That is why I have denied internet access for my robot vacuum cleaner. Xiaomi doesn't need to know the blueprint of my house, and if it can't connect to the internet, there's no need for firmware updates.

I'll start the thing by pressing the button at the top.

    I’m unfamiliar with Xiaomi “smart” products, I assume there is an app to control the vacuum, if it does have an app does it still work for you strictly behind your LAN network?

    It does have an app, but I'm not using it. It also doesn't work, because it can't find the vacuum on the network.

    The device has 2 buttons: "turn on/off" and "find home", those are the only two I need.

    A vacuum doesn't need internet access.
