Steps to Add Room to Roborock S7 Map

  • Begin with Spot Cleaning: On your Roborock S7 vacuum, initiate a spot clean operation. Select the option “Pin N Go” and target the area inside the new room you want to add, or at least the door area. You can do this on the Roborock app by tapping on the “Spot Clean” button and drawing a rectangle over the desired area.
  • Return the Robot to Dock: Once the spot cleaning is finished, command the robot to return to its charging dock. You can do this on the app by tapping on the “Dock” button. At this point, the new room will appear as a grey area on the map in your app.
  • Set a Zone Clean: Now, you need to define a cleaning zone that covers the entire new room. Ensure that this zone extends a few extra feet on at least two sides of the room. You can do this by tapping on the “Zone Clean” button in the app and drawing a rectangle over the desired area.
  • Let the Robot Finish: Allow the robot to complete the cleaning of this zone. Once done, make sure it returns to the dock again.
  • Edit Map: Open the app and select the “Edit Map” option. In the following menu, select “Edit Room”.
  • Re-Split Rooms: In the top right corner, tap on “Re-Split Rooms”. Now, the newly added room should be visible as a separate entity on the map. From here, you can divide the space into rooms as desired and assign them names for future reference.

By following these steps, you should be able to add a new room to your Roborock S7 map successfully.
