Wi-Fi connection issues

It is important to ascertain if the issue is with Alexa/Echo, or with the Dyson product. Try asking Alexa a general question, such as 'Alexa, what is the weather for tomorrow?'

Operate your Dyson machine manually - use the remote or controls to turn the purifier on, or press the power button on the robot.

Echo’s connectivity status is indicated by the power LED on the bottom rear of the device, with white meaning good and orange denoting no WiFi connectivity. If you are experiencing intermittent connectivity or non-existent WiFi connectivity with your Amazon Echo, here's what to try.

First, reboot your router and turn your Echo off and on again, waiting at least 10 minutes to give time for them to reconnect. Whilst waiting, you can also try re-positioning your Echo away from devices that may be interfering with the signal.

You can also reduce the congestion on your WiFi network by removing unused devices from the network.
If you have a dual-band modem, you may effectively have two networks set up. Try switching the device from the 2.4GHz frequency to the 5GHz frequency or vice-versa.

5GHz promises less interference, better speeds and a more stable connection and it is often less congested.

Alternatively, 2.4GHz can better for devices that may be further away from the router, especially if the signal has to pass through walls.

Move your Echo to higher ground, like a bookshelf, to avoid signal interference.

Installing and setting up Alexa

To get started with Amazon Echo, place the device in a central location (at least eight inches, or 20cm, from any walls and windows). Plug the power adapter into Amazon Echo and then into a power outlet. The light ring on Amazon Echo turns blue and then orange. When the light turns orange, Amazon Echo greets you.

Next, you'll need to download the Alexa app. Go to the app store on your mobile device and search for 'Alexa app'. Then select and download the app. Launch the Alexa app and ensure the account details are filled out. In the Alexa app, open the top left menu. Select 'Settings', then 'Set up a new device'. On the top of your Echo, press and hold the 'Action' button for five seconds. The light ring turns orange and Echo will connect to your mobile device.

Back on the Alexa app, select home WiFi network and enter your home WiFi password. Select 'Connect'. A confirmation message will appear in the app.

Tip: If your Amazon Echo doesn't connect to your WiFi network, unplug and then plug the device into a power outlet to restart it. If you still have trouble, reset your Amazon Echo to its factory settings and set it up again.

Try talking to Alexa. You'll find that you can now use your Amazon Echo device. To get started, say the 'wake word' (Alexa) and then speak naturally to Alexa. Once you've set-up the Dyson skill, remember to use the trigger word (Dyson), pre-empted by the command 'ask/tell'. For example, "Alexa, ask Dyson purifier to turn on".

Your Amazon Echo device is set to respond to the wake word "Alexa" by default, but you can use the Alexa app to change the wake word at any time. In the app, go to 'Settings', select your Amazon Echo device and then select 'Wake Word'.

Connecting for different product combinations:

If you have the Dyson Link app and Alexa app both installed, and your Dyson machine and Amazon Echo are both connected, but your Dyson skill is not enabled:

Ask Alexa to enable the Dyson skill, or search for Dyson in the skills section of the Alexa app. Then select the 'Enable skill' button. Allow the Alexa skill to access your Dyson Link app account. Enter your Dyson Link app account details and select 'Allow' on the confirmation screen.

If you have the Dyson Link app installed, your Dyson machine is connected but the Alexa app is not installed and your Amazon Echo is not connected:

First, check the WiFi signal strength where your Amazon Echo is positioned, by using a device known to be working. Remember to place your Amazon Echo at least eight inches away from any walls or windows, in a central location. Ensure the power adapter is plugged in and switched on.

The light ring on the Amazon Echo will turn blue then orange. When the light turns orange, Alexa greets you. Next, download the Alexa app to set-up your Amazon Echo.

In the Alexa app, open the main menu and select 'Settings' and then 'Set up a new device'. Press and hold the 'Action' button on your Amazon Echo for five seconds. The light ring will turn orange and Echo will connect to your mobile device.

Next, select your WiFi network and enter your WiFi password. Then press 'Connect'. A confirmation message will display in the app.

