Apple's recent update to iOS 18.4 has made robot vacuums compatible with Apple Home, allowing users to control these devices directly from the Home app. This integration, delayed since its announcement with iOS 18 last year, enables voice commands via Siri for tasks such as cleaning specific rooms. Robot vacuums from manufacturers like iRobot and Roborock have received necessary firmware updates to support this feature, which brings new automation possibilities, allowing the vacuums to interact with other devices within the Apple Home ecosystem seamlessly.
Apple Home now supports robot vacuums through iOS 18.4, enabling seamless control via the Home app and enhanced automation capabilities, marking a significant integration.
Siri voice commands allow users to initiate cleaning sessions simply by saying, 'Siri, clean the kitchen,' streamlining household tasks and making smart home integration smoother.
The compatibility of robot vacuums with Apple Home creates opportunities for automation, like starting the vacuum when leaving home or syncing it with other smart devices.
With Matter 1.4's arrival, robot vacuums finally fit into the Apple Home ecosystem, providing a user-friendly experience by eliminating the need for multiple apps.
