The SwitchBot app for controlling the SwitchBot K10+ is great. You can use the app for all of SwitchBot’s home automation products, with the K10+ forming only a part of SwitchBot’s home automation system. For example, you can set the robot vacuum to start a cleaning task if a SwitchBot door lock detects that you’ve left the house.
You can edit, rename, or delete maps that the K10+ has constructed, adding No-Go zones, No-Mop zones, and virtual walls. You can schedule multiple cleaning tasks per map, including the number of passes and the power level, by choosing between Quiet, Standard, Strong, or MAX.
There are a couple of options for controlling the dock. The Show Manual Option allows you to access the Manual Auto-Empty command in the app, while the Smart Dust Collection sends the vacuum back to the dock for emptying after every 60 to 90 minutes of vacuuming. You can adjust the self-empty time.
The app also has a Cleaning Report section, which shows the total cleaned area, total cleaning time, and cleaning history. You can bring up remote control buttons or select Find Robot —the K10+ will loudly announce “I’m here!” over its speaker. There’s an overview of all replaceable components and their remaining life. When you tap on a part, a helpful illustrated procedure shows you how to replace it.
There are a few other minor settings, including Child Lock and Do Not Disturb scheduling.
