Product notes
Roborock PR: Apple Home (Works with Apple Home; iOS/iPadOS 18.4+), Google Home, Amazon Alexa. HA: native Roborock integration preferred; Matter path limited entities / community reports of incomplete start/dock on Matter. Roborock support stated they do not promote HA.
How it differs from the type answer
- Type matrix robot_vacuum is coarse; Matter exposes limited RVC controls vs full Roborock app (maps, mop modes, etc.).
- Apple Home automation of cleans cited in PR — stronger than older Apple type-list omission; aligns with matrix v0.2 Med update for RVC×Apple.
- HA Matter ≠ HA Roborock cloud integration — SKU path choice matters.
