The Dreamehome app is incredibly full-featured and offers fine control over every aspect of the X50 Ultra. Watch this video to see all its menus and features.

First, you should set the robot vacuum on a mapping run of your home using either Fast Mapping or Clean & Mapping. You can see the vacuum’s path in real-time as it constructs a map. Once complete, you can create another map for another level of your home, add no-go and no-mop zones, add virtual walls, and identify thresholds. You can divide, merge, hide, and name rooms and add locations of furniture, carpet, curtains, and low-lying areas where the X50 will retract its LIDAR sensor. You can set the direction of floor gaps from vertical to horizontal for tile, hardwood floors, or other surfaces so the robot vacuum won’t create wear along the gap with its Cleaning Along Floor Direction feature. Shortcuts allow you to create custom cleaning sequences by room or by zone.

Specific settings are available for pets in the Pet Care menu. You can toggle Pet Recognition and Pet Avoidance and perform Strategic Cleaning around pets, as well as take Pet Pictures to check on your pet with the robot vacuum when you’re away from home. To ensure your pet won’t walk through wet surfaces, you can set Mopping with Minimal Moisture. You can also adjust the Auto-Empty frequency to deal with shedding and toggle Large Particle Boost to increase suction when the robot vacuum encounters a large mess.

You can toggle obstacle avoidance, control whether the vacuum takes Pictures of obstacles, and turn the Fill Light on or off to help with obstacle detection.

There’s deep control over every feature of the docking station, including adding detergent, washing the mop pads after every mopping task, setting the wash water temperature, controlling the docking station’s washboard self-cleaning, controlling mop drying time, and setting the Auto-Empty frequency. You can also initiate dustbin emptying, mop washing, and mop drying.

The Voice Assistant can be toggled on or off. You can view valid voice commands and conversation history and set the robot vacuum’s Voice Tone, Language, and Volume.

You can turn on the Real-Time Camera and set the Cruise Settings—the schedule and history of cleaning sessions. To remind you that the camera is operating, you can set Quiet, Weak, or Strong prompts. In this menu, you can also control the vacuum, take photos and videos, take pet pictures, have a two-way conversation using the microphone, and turn the Fill Light on or off.

The General Features menu shows you the Accessories Usage, tracking the run time of each replaceable part. This menu lists the Off-Peak Charging, Child Lock, and Robot Notifications settings. You can also access the Help menu here.
