App & Smart home
First download the compatible ZACO app from the AppStore or PlayStore.

ZACORobot App: A9s, A8s, V85 (until mid 2021), V5x (until mid 2021)
Add your robot and start the network connection.
Establish a wifi connection:
To connect your robot to the ZACO app, simply follow the steps below from the respective manual (PDF):
ZACOHome App Manual Android
ZACOHome App Manual iOS
Note: The robot can only connect to 2.4GHz WiFi.
If you've followed all the steps above and your robot still won't connect to WiFi, please remove all special characters (for example: . : , ; - / +) from your WiFi name and try again. Please note that all network devices must be reconnected after the change. If, despite everything, there are still difficulties or if you have any other questions, you are welcome to contact our ZACO customer service directly turn and you will be helped.
Hier findest Du eine Übersicht, welche Modelle mit welcher ZACO App gesteuert werden:
ZACOHome App: A11s Pro, A10, A9sPro, A9sPro White Edition, A8s, M1S, W450, V5x, V85, V6
ZACORobot App: A9s, A8s (Kaufdatum bis ca. Mitte 2021), V85 (Kaufdatum bis ca. Mitte 2021), V5x (Kaufdatum bis ca. Mitte 2021)
Um wirklich sicher zu sein, prüfe die MAC-ID deines Roboters.
Diese findest Du auf dem silbernen Aufkleber hinter dem Saug- bzw. Wischmodul.
Entnehme das Saug- bzw. Wischmodul und drehe bei den Modellen A10, A9sPro, A9s, A8s, V85 und V80 zusätzlich den Roboter um.
Note: This function is available for robots compatible with the ZACOHome app (A10, A9sPro, V5x, V6, V85, W450).
Note: The name of the robot is equal to the command name.
In the ZACOHome app you can change the name of your robot under Settings_Your Robot_ Reset name.
No, the ZACO robots are unfortunately not yet compatible with Apple HomeKit at this time.
The ZACOHome app or the ZACO Robot app is not designed for tablets and therefore cannot function on them.
If you have problems with your robot and contact customer service, you may be asked for the MAC ID of your robot. You can find this MAC ID on the silver sticker behind the dust bin or mopping module. Remove the dust bin or mopping module and turn the robot upside down for the models A11s Pro, A10, A9sPro, A9s, A8s, V85 and V80 . On the V6 model, the sticker is located next to the dust bin.
Want to share cleaning schedules and room-specific mapping (A9sPro model and up) with your family, partner or roommate in the app?
Share QR-Code:
Scan QR-Code:
Done! Now you share a ZACO robot and its control.
You just unpacked your new A10 and want your ZACO robot to clean in a planned and precise room-specific way?
For this purpose, a map is created in the ZACOHome app.
How to do it?
Here you can find a video about it:
ZACOHome map creation
For robotic vacuum cleaners that are compatible with the ZACOHome app, the speed of the side brushes can be adjusted. For very fine dust, a faster speed is more suitable, and for coarser dirt, a low side brush speed.
To change the speed, click on your robot in the app and then on the three bars in the upper right corner. From there you will be taken to the settings page, where you can choose between 1% and 100% under "Side brush speed".
For normal house cleaning, we recommend a speed of about 20%.
Maintenance & Repair
To maintain a long-lasting cleaning performance, the regular care and cleaning of your robot is very important.
Therefore, clean the dust bin or mopping module after each use of your robot and remove hair from the side and main brushes if necessary. If long hairs have wrapped themselves around the brushes and wheels, simply pull them off carefully with the enclosed cleaning tool.
If you have long hair, it may be necessary to cut the hairs with scissors first. You can then brush remaining hairs and dust out of the suction shaft with the enclosed cleaning tool.
Hint: Possible fraying of the side brushes can be significantly reduced by using warm water. This makes them more durable!
The robot can be carefully wiped with a warm cleaning cloth. The microfiber cloths should be washed at 60° in the washing machine after each cleaning process.
Periodically tap out the particulate filter over a trash can or away from home (note: do not clean with water) and replace as needed.
Also, make sure your robot's sensors are clean so as not to limit its precision and orientation.
For better clarity, we of course have a video for you on the care and cleaning of your ZACO robot.
If a part of your ZACO robot stops working, this is no reason to give up on your household helper.

The fact that your order was canceled can have several reasons. Either you asked us to do so, the item is no longer in stock or our system has detected signs of a fraud attempt. If the latter is the case and it was obviously misjudged, please place a new order and choose the payment method "prepayment via bank transfer".
In addition to the user manual included in the scope of delivery, you can also find it digitally HERE.
Possible reasons:
To significantly increase the mopping performance, we have some tips for you here:
Possible reasons:
If your robot does not start despite these possible reasons, contact our ZACO customer service directly – we will find an individual solution for this.
Suction robots equipped with fall sensors work with infrared light beams. These require a reflection to determine that floor is present. Dark floor, respectively also carpets, absorb light like the infrared light. Thus, no signal reaches the robot and it can no longer navigate properly. Since the robot's main priority is to protect itself from falling, it then backs up.
If it should really come to the point that your ZACO robot can no longer perform its service, then simply contact us directly.
You can reach us by e-mail at support@zaco.eu

Please notice: Even if you send us back a defective device - which we of course always accept - please send an email to support@zaco.eu first.
