> trigger a clean while you are away

Perfect for those occasions when I'm away on vacation but the dirt on my kitchen floor back home is bothering me...

Honestly half these features only exist because they're easy to implement and make the feature list longer, not because they're actually useful. And the other half don't require the internet, I set schedules on my roomba that has no radio in it, it has four buttons and a seven segment display.

I have a cat and its pretty much a guarentee I need to have the vacuum run every few days. Its still useful to check in with it. Sometimes the vacuum gets stuck. Sometimes something blocks it and prevents it from cleaning a room, and I can tell that because I have a map of the lidar scan with a path drawn of the vacuum route on it in the app.

it is nice when you are at work, nobody is at home, so you trigger it
