       Grrr, bought a new #robot vacuum, with proper reviews etc. And of course it comes with an app these days. So the thing has to connect to WiFi... Which of course it didn't. :-(Tried a few times over, different networks, checked the password etc. Even created a new network just for IoT devices (which is a good measure anyways). Nothing still.Searched a bit, with the tips being: turn of VPN (I have the DDG tracking protection thing) and mobile internet/4G. That did the trick!

       @loy it probably couldn't find it on the local network with a VPN on. That happens sometimes with Chromecast too. Not always tho and idk when exactly.

       @karmanyaahm yeah, it makes sense, as all traffic is routed through the VPN. Although it does work with other local devices. But it works now, also with VPN on.
