5.2 App Connection (ZACO HOME)
For full control and scheduling features, download the ZACO HOME app.
- Download the "ZACO HOME" app from your smartphone's app store (Android or iOS).
- Register an account and log in.
- Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The ZACO V85 does not support 5GHz networks. If your router broadcasts both, ensure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz network during setup.

5.3 InvisibleWall Setup
The InvisibleWall sensor creates a virtual barrier to restrict the robot's cleaning area.
- Insert the included batteries into the InvisibleWall sensor.
- Place the InvisibleWall sensor on the floor at the entrance of the area you want to block. Ensure the sensor's infrared beam is facing the direction you want to restrict.
- The robot will detect this invisible barrier and avoid crossing it.
