3. Карактеристики и режими

The Virtual Wall Lighthouse offers two distinct operational modes, selectable via a switch on the device:

3.1. Lighthouse Mode

In Lighthouse mode, the device acts as a guide for your Roomba. It contains Roomba in one room until that room is completely vacuumed. Once the cleaning cycle for the first room is finished, the Lighthouse directs Roomba to proceed to the next room, enabling efficient room-to-room cleaning.

3.2. Virtual Wall Mode

In Virtual Wall mode, the device creates an invisible barrier that Roomba will not cross. This is useful for blocking off-limit areas in your home, such as pet bowls, delicate furniture, or areas with loose cables, preventing Roomba from entering them.
