Carpet sensor "Avoid Carpet" seems to impact behavior while vacuuming. (Dreame X40 Ultra)

Are you already using Valetudo?

Yes, for a few months

Your questions

Hi, I appreciate your efforts, Valetudo is really great, thank you!
I had a question/observation about the "Carpet Sensor" setting behavior. I'm noticing that on my Dreame X40 Ultra, when the "Carpet Sensor" setting is set to "Avoid Carpet", the robot avoids carpet, even when it's doing the vacuum portion of a vacuum then mop run.
The setting description says it only applies while mopping, and in this case, the mops are safely waiting in the dock. The robot behaves as I had expected during the vacuum phase when it is set to "lift mop" or "detach mop" modes and properly vacuums and transits across carpeted areas.
Is the "avoid carpet" setting behaving as intended here? I'd have thought it would just avoid carpet while actively mopping or the mops were attached, not all the time.

Firmware :1652
Valetudo Version: 2025.10.1

I had a look at it again and, as far as I can tell, it does seem like this is actually truly the intended behavior by the vendor/firmware.

I guess you're supposed to do "Vacuum then Mop with the "detach mops" mode?
That does make sense to me, given that it will have to return to the dock anyway to wet the mops, so it might as well attach them there too.

I already had "detach mops" turned on in quirks, so the mops were actually in the dock during the vacuum phase when I observed this unexpected carpet aversion but I appreciate that you're not in control of what the vendor has coded into the firmware.
Thanks again for looking into this!
