Connecting Roomba to the iRobot HOME App

Step 1 - Confirm Network

Step 2 - Enter Password

The Wi-Fi network password needs to be entered at this time. If no password is required, the field can be left blank.

Step 3 - Activate Roomba

This step will allow Roomba to generate its own Wi-Fi network. To activate Roomba, press and hold the DOCK and  SPOT buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. Roomba will generate a tone and flash a green  Wi-Fi signal icon.

Step 4 - Connect (mobile device) to Roomba

• iOS: Exit the App by pressing the  Home button on your mobile device. Navigate through Settings ➔ Wi-Fi and select the Wi-Fi network name that has “Roomba” listed.
• Android: This step is not required, the mobile device joins the Roomba network automatically. There is a prompt at the bottom of the page in case this step does not happen automatically.

Step 5 - Network Setup

The network password and other information are sent to Roomba during this time, and Roomba attempts to join the customer's home network. Check for Wi-Fi Setup Requirements.