Controlling multiple machines

If you have more than one Alexa-controlled Dyson machine, your voice commands should make it clear which one you want to control. You can include a word like 'purifier', 'fan' or 'robot' in your command so Alexa knows which one you mean.

If you have two or more similar machines, like a purifier in your kitchen and another in your bedroom, you can assign location labels to differentiate your machines.

Navigate to your machine's settings by selecting the cog icon on your machine's status screen. From here, select 'Your machine's settings'. If you're using a purifier, select 'Room name' and choose the appropriate location. If you're using a robot, choose 'Robot name' and select a room from the predefined list.

Alexa territories

The Dyson skill is available in the following territories:

• Australia
• Canada (English only)
• Germany
• India
• Ireland
• United Kingdom
• USA

This is due to another user connecting to your machine and taking ownership of your robot.

When adding a second user, at the end of the connection journey you will be asked if you are the robots new owner. Please select 'No, I'm just using it'. You will be able to easily control, schedule, and monitor your robot but without affecting the registered user.

To override this if you are the registered first user and you have been disconnected, you will need to complete the connection journey again. When you are asked 'Are you the machine's new owner?', please select 'Yes, I own this machine'.

Check with the other users in your house or building that know of the home Wi-Fi password your robot is set up with, and interact with your robot, to ensure there is not a misunderstanding about usability or ownership.

If you are unsure of ownership and users, you can perform a factory reset as a last resort. Please be aware this will wipe all the settings and users from your robot.

Ensure your router is connected to the wall socket and you have good signal strength.

Cleaning duration

The clean duration is an estimate only and will vary depending on the following factors;

Power mode

The specific power mode per zone can either increase the estimated time or decrease it.

For example, MAX mode will offer a faster clean, but if the space is to large to complete off of one charge, the robot will need to return to the dock.

It is recommended you select the lowest power mode when creating a zone. This will offer an overall quicker cleaning time, especially in larger spaces.

Recharge rate

Subject to the power mode selected and the space that robot is vacuuming, there may be a need for 1 or more recharges. Each recharge will add addition time over that previously estimated.

Navigation issues

The robot may become stuck in an enclosed space, narrow area or upon an object. This includes underneath furniture, entering or exiting rooms with confined doorways, threshold strip between rooms or object not removed when preparing the vacuuming space.

The robot may display a status light (tracks or brushbar). This indicates the cause of the issue.

A hazard notification will be sent to the Dyson Link app.

Return machine to dock

This indicates your robot is returning to its dock to recharge.

Clean stopped

This indicates your robot is unable to complete its clean. Return your robot to its dock and start the next clean as normal.

If the issue still persists, please relocate the dock and continue to monitor the situation.

Dock placement

The robot cleans in 5x5m grids, centered on the dock. The machine will clean each 5x5m section before moving on to the next.

Position the dock against a wall at least 50cm from any furniture or other objects.

The machine must have a clear view of the room from the dock. Do not position it under a table, house plant or other overhanging object.

Check the charging dock

Check that power is going to the charging dock. The 'power on' indicator panel should illuminate blue on the base of the dock. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the socket.

Check that the docking targets are folded out correctly and are not obstructed. The targets should be parallel to the wall and facing out to the room.

Dock issue

This indicates the machine is charging and the dock is functioning correctly, however the lights on the dock may have a fault.

LED Light is too bright or not bright enough

The robot cleans using a vision system and implements LED lighting: so that it can operate successfully.

Your robot senses low light areas and uses its ring of LED lights to selectively illuminate those areas, helping it to navigate.

It is normal for the illumination to change in brightness depending on the lighting conditions.

Keep the ring of LED lights clean by regularly cleaning with a soft, dry, lint free cloth.

If the robot is still not navigating successfully in the dark, this could be caused by uneven lighting transitions,

Please: close any curtains or blinds to prevent uneven lighting transitions, while ensuring there is fluid lighting throughout.

The main features that can cause a robot to get lost are:

When there are an insufficient amount of features in a room (empty corridor for example).

When it goes underneath furniture so that it can’t recognise where it is in the room.

When you pick up the robot and put it down where it hasn’t been before, it will get lost as it hasn’t been there before.

