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

I bought the robot a few days ago and can't figure out why it is showing this error. I have tried a few factory resets, but nothing seems to work. 

 

It is on the ground level, but when I try to start it for mapping, it says "The device is tilting. Please put it on the level ground". 

 

Any idea ?

Place the robot on the level surface and power cycle the device by switching the side ON/OFF switch. 

 

Before hearing the voice prompt and completing of startup, please keep the machine placed on a flat surface without tilting or moving it. 

 

Then try to start mapping again, let me know if it helps.

After 2 weeks of constant communication with the TPLink Technical Team, and a few debugging hours, they found out the gyroscope inside the device was faulty. So, the solution was to return the product back to the store. 

 

If you get the error constantly regardless if you reset it a few times and try on different surfaces, it might be the same issue. 

 

Thanks

Can you share a picture of the error here? Please also take a picture of the robot where the dock is located.

I've attached a screenshot with the error and also with the robot next to the dock. I was also trying to show there is no tilting and I have also tried to move on other side of the house on a different floor.

Thanks for your help, but I am a few steps ahead. 

 

Also contacted Support and they still can't figure it out what is wrong with it.
