For the longest time there was suddenly a new room on the other side of a concrete wall. I could not for the love of me figure out what my vacuum had managed to scan through the wall and even started to wonder if there had been a door there before. Then I realized, I had put a mirror there temporarily..
I were close to losing it before I connected the size of the 'door' with the size of the mirror. I even knocked all over the wall and felt for signs of a hidden pathway
A lot of the gaps that look like odd spaces between randomly constructed rooms are probably things like furniture it can’t get under or closets that it doesn’t vacuum in.
I have a chinese robot vacuum (not a popular name but it was the cheapest one with a lidar), and it just uses Tuya (a Chinese smart home app used for many devices). In Tuya, you can fix the way rooms are "cut" and make no-go zones.
There's a problem though - if the vacuum gets stuck or lost and fails to understand where it is, it would just erase everything it knew about the apartment, so I got tired of setting stuff up again

I thought this was going to turn into a psychological thriller.

The true sci-fi (or horror) story starts when the Roomba crosses through and starts vacuuming the mirror room.

Wonder what it would do if you surrounded it with mirrors facing each other?

Is that a fucking mansion?

5, 11, and 13 are likely all the same room, maybe a kitchen where it goes around the center long countertop.
Similarly 10 and 3. These things are not smart

Rich people exist. Unrelated: do you have a good barbecue recipe?

I've labeled the outside world as "outer space" and the basement stairs as "the abyss" for mine.

Does this guy live in The Backrooms or something? This layout is mental.

That's just the bedroom.

Btw, is there any alternative firmware for any robovacuum that has built-in privacy and where you can freely edit rooms? Support for doors too?
Beacon@fedia.io · 8 pts · 1y
It really doesn't let you delete spaces it can go to? That seems like such a basic functionality it should have

Your roomba is now plotting world domination.
At this point there is nothing you can do, just hope the cat doesn't decide to aid them.

That's alright, mine apparently sees into the ghost dimension and discovers rooms that aren't there.
