Renamed, divided or restored rooms can leave old routines pointing at unexpected areas. Compare a manual room command with the saved schedule.

Start with these checks
- Launch one room directly from the map and verify where the robot goes.
- Check every room selection inside the recurring routine after map edits.
- Recreate only the affected routine if its references no longer match the intended rooms.
What this looks like at home
Renaming a study to nursery does not prove that a previously saved routine now targets the intended area.
Give the robot a consistent starting point
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Starting point | Use the model’s recommended localisation procedure. |
| Selected map | Confirm the correct floor and room selection. |
| Physical route | Check doors, furniture and the return to the dock. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not delete all floor maps when only one old routine is wrong.
Buy a part only after identifying the cause
Check the exact model and part reference before buying. If cleaning resolves the problem, a replacement may be unnecessary.

What the result tells you
Save screenshots of the current room divisions and the affected routine. If direct room commands work while an old routine does not, concentrate the repair on that routine instead of erasing the entire map.
