Hey guys,

I had been trying to find some robot vacuum I could control with either HomeKit or Siri Shortcuts, but I haven’t seen any, beside the Neato Robvac d3 and above, I cannot believe other brands are not making it compatible with an iPhone... Or somebody here knows a work around with other brands to make it compatible with homekit or use Siri Shortcuts?

Saludos!
 
There aren’t any genuine HomeKit ones but have a look at this video, it shows you how to get around it using third-party apps

Roborock vacuums using the Xiaomi app have the option for Siri Shortcuts. I have a S4 and can have it vacuum the entire house via “Hey Siri, vaccum the house.”

roomba supports ifttt
you can trigger ifttt using shortcuts.

others might support ifttt also, I just went with a big name
 
If you are willing to dive into Homebridge (There are some commercial versions, such as HOOBS), then there are a few options. I control my Roomba via Homebridge.
 
Just to echo the above if your ok with setting up home bridge I would go with a Roomba or roborock vacuum. Currently I have my roborock s4 configured to vacuum when I leave the house and I can tell Siri to clean specific rooms which is pretty cool.
 
with some skill level you can have a switch in the Home app for (at least) roborock, using home assistant. homekit does not have a support for robot vacuums (yet)

it’s all available on google
