Highly suggest that the two LEDs on the vacuum turn off after a couple of minutes of the robot being docked to the charger. The LEDs are bright at night and are generally unnecessary. Perhaps pressing a button on the robot should wake those lights, but to me I don’t see value of those lights staying on persistently.
We have two Robot Vacuums, and the one we use upstairs has to be plugged in in our bedroom, due to the layout of our space. Both the charging status lights on the vacuum itself and the really bright blue light on the base station are way too bright for sleeping in a darkened room.
We’ve taken to putting a towel over the vacuum, which works fine, but then I have to remember to remove it before we use it. I’d much prefer the ability to tell the app to disable the lights between certain hours of the day.
Along with the ability to lower voice prompts, it would be very helpful to dim the lights of the WRC dock and WRC itself. They are both very bright (particularly the blue dock/charge light) in a dark room and I’m trying to avoid masking the lights directly.
Related question: Will masking off the blue dock light actually affect the robot docking procedure at all?
I’ve had docking issues despite being on a flat surface because there was reflective surfaces in front of it.
As far as the status lights… better make it a setting. A black vacuum in a dark area, the lights make it more noticeable to help prevent someone from stepping on it.
Yes please. I just got my vac and have had it a few days now and noticed those lights don’t turn off… ever!
this would be a good battery saving request (though I’m sure probably doesn’t drain too quickly, any little bit of conservation helps!)
In the meantime, I’ll probably put a little bit of black electrical tape over mine.
