The most consequential addition is the filter alert: owner reports had documented cycles completing with a clogged filter as the primary degradation path.
WatchingWhether alert threshold accuracy matches real-world clogging intervals documented in owner forums.
A useful maintenance-awareness update; no capability change. The filter alert reduces the frequency of degraded cycles if owners act on notifications promptly.
On autonomy
- Software update does not alter grid-mapping or navigation behavior
- Level III classification unchanged; no new autonomous capability introduced
On readiness
- Filter alert notifications address the primary degradation gap identified in owner reports
- Winter-hold mode simplifies seasonal scheduling for northern-climate users

App Update Scope
MyDolphin Plus app update (version not publicly disclosed in release notes) added two functional changes for M600 users: a winter-hold scheduling mode allowing seasonal pause without canceling the recurring schedule, and push-notification alerts triggered when filter pressure readings exceed a threshold indicating clogging.
Filter Alert Mechanism
Alert is pressure-based: the app reads motor load as a proxy for filter restriction. Manufacturer does not publish the threshold value. Owner forum reports indicate alerts fire approximately 1-2 days after visible clogging in light-debris conditions; heavy-debris conditions may exceed threshold faster. Alert does not interrupt an active cycle.
Hardware Compatibility
Update applies to M600 units connected via Wi-Fi to MyDolphin Plus. Bluetooth-only connections do not receive push notifications; Wi-Fi pairing is required for full alert functionality.
