Apple announced plans to give the Apple Home app support for robot vacuum cleaners by the end of 2024, now delayed with expectations for iOS 18.3.
The Home app will support essential functionalities of robot vacuums, enabling controls like power management, cleaning mode, and charge status, alongside automation through HomeKit.
Users will not be able to set cleaning areas or no-go zones via the Apple Home app, but can still manage cleaning schedules and commands.
HomeKit support for robot vacuums will likely utilize Matter, focusing on Matter-certified devices for seamless integration within the smart home ecosystem.
