"Now you can set up automations such as "Run Matic when everyone leaves home," "Dock the robot when I arrive home," or "Stop Matic when the door unlocks." The Matter integration isn't yet certified and doesn't work with all the platforms, but it's a good start."
"The company notes in a Reddit post that while the Google Home and Home Assistant integrations are both "solid experiences," Apple Home and Siri still "feel clunky." There's no Alexa support yet, but Matic says that will come with full certification."
"Matic is a US-based robot vacuum manufacturer that was founded by two former Google Nest engineers. Its sole product, the Matic, stands out in the sea of robot vacuums for a few reasons: it rarely gets stuck, it cleans really well, it's cute, but, annoyingly, it can't get under your bed."
Matic robot vacuum has received a significant update adding support for Apple Home and Google Home via the Matter smart home standard. This integration enables voice control and automated routines such as scheduling cleaning when residents leave home or docking when they arrive. The Matter integration is currently unofficial and not fully certified across all platforms. Google Home and Home Assistant integrations work smoothly, while Apple Home and Siri integration still has rough edges. Alexa support is planned for future release following full certification. Matic, founded by former Google Nest engineers, operates locally without requiring internet connectivity for cleaning and mapping functions.
