10 months agoI have two Eufy 11s, a large portion of their lineup is near identical minus a few little differences. Mine have a remote and no wifi/app, where as yours has those features.
No maps on these, their random navigation “dumb” robots. Hit the button and it will go till battery gets low and looks for the charger. Works good if you have one bot and multiple stories and don’t want to worry about maps or anything like that, which was my situation.
It will collect a lot of stuff for the first few weeks than it will gradually become less. This is fairly normal with all new robot vacuum owners.
Good approach, KISS. Keep it simple and stupid.
Motion sensors for lights are a reliable and old school way to go. HOA wants a front porch light in for us once it’s night, my solution a light sensing bulb that drops in and turns on automatically once it’s nighttime.
Eufy 11s, robot vacuum with random navigation and remote. Cleans well, no app and due to no maps no issues picking it up and hitting auto clean button in whatever location I want. Can still set schedules, manually control it, etc it just randomly cleans till battery is low and charges.Ran daily I have no need to tell it to randomly clean when I’m away in an app, the house is already vacuumed.
A lot of things can be automated without going the smart home route which can introduce security and privacy issues. And reliance on software that may or may not be working in a few years. Figure out what works best for you.
