Model: Tapo RV30 Max Plus  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I can't get my vacuum to go into a rug with a black edge. I have the latest firmware.

I understand this is because of the dropoff sensors.

 

I saw another thread that said they maybe some beta software that overcomes this issue.

 

I have tried adding the area as a rectangle carpet and it still won't go in the rug.

Hi Frank,

 

I contacted support and they sent a revised firmware for my vacuum. 

It's now working great, it turns of the stairs sensors when you mark a rug on the map.
