Connect your Samsung Jet Bot Robot Vacuum to SmartThings
Vacuuming can be a pain, especially when you need to drag a heavy appliance around your house. Luckily, there’s zero hassle when you use your Samsung Jet Bot, Jet Bot+, or Jet Bot AI+ vacuum with the SmartThings app on your phone. Once your Jet Bot is connected to the app, you’ll be able to control and monitor the vacuum’s progress as it cleans your floors. You can even set the Jet Bot to clean during the day, so you can arrive home to perfectly clean floors and rugs.
Note: Connecting your Jet Bot Vacuum to the SmartThings app on your Galaxy phone requires Android 6.0 or higher.

Create a map for your Jet Bot
When you finish connecting your Jet Bot with SmartThings, the first thing you should do is have the device create a map. Some cleaning options require you to make a map first, and even if one doesn’t, it’s a good idea to make a map so your Jet Bot will learn its way around your home.
Tap the Devices tab, and then tap the Home icon. Select the location with your Jet Bot. Swipe left or right to find your Jet Bot, and then select it.
Select Language, and then select a map creation method.
Learn layout: The vacuum will do a preliminary scan of your home and create a map that way.
Create map while cleaning: The Jet Bot will start cleaning and it will build a map as it cleans.
The Jet Bot will roam around the room for a few minutes until it’s done mapping. When it’s finished, it will be able to distinguish areas and objects automatically.
Now you can run a cleaning cycle and have confidence that your Jet Bot knows where it’s going! Check out our guide on Managing maps to learn about additional map settings. The guide also covers cleaning cycles and other features.
