Roborock, one of the reference brands in the world of ultra-intelligent home robotics, has released an interesting and timely update for its robot vacuum cleaners . Now that the cost of electricity has increased throughout Europe, the manufacturer has added a function that allows its robots to be automatically charged during times when electricity is worth less.
Of course, this is an optional feature that you have to activate from the robot settings through the app. If you want to continue charging your Roborock at the hours you want, you can do it. However, those who want to save a little on the electricity bill , this update will fit like a glove.
Roborock is the first robot vacuum brand to launch such a feature
Roborock is a pioneer in implementing these kinds of features, which really come in handy in these modern times . And it is that the brand is carrying out an initiative called “Innovation to live better” that seeks to offer novelties that really improve the quality of life of users. Hopefully more manufacturers, not just robots, will follow suit.
Now, how exactly does Roborock’s power consumption reduction feature work? Easy. During peak hours (where electricity is more expensive), your Roborock robot will only charge up to 30% . Then, in the off-peak hours where electricity is cheaper, it will be charged up to 100%. That way, it will always stay charged at a low cost.
It should be noted that the function must be activated from the settings of the Roborock app for Android and iOS, and it needs to be configured manually to set the local time when electricity costs less . Otherwise, the application could assume a period of peak hours as the off-peak time of your country.
Finally, you should know that this feature is currently only available on the Roborock S7 MaxV series of robot vacuum cleaners. It is expected that it will soon also reach other models of the brand’s robots, as well as the Mi Home application. For more information, check the Roborock official website .
