Stick the wireless Wyze Cam Outdoor ontop of the Lidar sensor and set it to timelapse or scheduled recording and you can record the trip (unless it gets clothes-lined ducking under something and knocking the cam off). Then you can also set that cam in Night vision mode and see the Lidar everywhere it goes too.
-
You can also attach a small laser to the bot of the lidar sensor, make it point downward a little (and BEHIND the vacuum), to stay on the floor, then have it vacuum as normal, and the pets will love chasing the red dot all over the house while the vacuum does it’s job. Again, have it point behind the vacuum, otherwise your pets will get in the way of where the vacuum is trying to go.
-
If you don’t want to block off areas with boards, or use virtual walls all the time, you can put down a line of black tape (like electrical tape) and the vacuum will treat it as if there is a cliff/wall there (like stairs) and not pass it.
-
If you have carpet with black lines or something, and you don’t want the cliff sensors to keep spazzing out, you can tape over the cliff sensors with something reflective or really light, and now the cliff sensors will no longer spaz about black marks it goes over…but you’ll need to make sure there aren’t any stairs or anything that it could fall off, because now it no longer has anything to detect when there is a drop-off.

The vacuum can also climb ramps and slopes upwards of 20° angles. as I show in some videos here:
Those are some things others might find interesting.
