Inexpensive Xiaomi Roborock S5 gets new functions via update

Brought a little over a year ago Roborock in co-operation with Xiaomi his Staubsaugerroboter S5 with wipe functions on the market (Here for the futurezone test). Less than half a year later, the significantly more expensive S6 followed with expanded features, such as the automatic detection of rooms that can then be cleaned in a targeted manner.

The community quickly expressed a desire to do so function can also be integrated into the S5 via update. First responded Roborock only hesitant in this regard, as this also eliminates an important sales argument for the more expensive model.

Facebook posting

Now the buyers’ requests should be answered. How Roborock announces itself in a Facebook posting, the S5 receives the room detection function via software update. The corresponding beta test is currently starting, it is said.

When exactly the update will be finished is currently still unclear. In the coming weeks, however, it will be worthwhile for S5 owners to take a look at the Mi Home app to check whether a firmware update is available.
