Favorite Jobs

Alex Corn edited this page May 27, 2022 · 2 revisions

Introduced in version 2, it is possible to save specific cleaning jobs as "favorites" and recall them later using HS4 events. HS4 favorites are distinct from favorites saved in the iRobot Home mobile app.

To manage your favorite jobs, select Plugins > iRobot > Favorite Jobs in the top menu to open the favorite jobs page.

Adding a New Favorite Job

To add a new favorite job, first start your desired job on the desired robot. Then press the "Refresh" button under the Last Jobs Started heading. You should see a brief description of the job that was last started on each robot. To save a job, press "Save As Favorite" next to the desired job, then give the new favorite a name in the dialog that opens and press "Save Favorite".

If a particular job cannot be saved as a favorite, you will see "Not Favoritable" listed next to it. See the Limitations section below for more details about what types of jobs can be saved as favorites.

Each job must be unique and have a unique name. Saving will fail if your entered name is the same as a job that has already been saved for that same robot, or if the saved job is identical to any job that has already been saved for that same robot.

Once a job is saved, it will appear under the Favorite Jobs heading. From there, you can immediately start the job or delete it from your favorites.

Using Favorite Jobs

Favorite jobs can be started from the Favorite Jobs page, or from HS4 events. See the Action section on the HS4 Events page for more information.

Limitations

At the moment, the only type of job that can be saved as a favorite is a specific-room-cleaning job (Roomba i, j, s series and Braava jet m series). Time-limited "clean everywhere" jobs and Imprint Link jobs depend on the iRobot cloud and cannot be saved as favorites in HS4.
