just about everything.I notice that on the Dyson website when I looked up the Dyson skill for Alexa it does not list the 360 vis nav as a supported device (so that appears to be correct😀). Has Dyson dropped support for the Alexa dyson skill for new devices?

Increase Vis Nav Dockingprocess with using the LED Ring

I got a really god idea for the docking in issues! That would change a lot!That idea was also sent to UK after I discussed the solution with my Vis Nav Professional. I hope it will find a way into the VisNav Settings. The IdeaCreate a toggle to switch on the LED Ring when the Vis Nav is on its way to the docking station and in the docking process. Make sure that the setting is NOT in linked to the brightness of the room- just turning on the LED lights. Here is why and how I found it as a solution.My Vis Nav and also my old 360 Heurist got always issues with docking in, no matter if it was day or night, sunny, cloudy or with lightbulbs. I got an iPhone 12 Pro Max. I switched on the flashlight and positioned it behind the Robot while it was docking in, but got issues to find the dockingstation. The reason was, I hoped that by improving the light conditions the robot will lern how to dock in better in the future…. BUT I found out that EVERYTIME I placed the iPhone-Flashlight behind the Ro

360 Heurist - Wandering robot - Direct cleaning?

Can I make my robotic vacuum cleaner take a direct route from its base to the room to be cleaned?  At the moment it sets off and wanders around the hall before going into the chosen room to clean. (Moderation Edit - Tags Added/Updated Category)

360 Eye - Docking issue

Hi everyone. I’m hoping someone can help or at the least point me in the direction of support content. I recently redecorated and had to move my robot dock. When plugging it back in, I made sure it was in the same place with nothing in front of it. On two out of three occasions the eyes has had trouble docking. Does anyone have a suggestion on what it could be or what I can try to fix it? Thank you in advance.
