Start a robot vacuum with Siri
Quick answer
"Start the vacuum" and Siri sends a HomeKit-compatible robot vacuum off to clean. Say "pause the vacuum" or "send the vacuum home" to dock it. Support varies by model and what the maker exposes to HomeKit, so some commands may need the vacuum's own app.
Say this
“Start the vacuum”
How it works
- 01Add the vacuum to the Home app if it supports HomeKit
- 02Wake Siri and say "start the vacuum"
- 03Use "pause" or "send the vacuum home" to control it

If Siri doesn't get it
Many robot vacuums offer limited HomeKit control. For room-specific cleaning or schedules, use the manufacturer's app or a Shortcut.
