How Do I Control Roomba With Google home?
Once the Roomba is connected through Google Home, you can use voice commands. There are four main commands you’ll tell Google to start the Roomba.
Start: Hey Google, start vacuuming. Send back to the charging station: Hey Google, dock (Robot Name)Clean by room: Hey Google, clean the kitchen. Clean by object/zone: Google, vacuum the couch.
Cleaning by an object or the zone would be the predefined zones (i.e.. Kitchen) you set up in the iRobot Home App. You can say, “Hey Google, vacuum the kid’s bedroom,” and the app will send the Roomba to the specific location.
If the Roomba gets lost in the house during a cleaning cycle, you can say, “Hey Google, dock Cam’s Vacuum” (my Roomba nickname). And the vacuum will return to its docking station from anywhere in the home.
For a specific job, you can say, “Hey Google, clean the living room and the kitchen.” This command will dispatch the Roomba from the docking station.
The Roomba is controlled through your voice commands using the Google Home App. As long as you have a Google Home device, you control the Roomba through voice command.