If you pause it to pick it up and clean the brush bar or empty the bin for example, you should always put it back where you first picked it up or where it has cleaned previously – however it would still need to re-localise when you do this and this can take a short period of time.

To avoid this error, please view the Helpful Hints for information on where to place the dock and how to prepare the room. Your machine may appear 'lost' if the sensors have not been cleaned.

Clean the sensors

Check your infra-red sensors, lens and LED lights regularly. Use a soft, dry, lint free cloth to wipe all over the robot and especially the infra-red sensors, lens and LED lights.

WARNING: Do not use cleaning fluids, liquids or sprays of any kind.

Preparing the room

Remove thin rugs or loose items that your robot may suck up.

Tidy obstacles such as shoe laces or thin cables that may become entangled in the brush bar.

Clean any liquid spills or sharp items that may cause damage to your robot.

Ensure there are no items such as bags or shoes within 10cm of any drops in the room.

Clean/Pause

Press the button to start a clean or pause your robot.

To switch ‘OFF’, press the button until the lights go out.

Robot Behavior:

The robot may appear to navigate randomly before powering down, stop cleaning altogether or return to the dock without completing a clean or sending a notification through the app.

This can be caused by a combination of the robot becoming lost, a change in ambient lighting, the sensors needing to be cleaned or the room not being prepared correctly. Each of which will need to be checked.

Restart the clean and continue to monitor the situation. Should it persist, please relocate the dock.

Change in ambient lighting

The robot uses very sensitive drop sensors when navigating. These sensors will occasionally detect sudden changes in color of brightness as a drop, which can prevent the robot from navigating certain areas.

Please: close any curtains or blinds to prevent uneven lighting transitions.

The main features that can cause a robot to get lost are:

When there are an insufficient amount of features in a room (empty corridor for example).

When it goes underneath furniture so that it can’t recognise where it is in the room.

When you pick up the robot and put it down where it hasn’t been before, it will get lost as it hasn’t been there before.

If you pause it to pick it up and clean the brush bar or empty the bin for example, you should always put it back where you first picked it up or where it has cleaned previously – however it would still need to re-localise when you do this and this can take a short period of time.

To help ensure the robot does not become lost in the future, please view the guide to cleaning the sensors and the step on how to prepare the room.

Place the machine back on the charging dock.

The area does not have sufficient lighting to navigate

The robot cleans using a vision system and implements LED lighting: so that it can operate successfully.

Your robot senses low light areas and uses its ring of LED lights to selectively illuminate those areas, helping it to navigate.

It is normal for the illumination to change in brightness depending on the lighting conditions.

Keep the ring of LED lights clean by regularly cleaning with a soft, dry, lint free cloth.

If the robot is still not navigating successfully in the dark, this could be caused by uneven lighting transitions,

Please: close any curtains or blinds to prevent uneven lighting transitions, while ensuring there is fluid lighting throughout.

Obstacles

Obstacles, such as bags, shoes etc. in the vicinity of steps might cause the sensors to not detect the drop. Tidy obstacles within 10cm of the edge of step.

Where there is a downward ramp, rug or raised flooring leading to a step down, the robot will not be able to determine the height of the drop as it is tilted forward and may fall down the step.

The robot does not have sensors in the back, however the only time that the robot reverses any significant distance is when starting from the dock, so do not place your dock within 50cm of a step.

The sensors need to be cleaned in order for the robot to detect drops successfully.

The sensors need to be cleaned in order for the robot to detect drops successfully.

Your robot has infra-red distance sensors to detect obstacles and avoid them.

The sensors are best suited to avoiding large obstacles, such as walls and large furniture. Tall, thin obstacles, such as chair or table legs are occasionally not detected. Shiny or clear surfaces such as metallic bins, chrome chair legs, mirrors, glass and windows can also fail to be detected. Black walls may not be detected if there is not adequate lighting.

In each case the robot relies on a sensitive bump detection system that avoids damage to your belongings when the robot does make contact with them.

To ensure the robot is able to detect furniture, view the guide to cleaning the sensors and the step on how to prepare the room.
