Where Roborock fits in a smart home

Roborock robots connect to the home network and are managed through a Roborock account and cloud. Alexa and Google Home link to that account, while selected newer vacuums can also be added to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and other Matter apps after a firmware update. Home Assistant's built-in integration works locally where possible but still depends on the cloud for setup, maps and routines.

That suits people who want a vacuum they can start by voice or put into an Apple Home or Home Assistant automation. It is less simple if you want a fully local or vendor-supported open API: Matter covers only some models, and we found no official Roborock developer program or Roborock-published pages for SmartThings, Hubitat, Domoticz or Control4.

Roborock

The one app for the whole range. For vacuums it covers room, zone and spot cleaning, scheduled routines, multi-floor maps, no-go zones and remote control. The App Store listing also covers wet/dry vacuums, robot lawn mowers and washer-dryers. Published by Beijing Roborock Technology (listed in the provider details as Beijing Rockrobo Technology). The iPhone listing requires iOS 15 or later. The Google Play link comes from Roborock's own app page, and we did not open the Play page itself.

Wi-FiYesRobots must be added to and online in the Roborock app, which is a prerequisite in Roborock's Alexa instructions. Home Assistant's documentation describes the vacuum as reachable on the local network (TCP 58867 and UDP 58866) and connecting outbound to Roborock's cloud over MQTT.

It names Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa. Apple Home pairing needs iOS or iPadOS 18.4, and automations and remote access need a home hub such as a HomePod or Apple TV.

Open platforms and developer access
Home AssistantYesA built-in Roborock integration is maintained by the Home Assistant project, not by Roborock. It supports S, Q, Qrevo and Saros vacuums, with Dyad and Zeo devices cloud-only. Commands and polling are local where possible, but setup uses a Roborock account and email code, and maps and routines go through the cloud. Older models such as the S5 use the Xiaomi Miio integration instead, and some newer Q-series variants may fail to connect, though they may offer partial local control through Matter.Home Assistant Roborock
HomeyCommunityNo official Athom app found. Two community apps exist. Roborock Cloud by Kenny Moens uses the Roborock API and lists vacuums, Dyad and Zeo devices, with each device marked as needing a Homey Bridge. An older app by Justin Harings uses the Xiaomi protocol and needs a device token from the Xiaomi app. Both list Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server.Roborock Cloud on Homey Roborock Vacuum Cleaners on Homey
openHABYesA Roborock binding is in openHAB's add-on list, and it is not maintained by Roborock. Cloud mode is the default and a direct local mode is optional. Robots on the v1 protocol are fully supported, while Q7 and Q10 are partial. It authenticates with an emailed code, and map retrieval is cloud-only.openHAB Roborock binding
Node-REDCommunityCommunity nodes exist. node-red-contrib-roborock-local says it is unofficial and not affiliated with Roborock, controls robots over the local network on port 58867, and contacts the cloud only once to fetch a device key.
