Connecting your robot vacuum to Alexa allows you to control it with voice commands. The process typically involves enabling the vacuum cleaner's skill within the Alexa app and linking your accounts.
Here's a simple guide on how to connect your robot vacuum to Alexa:
- Open the Alexa App: Start by launching the Amazon Alexa application on your smartphone or tablet.
- Navigate to Skills: Tap the More option, usually found in the bottom right corner of the app. From the menu that appears, select Skills & Games.
- Search for the Skill: Tap the search icon (magnifying glass) located in the top right corner of the Skills & Games section.
- Find Your Manufacturer's Skill: In the search bar, search for your robot's manufacturer. For example, you might search for "iRobot" (for Roomba), "Roborock," "Eufy," or the specific brand of your robot vacuum.
- Select the Robot's Skill: From the search results, choose your robot's skill that matches your manufacturer.
- Enable the Skill: On the skill's detail page, tap the Enable to Use button.
- Link Your Account: Follow the steps to link your account. This step generally involves entering the username and password associated with your robot vacuum cleaner's mobile app account. This allows Alexa to communicate with your specific robot vacuum.
Once your account is linked, Alexa will discover your robot vacuum, and you should be able to control it using voice commands like "Alexa, tell [vacuum name] to start cleaning" or "Alexa, tell [vacuum name] to go home."
