Article Details

A Single Robot Added to the iRobot® HOME App

You can use voice commands with your Google Assistant to clean on-demand, including starting or stopping cleaning, directing your robot to specific areas in your home, or performing other tasks, such as scheduling an upcoming robot cleaning. Google Assistant connects to all of your iRobot® devices giving you hands-free control for vacuuming and mopping.

Google Home now supports additional voice features such as Announcements and Voice Alerts which can be set up through the Google Home app.

NOTE: 

  • Google Assistant compatibility requires your robot and iRobot® HOME App software versions  to be up-to-date. 
  • Google Assistant supports the following commands with our classic Wi-Fi-connected robots (Roomba® or Braava®) connected through the  iRobot® HOME App, as well as newer models like the Roomba® 105, 205, 405, 505, 705, and beyond, which connect to our new Roomba® Home App

If more than one Roomba or Braava is connected to your iRobot® HOME App, you will need to specify which robot you want Google Assistant to control. In the list below, replace (robot name) with the name of your desired robot. For the best voice experience, your robot's name  should not contain numbers, special characters, or emojis.

  • The default setting for Roomba or Braava is to clean the entire space in your Imprint™ Smart Map if you do not specify which area.
  • If you have multiple robots with Imprint™ Smart Maps, tell Google which robot you want to put to work.
