Robot vacuums are supposed to make life easier… but most of them still run on dumb schedules.
In this video, I’m testing what happens when you bring a robot vacuum into your smart home using Matter — including Apple Home integration, voice control with Siri, and real automations that actually make sense in everyday life.
Instead of running at random times or getting in the way, this setup allows the vacuum to respond to what’s actually happening in your home.
-------------
I’m using the @roborockglobal Saros 20, a new flagship robot vacuum with Matter support, advanced navigation, and a fully automated dock.
Get $210 off the Saros 20 between 3/23-3/29
Gift package versions available at Target and Best Buy with more accessories:
- Mop cloth x 2 (one pair)
- Cleaning Solution 200ml *1
Links:
Amazon: amzn.to/4sHUnHx (US), amzn.to/4uIvi14 (Canada)
Official Store: bit.ly/4rzGPNf (US), bit.ly/3PgZVdJ (Canada)
Target: bit.ly/3N8jmEY
Best Buy: bestbuy.7tiv.net/bka9vm
-------------
In this video, I’ll show you:
• How Matter works with robot vacuums
• Apple Home integration and Siri control
• Smart home automations that actually work
• Real-world cleaning performance and navigation
If you're building a smart home, this might completely change how you think about robot vacuums.
