I bet you could use Be My Eyes or some other similar app like CrowdViz. I've
been told by my family that the on-device screen is quite easy to read. It's
worth a try, at any rate. Keith

Hi,
Even calling tec support, you will need eyes for setting this up. No way
around it.
The app allows you to set a scheduling time for it to vaccume on it's own,
to start and pause the vacuming etc.
Sorry, but I did what you did and even called tec support, and they need
someone to look at the screen on the vacume itself to set up the unit so
that you can control it by the app.
App has other basic features too, but first you need to set it up using the
screen on the machine itself and then you can use your app.
There is a check box on the screen under settings that someone with eyes
needs to click on.

Well I think you might have underestimated the ease of getting connected to
the WyFy. I had my sister turn it on and then thought I would be able to
complete the process with the app. I got through all the steps up to waiting
the 3 minutes for it to connect. At the end of that, I got the message that
it failed to connect with no explanation except to check the display screen.
If I could see the display screen I would not need the app. So I am a bit
frustrated now with no sighted assistance available and no way to get
started. When I try to repeat the process, the Neato no longer shows up as
an access point on the WyFy settings? any suggestions?

Hi all,
After a little panic on my part, i now find I can use the app a little
better! i just managed to change Turbo to Eco. I just did a spot clean, when
it cleans an area, either 2 meters x 2 meters or 4 meters x 4 meters. Then
it returns to base. I did this by just pressing a button, so very easy.
Useful for rugs or single rooms. My issues with my house network wifi
settings are almost resolved, touch wood. I am discovering that the best way
to deal with the vac is to let it do its own thing, I.E., "clean house"
either with the app or just press a button, there are only two buttons, and
then leaving it to finish. From my reading, this is true for all users, but
especially for us, as not all notifications are sent to the app, some show
up on the onboard screen and need to be read. I find it a bit concerning
replacing the Bot on its dock, visually, you can tell by the lights that it
is in the right position, but without the clues, hard to tell. So a quick
way to be sure would be to do a "spot clean" by pressing one button, when it
has finished, it will go home and play a tune and send a message.
Still very happy, floors cleaner than they have been for years!
Smug, Sandy.
