My xiaomi uses wifi to communicate to the app on your phone and its dock. The app is useful, you can specify a zone to clean from a previous lidar scan of your place, have it come and do a spot cleanup, establish schedules or trigger a clean while you are away, or you can control it manually with directional controls.
That being said I think it would still work fine without the wifi doing a whole area clean with the button on the top, it just might say its having trouble finding its dock and you would need to carry it home after its finished.
- LarryMullins 4y ago> trigger a clean while you are away Perfect for those occasions when I'm away on vacation but the dirt on my kitchen floor back home is bothering me... Honestly half these features only exist because they're easy to implement and make the feature list longer, not because they're actually useful. And the other half don't require the internet, I set schedules on my roomba that has no radio in it, it has four buttons and a seven segment display.

- kjkjadksj 4y agoI have a cat and its pretty much a guarentee I need to have the vacuum run every few days. Its still useful to check in with it. Sometimes the vacuum gets stuck. Sometimes something blocks it and prevents it from cleaning a room, and I can tell that because I have a map of the lidar scan with a path drawn of the vacuum route on it in the app.
