Strange things are happening....
 
Two weeks ago, my Roomba started cleaning at 2am in the morning on a Saturday. I thought perhaps a neighbor's garage door may have set it off. Then, last Thursday, the stereo system cut on and was playing music at 4 AM. On Sunday morning, the Roomba started again. Now while I like a clean home and music, I found these happenings unsettling. The Roomba is not programmed (because I don't know how). And the stereo system cutting on was very unnerving. I thought I had a home invasion. Anyone have any suggestions other than the Russians are hacking? Or that I live in the upside down world? I am getting sleep deprived from all these shenanigans.

Don't have a Roomba but yesterday, or Tuesday (?) most of the cable news networks (and CNBC that has daily stock market news) had a "blurb" about Roomba's issues with programming and things like you observed, including never ending cleaning, and other "strange" happenings. Maybe a google or other search can guide you to these reports and what Roomba is trying to do to correct them.

This is only the beginning. Nostradamus made the call over 500 years ago.

THE ZOMBIE APOCALPSE has begun!!

Every once in a while our Roomba loses its mind and will vacuum at odd time. If you reboot it, it should correct the issue. The process to reboot varies between the different models. The directions on how to do this will be in the user manual.

At 4am. if I was a Roomba, I would turn on the stereo as well.
It's quite spooky on your own at that time of the morning.
Just wait till Roomba spots the coffee machine, and invites all the local Roombas round for a break!!

I love my Roomba. I talk to him. Encourage him. Reward him.

A very adept ghost? Electricity tampering is easy for them I hear. No lamps turning on by themselves? :shocked:

Do you have a neighbor who is a Ham operator? I know they can set off the golf cart alarms if they happen to be on the same frequency. Don’t know if it’s the same for your electronics but maybe something to look into

Replace the charging station. Worked for mine.

Probably just a power surge

It sounds like a ghost! I’ve heard of Roombas turning on randomly but the stereo going on is really odd!
