When Apple released iOS 18.4 to everyone earlier this year, it came with a big upgrade to the Home app. Users can now add robot vacuums to HomeKit for the first time thanks to the Matter smart home standard.
Here are the robot vacuums compatible with HomeKit…
What can you do with a robot vacuum in HomeKit?
Once you add a compatible robot vacuum to the Home app, you’ll see the device alongside all your other HomeKit accessories.
You can integrate your robot vacuum with different automations and scenes in the Home app. You can also schedule it to run at certain times of day and as part of specific automations, including scheduling and automating cleanings for specific rooms at specific times.
Additionally, if you have a robot vacuum that supports vacuuming and mopping, the Home app will let you pick between those modes. The Home app will also show you the device’s current status, such as whether it’s cleaning or charging.
Integration with HomeKit also means you can control your robot vacuum with Siri. You can say things like, “Siri, clean the living room” or “Siri, mop the kitchen” to begin hands-free cleaning.
You will, however, still have to use the manufacturer’s app for the more robust features and controls for your robot vacuums. This includes mapping, object avoidance settings, custom routes, and more. For the fundamentals and day-to-day usage, the Home app should be able to get the job done.

So, which robot vacuums support HomeKit integration? It’s more than you might think, thanks to the Matter smart home standard. This makes it easier for manufacturers to adopt new features.
