Honiture Obstacle Detection Weak / IR Sensor Degradation

Robot vacuum frequently collides hard with furniture instead of slowing down before contact.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Front IR sensors dirty or misaligned, Strong ambient light interference, IR sensor board aging, Bumper switches only triggering after hard impact

Safety first: Turn OFF the robot.

Clean front sensor windows: Wipe all front-facing dark plastic windows with a microfiber cloth.
Reduce glare: Avoid running the robot in very bright direct sunlight that can saturate IR sensors.
Check bumper action: Ensure the bumper moves freely and that light taps cause the robot to react (test while ON).
Replace sensor board: If the robot only reacts after physical bumper contact and not to approaching obstacles, replace the Front IR Sensor Board.
