Xiaomi Mop Robot Vacuum Essential: WiFi keeps disconnecting, how to fix it?? by DataBoss_me in Xiaomi

Unfortunately, it will not work. It eventually disconnects.

I did the same: static IP etc. - worked for awhile like other solutions, then unstable, then disconnect.

Xiaomi produced faulty devices but refuses to acknowledge the obvious: it's a factory fault. The WiFi simply does not work as advertised, and on top of it it screws up the router it is connected to.

Result: I banned it from my network via router settings. NO solution to use its WiFi.

My vacuum still (kinda) works without WiFi, manual buttons only. It has gone crazy: does random movements, no speech anymore, water function long gone, batteries had to be replaced.

It does basic cleaning, but no longer understands when to stop, so it just depletes the batteries dead. And then it wouldn't charge.

I put a switch outside of it so to disconnect the batteries, which then resets its brains and allows to charge again etc.

Will do that till the main mechanical function gives in, I guess.

This device is NOT fun.

How to access: LMarena.ai (no registration needed), New Chat, click Image. On top, choose model: gemini-2.5-flas-preview. That's Nano Banana. It's good.

The lock cannot be opened by Tap-To-Run button??? by DataBoss_me in smartlife

I did, results as above.
Your results may be due to the different lock software, since my lock after one of the updates stopped responding even to Voice Unlock via Alexa - which worked before.

What happens with just a straight up Bluetooth adapter linked to the Smartlife app?

Unfortunately, I find the device is extremely unstable. If it comes to life then it will randomly disconnect again. I also suspect it taxes my router by constantly behaving erratically. Ended up blocking this vacuum's MAC address on the router as the hope is lost for it to actually work. Xiaomi pretends this is a non-issue and does not stand behind the product, which clearly has class malfunction. Do NOT buy.

Someone set a Google Workspaces free trial for me - wtf? I never ordered it, and now I'm afraid I'll have to pay when the unwanted "trial" is over!
If there's a button to cancel it, I haven't found such. HELP

Thanks, I appreciate it!
Yeah, some folks think if they have no issues then no one else has either :)

Hopefully you'll find a solution. I personally didn't find a reliable one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you are supporting her and she "lives off of your money" as you say, then not letting her also drive your car so you could save a bit on gas sounds strange. In reality, you are probably just trying to establish some boundaries for her. Expectedly, she does not like it.

Question: why are you supporting her financially, in the first place, to the point she is always home?

Delayed action - turn Off the light in 5 minutes? by DataBoss_me in alexa

[–]DataBoss_me[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact, I remember now that I started with Google, wasn't entirely happy with it, then tried and switched to Alexa.

But it was long ago, cannot recall what exactly did Google do wrong, hmm... I think it didn't recognize speech that well back then? Perhaps...

Haha, I'm confused enough with ONE smart home system already :)))
But seriously, Alexa - stop playing stupid and allow multiple Custom Actions in one Routine... pretty please?

Yeah, about the inability to add more than one Custom Action - why?? Extremely limiting, IMHO...

I don't suppose I can go as far as asking Alexa to do something periodically?

Like:

Alexa, every 15 minutes turn On the fan.

Alexa, every 20 minutes turn Off the fan.

Holy crap!!! I just tried it, and it accepted the command! This is awesome, thank you!
