Eufy Robot Vacuum (alien.top)

Greetings Community,

I recently acquired a Eufy robot vacuum and seek insights from those with firsthand experience:

Impressions on the Eufy's performance – any noteworthy observations?
While it claims Alexa compatibility, I am interested in its compatibility with other home assistant systems.
Seeking best practices for integration, particularly contemplating linking it to my 'leaving home' routine.
Can the Eufy handle navigating multiple floors if I move it up or down stairs? or is its functionality confined to a single level?

Appreciate your collective expertise on this matter. Thank you. #EufyInsights

I have two Eufy 11s, a large portion of their lineup is near identical minus a few little differences. Mine have a remote and no wifi/app, where as yours has those features.

No maps on these, their random navigation “dumb” robots. Hit the button and it will go till battery gets low and looks for the charger. Works good if you have one bot and multiple stories and don’t want to worry about maps or anything like that, which was my situation.

It will collect a lot of stuff for the first few weeks than it will gradually become less. This is fairly normal with all new robot vacuum owners.
