Correct title; `Detection of Air Flow Obstructed and Sensors Blocked Having Been Fixed`

(Editing the title I saw no option for.)

During cleaning just now another message appeared, `Drop Sensors Obscured.` But after cleaning those, using a camera lens blower, and turning the device back on its wheels, `Continue` appeared.

Hello, 

when the “Airflow Obstructed” or “Sensors Blocked”  message appears, and it has been fixed, I see no other option than to power the device down and restart it again from the same spot it was on, and from there it seems to continue were it left off.

On the latest map I see that the last part it just cleaned is smaller than the previous part made just before this last cleaning run until it stopped to have the airflow or the sensors cleaned. So I suppose it continued to only finish off the rest.

It seems to work fine just powering down via the screen on the cleaner, and starting it again. But just as the sensors sense obstructions of air flow and blockages of sensors, maybe the software for that could be made to also detect when the issue is fixed, checking the air flow or sensors again, offering an option to activate a special fast reboot or something for that, so that after that one can choose “Continue.”

Just an idea.

PPS:

Right now the robot has returned to the dock having finished cleaning and is being recharged.

But on the app it still reports “Airways blocked.” Yet the bin has been emptied and no airway is blocked, (I checked carefully, even the air inlet under the roller.)

I like the app for showing on the map were there was more and where less or no dust. And that it left no place unvisited as all obstacles were removed from the floor of the front room and moved to the adjacent bedroom.

I'm so glad the app's messages can be overruled and  bypassed by directly utilizing the screen on the marvelous machine.

😊

I guess this completes it in an even happier mood:

Regardless of the message “Airways blocked”, by tapping on the circle icon on the app, between the map icon on the left and the clock icon on the right, the choice appears to begin making a zone, or to just start cleaning without it. I choose the latter because instead of zoning my whole apartment -for which I would have to move a lot of things to the hallway I share with other tenants on my floor- I just move the obstacles first from my bedroom to the large front-backroom-kitchen and then vice versa. 

So happy to have discovered even on the app the erroneous messages can be bypassed and overruled. 

Corrected from the above post:

“So happy to have discovered on the app the obsolete messages can be bypassed and overruled.”

Also glad the app makes a sound when the device stopped and I have to go to the other room to fix an issue. Including emptying the bin, as the “Airflow blocked” message might indicate that.

Because the doors are closed between the rooms I might not notice the machine has stopped, but a sound from the app alerts me. 😊
