App and account
Which app, and whose account
The maker’s own app handles setup for current robots1. Some earlier models, among them the D9 and L10s Pro, were sold for Xiaomi’s app, and the manuals for those models still describe it; the maker warns against adding a robot to both apps at once1.
Binding is exclusive. One account owns each robot, and anyone else in the home gets access when the owner shares it, rather than by adding the robot a second time1.
The maker’s articles also favour plain network names and passwords, made only of letters and digits, for a smoother pairing2.
Connecting
How the details reach the robot
Frame 1Phone
Phone on the 2.4 GHz network
The phone joins the household’s 2.4 GHz network and gives the app location access before the robot is added.
Frame 2Bluetooth
First contact
Many newer robots make first contact over Bluetooth, according to the maker’s blog3.
Frame 3Robot network
The robot’s hotspot
The robot releases a hotspot called dreame-vacuum- with a code. The app connects to it, or the phone joins it manually, and the robot announces the connection aloud.
Frame 4Home network
Joining at 2.4 GHz
Given the network details, the robot connects on 2.4 GHz.
Frame 5In the app
The first map
The maker’s app guide prepares the first map with doors open and floors clear, then reviews room borders, names and no-go zones4.
The frames describe how the connection works. Each screen and its order belong to the maker’s app, which changes with its updates.

Inside
The parts that matter during setup
Speaker
The robot talks during pairing; its announcement confirms that the phone has reached the hotspot.
Wi-Fi indicator
A slow pulse means waiting, a quick pulse means joining and a constant light means connected.
Base station
Recent bases look after the mop pads, washing then drying them, and clear the bin too.
After setup
What the app handles once connected
- Maps and room edits
- No-go zones
- Suction and water levels
- Map saving and export
- Sharing with family
- Software updates
Features differ between models; the list follows the maker’s own descriptions.
Imitations
A fake notice, taken apart

Each numbered sign opens the reason it gives the imitation away.
A robot is bound from the owner’s own phone, inside the maker’s app.
Remote-access tools give a stranger control of whatever device they are installed on.
Borrowed titles lend a caller authority they do not have.
The wider pattern behind notices like this one is set out in the setup-scams guide.
Questions
Short answers
- Can a robot be added to two accounts?
- Not as an owner. It is bound to one user, who shares it with others.
- Is Xiaomi Home an option?
- For certain earlier models sold for it, yes, but never alongside Dreamehome for the same robot.
- Why plain letters and digits?
- The maker’s article links them with smoother pairing.
