Robot vacuum unable to transition between surfaces (cliff sensor issue)

[R.Good]

I have read where some put tape and white paper over the sensors if they have no “cliff areas” to worry about.

Wyze vacuum and black squares on carpet

Vacuum works great on hardwood and tile floors, but when going on our carpet with 4" black border and many 12" squares the vacuum does not know what to do.

Vacuum cliff sensor bypass

There needs to be a way to turn off cliff sensors for single story homes and/or a better solution which would be ‘safe areas’ in the mapping. The second choice would be more funct…

Wyze Robot Vacuum Cliff Sensors Explained

Hello Wyze Robot Vacuum users, As you may know, Wyze Robot Vacuum has 4 cliff sensors on its bottom edge. Do you know how the cliff sensors work to avoid falling off the stairs? [image] Cliff sensors measure the distance between the robot base and the floor, usually by bouncing infrared light off the floor. If there is a sudden increase in the distance to the floor, the amount of reflected light off a surface changes. That means the robot is getting close to a stair edge or something similar,…
